Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Urinary SO Moderate Calorie Dry Food was developed to nutritionally support urinary tract and bladder health in adult cats. It dilutes excess minerals that can cause crystals and stones by increasing the amount of urine your cat produces. This diet has moderate calorie content—9% less than Royal Canin Urinary SO dry cat food—and helps your cat maintain a healthy weight. This formula promotes a urinary environment unfavorable to the formation of both struvite and calcium oxalate crystals to get your cat back to urinary tract health.
Key Benefits- Formulated for adult cats with urinary health issues.
- Dissolves pure struvite stones and helps prevent calcium oxalate stones.
- Relative Super Saturation (RSS) methodology is used to help lower ion concentration in urine, which contributes to stone formation.
- Contains 9% fewer calories than Royal Canin Canine Urinary SO dry cat food.
- Helps with peeing outside the litterbox and cats straining to go.

It is recommended that your cat be fed 2 - 4 equal portions of the diet per day.
Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Cats will often refuse mixed diets, so we recommend adding the new food to a separate bowl from the old food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.
| Transition Day | Current Diet | New Diet |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1-2 | 75% | 25% |
| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |
| Day 7 | 0% | 100% |

Well worth it!!!! I give it 5 stars!!!!
By KittyLover on Oct 21, 2020
My Kitty's have had issues with UTI and at first I didn't want to spend this much money BUT I did because I love my Kitty's! NO MORE PROBLEMS with UTI and also it seems to fill them up more then the other kind of food I was feeding them. And they have not had any hair balls ever sense they have been eating this food. I am so happy with this food it has been worth every penny for my babys : )

My picky girl actually will eat this!
By BethanyS on Oct 5, 2020
my car has had urinary problems. Bc her and the dog got into once. And she had some problems. And she's anemic. Ever since I started her on this we haven't had any urinary blocks or problems. This is a life saver and a money saver bc we can skip the trip to the vet!! 10 outta 10 would recommend

This stuff really works
By Hawkbait on Sep 20, 2020
Have 4 cats that are inside/outside. Was taking my favorite to vet for UI every 6wks. Resisted this recommended food for awhile cause it is spendy. Finally realized I had to try it and no UI issues for nearly 2 yrs. Chewy is cheapest place for me to get it and- yes - it works to control UI problems.

Has kept his Urinary Vet visits at bay completely!
By DreadPiratePucksMom on Aug 6, 2020
Puck is a rescue, with an attitude, he adores are son so the whole family graciously puts up with him but that's another topic. He has been a more needy cat medically than I have had in the past and has required multiple bouts of medication and vet visits to address urinary issues. Our vet wanted him on this and initially I was reluctant but then caved and I am so happy I did. This is entirely eliminated his urinary problems in full and he has not had to go to vet in this regard or further needed any Rx meds filled. It's really amazing and he loves it. I feed him the dry and keep him ultra hydrated with multiple fresh water bowls around the house. He did not like the pate canned formula but did Puck is a rescue, with an attitude, he adores are son so the whole family graciously puts up with him but that's another topic.

I keep the morsel version around as a boost to him when we are out of town and I have a pet sitter taking care of him. Just a little more water content when his routine is off because we are gone. Good product that I highly recommend. … more

Chewy is great
By Reba on Sep 18, 2020
I think Chewy is the best. My cat was very sick and over weight and the food prescribed by the vet hp would gag him and he would throw it up, they helped me so much with different kinds of foods that would help him, he is eating his wet and dry

Cat enjoys it and hasn't seem to have had any kidney stones while on it.
By Mike on Aug 21, 2020
Cat enjoys it and hasn't seem to have had any kidney stones while on it. However the food seems very dry compared to other Royal Canin Foods, and I'm not very impressed with the ingredients and the price. Definitely paying for the "vet" diet.

Surprised how great this was
By kcarter on Aug 22, 2020
When my vet prescribed this for my young boy I thought “great! I bet he’s gonna hate it” boy was I wrong. He will even eat that instead of his wet food, and Moms happy because I know it’s good for him.

Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Urinary SO Moderate Calorie Dry Cat Food
By Kat62 on May 29, 2020
Murphy likes his new Urinary Royal Canin to a point :-) He prefers his Royal Canin Dental Oral dry food, but will eat both thank goodness. My vet had given me a different brand which he wouldn't eat. She gave me a refund and a script for Royal Canin at my request. I love Royal Canin dry foods. They are more expensive but you get what you pay for. And with Auto Ship by Chewy, you can get 5% off. Also, Chewy's packaging is the best! I've ordered elsewhere and the packaging is falling apart. Thanks Chewy!

Thank you for the smaller bags!
By Jams on Jun 12, 2020
I have only been able to buy this cat food in larger bags from my Vet. I would end up throwing half of it out even though I kept in sealed in bag and a container. It doesn't stay as fresh. The smaller bags were the answer! So grateful that Chewy offers this product in small bags. And wow..such fast service!
