Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Urinary SO Moderate Calorie Dry Cat Food

We have a cat with non-specific cistitis (took him to the vet a number of times for various tests, and while it seems like his condition is cistitis and accompanying urinary tract issues, the vet could not pinpoint exactly what the root of the cause is/why occurring). This product seems to be part of what is giving him some more comfort and fewer trips to the litter box, and the key is that he actually likes and eats it!

I have 5 cats, one of them suffers from IBS and frequent bouts with crystals in his urine. My vet prescribed this and I was concerned because I leave food out for them all the time, they don’t get fed separately, so I thought it would be an issue with him getting into any other food, then my vet told me it was safe for all of my cats who btw are all adults over 5 years of age. They all seem to like it.

This was prescribed by my vet whenever my cat was having issues with kidney stones. I was to feed her this in hopes it would help her so she wouldn't need to have surgery. It worked wonders! Within just a few days she was able to keep food down and her urination was back to normal. She is VERY picky so I was afraid she wouldn't eat it but she showed no hesitation. I kept her on it for about 6 months. That was two years ago now and there has been no sign of recurrence. It was very expensive for me but much cheaper than surgery. Thank goodness it worked!

The kitties stay healthy and literally seem to be more active and playful. I tried some cheaper options and got sad little kitty faces (really.). I cannot lower my household budget by changing to crap. I will not low ball the health of my wonderful cat babies. I will be buying this food for their well being and long happy lives.

I was buying this based on my cat's last vet. But according to a friend, it was not very healthy except for the urinary part. I now buy Wysong Uretic Dry Cat Food and my cat looks and acts far more healthy. And the urinary part is in good order too, he drinks and pees plenty and with no issues. I am very glad I made the change.

My cat loves this! No more urinary issues with this food. There have been straining issues multiples times but only twice did we really have severe urinary infections and blockage before switching to this brand. He does drink more water with this which he didn't before. Add a bit of water and he slurps it up or add some wet food and he's in heaven. My cat is happy and so am I.

Seamus is a 17 pound cat who was quite upset with his diet changes. As a result the other cats eat this now also. Some days they grub, others not so much. I'm not thrilled with the levels in this. But! The chewy.com price is phenomenal and the customer service cannot be beat ! We love chewy !

I have a male cat who has a history of stones, he is very finicky about food he eats so I was leary to order this at first. I purchased the 3 lb bag to see if he would like/eat it, and to my surprise, he ate it! And my other male cat likes it too! Bonus!! Thx Chewy for your cheaper prices and very quick shipping!!

One of my boys was in the emergency room having issues urinating on Christmas Day three years ago. His vet and I discussed many options that included a water fountain, adding water to his wet food and switching his dry food to Royal Canin Urinary SO, which Eugene AND his brother ate happily. Turned out both had urinary crystals, but Henry wasn't symptomatic yet. Long story short, for the type of crystals they had, this diet not only stopped them from forming, but dissolved existing crystals as well. They both loved it so much that they put on weight, for which I received a stern finger shaking a couple months later at their well kitty check up, and we switched to the Moderate Calorie version One of my boys was in the emergency room having issues urinating on Christmas Day three years ago.

Both boys were crystal free at a six-month check up after the switch to SO Moderate, both had lost some of the weight they gained, they chase each other around the house like knuckleheads and Henry tries to open the food jar himself to get at the tasty bits inside. At their next annual visit, they had dropped all the extra weight and the doctor asked how we did it. Lower calories, higher activity, Doc, just like you prescribed! … more

Our vet recommended this food for our cat who has a urinary problem. I didn’t hesitate because it would help our cat but wondered if he would eat it. Also, we free feed our four cats and they all would be eating it. They all love it! The change was easy
