A complete dietetic dry cat food with urine acidifying properties. With low magnesium levels and moderate calorie content. It can help dissolve struvite stones and reduce recurrence. For adult cats.
If your cat suffers from lower urinary tract disease you can help by feeding it a diet which provides optimal nutritional support for its urinary system. Urinary tract disease can lead to urinary stones (including struvite and calcium oxalate). Royal Canin Urinary S/O products were developed as an adjunctive treatment for cystitis and urinary stones.
Indications:
Dissolution of struvite uroliths
Prophylactic treatment/prevention of calcium oxalate stones
Prophylactic treatment/ prevention of struvite stones
Contraindications:
Chronic renal failure, metabolic acidosis
Heart failure
Hypertension
Pregnancy, lactation, kittens
Parallel use of urine acidifying medication
Key benefits:
Struvite dissolution: Urinary S/O helps to dissolve struvite stones.
Moderate calorie content: The reduced calorie content makes it easier to limit weight gain in cats with a tendency to obesity (neutered cats, house cats).
Urine dilution: Diluting the urine decreases the urinary concentration of struvite and calcium oxalate.
Protecting bladder mucosa: Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) is a natural part of the bladder mucosa and protects against bacteria and toxins.
Changing your pet's diet and length of treatment:
Your pet will need to stay on this diet for 5 to 12 weeks, or until the stones are dissolved. It is advisable to feed this diet for a further 6 months to prevent a recurrence. Once your pet is better (urine test) it can be fed with Royal Canin Veterinary – Obesity Management or Satiety Support, if it is overweight. Alternatively, if your cat has been neutered and is already maintaining its ideal weight, it can be fed with a product from the Royal Canin – Neutered range.
Further information:
Please ensure that during its illness your pet is fed only with Royal Canin Veterinary - Urinary S/O Moderate Calorie UMC 34, otherwise the effectiveness of this product may be reduced. Urinary S/O wet cat food is recommended if your pet suffers with recurring idiopathic cystitis.
Therapeutic veterinary diets are carefully formulated and recommended to be used in conjunction with veterinary advice and support. Royal Canin strongly recommend you seek advice from your Vet prior to and during feeding of any of these products to your pet.
My 1 y/o cat Rupert had struvite stones which caused a complete blockage of his bladder. After his operation the vet recommended this food. He has been very happy and healthy since starting this, he seems like a different cat now less anxious and timid. He loves the taste too, would recommend. He hasn’t had any problems with stones since.

Unfortunately my cat won’t eat it...
It may work and be a brilliant product. But my cat refuses to eat it! He is not normally fussy. Quite disappointing.

I think this product has prolonged my cats' lives as they are nearly 15 now and the Vet says they have great kidneys :-)

My cat Puffy (7 years old) was starting to eat this item 4 years ago. My vet suggested to use it to solve stuvite stones. My cat had a acute inflammation and was sore. After used 3 months with this item, I solved the problem and now he is feel well, and also I!! I give him too URYS skittles that unfortunately I didn't find here.

Brilliant!
Was given this by the vet when my cat was rushed in unable to walk or move due to crystals which were crumbling. After almost losing him, this food has ensured that my cat has been healthy for three years *touch wood*. He loves the taste too!

Excellent
I was told that my cat, who for many suffered from recurrent cystitis, needed an operation to remove two large urinary stones. On the day of his appointment the vet advised me that from then on I should be feeding him only one food, and it should be a specialist urinary diet. I started immediately with the S/O Urinary from Royal Canin, and after a month we went in ready for the operation. The vet did an ultrasound and saw that the stones had already started to crumble, and the cat would not need an operation after all! We were delighted. Now we use the moderate calorie version of the food because our Ban already weighs 7.5kg. He's lost a healthy amount of weight and in short for me it's an excellent product. My cat no longer suffers from cystitis and I've saved a lot of money on vet visits and care, so I think it is worth the price!

Perfect
Since Kuro had his operation for kidney problems, the vet recommended that I feed him this and he's had no further problems - would recommend!

Love it
I have two cats, one with FLUTD (Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease), and I've tested several brands to try and help with the problem, until finally my vet pointed this one out. I'm delighted with the results and my cats love it.

Completely solved my cat's urinary problems!
This is really a great product! Despite repeated antibiotic treatments, we could not get rid of my cat's urinary problems. But when we started feeding her these biscuits, the problems disappeared and we've had no relapses! The low calorie version also allowed us to keep his weight down (he's sterilised so it can be tricky!). I'll certainly be recommending it to other people, I'm very satisfied!

Puffy
This food is my saviour! Two years of upset and anguish due to my Puffy's urinary crystals and now with this food it's temporarily solved! But we have to make sure we always stick to the same brand otherwise we'll start the whole adventure again. Poor Puffy!

My Persian male has had kidney problems for a few years and thanks to this food he is now much better. Unlike other food he will also willingly eat this stuff without a problem!

Good product for combatting urinary and kidney problems, even if it is a bit pricey (much cheaper at zooplus though!)
For almost a year we have been feeding this food to one of our cats (neutered male with chronic cystitis). The product is definitely great quality because since we've started using it we've had far fewer urinary problems: he's urinating more regularly and without pain, there's no more blood in his urine, and he's going in his litter box again instead of all round the house (this is common behaviour in cystitis). The price makes zooplus the best option for this food - it's still not cheap but way better than buying it in a store or at the vet! I also have to point out that it seems to taste great, as the cat always gobbles it up. Remember to always keep the water clean and fresh for your cat, especially if your cat has a kidney problem!
