This item requires prescription approval. Details
Cystine stones (uroliths) occur when an inherited defect of the kidneys causes a build up of cystine in the dog’s urine. Cystine is an amino acid that is filtered and reabsorbed by the kidneys. The build up of this amino acid in the urine leads to the formation of cystine stones. Certain breeds are more affected than others by cystine urolithiasis. These include English Bulldogs, Newfoundlands, Dachshunds, Chihuahuas, and Mastiffs. Mixed breed dogs with the ancestry of these genetically susceptible breeds can also be affected.
Key Benefits- Canine Urinary UC Low Purine is a highly digestible, palatable, complete and balanced adult dog food formulated to meet the nutritional needs of adult dogs prone to urate, cysteine and xanthine urolithiasis.
- Low purine proteins combined with the production of alkaline urine help reduce the risk of urate stones
- Contains moderate quantities of high quality proteins and controlled methionine and cysteine levels
- Formula increases the urine volume to simultaneously reduce the saturation of urine with struvite and calcium oxalate precursors.
- Enhanced levels of linoleic acid, zinc, and biotin help to promote a healthy skin and shiny coat

We recommend at least a 7 day transition before you begin feeding the new food exclusively. Start by mixing 75% of the old diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the old diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the old diet with 75% of the new diet. On the 7th day, you can feed the new food exclusively. This allows your pet’s digestive system to smoothly adapt to the new food.

I started my French bulldog on this food recently because he is 1.5years old and just had cysteine bladder stones removed. The vet said he has a genetic trait that doesn't allow him to convert uric acid, therefore food high in purines are bad for him. I am hoping this formula will work, I was told to get UD food, this one is UC but Hill Science UD ingredients did not impress me. I plan to test his urine and take him in to check his progress on this food. More info to come later. He likes it though, so that's a plus.

First time we ordered this food last year I dog went 4 days without eating. Would not touch it. We had to pay Cornell University Animal Hospital to make a diet for our dog that we had to cook 3 times a day. This time we had to go out of town for more then 9 days and no area kennel or animal hospital boarding would cook the food the last 2 days(we could bring meals we made for the first 7 days for them to feed him). We had to order this food for him to eat. Now or English Mastiff eats this food daily with no problem at all. I'm so greatful for CHEWY.com and their WONDERFUL customer service! We are now on automatic ship for his food.

When Brutus suffered from bladder stones and had to go on a special diet, I was concerned. However, since day 1 he loves his new food!

Royal Canin Urinary UC works wonders! Chip loves it! Chip has been on this diet over a month now and seems to be working flawlessly. No more urinary problems for Chip! He can now urinate freely without pain or problems...Chewy’s ability to obtain this product was the quickest and easiest. All other options to obtain this special diet would have taken 5-7 days, Chewy had it at my door within two days with free shipping. Chewy’s service is very dependable and superior to others. I will definitely use your services again.

He seems to enjoy the taste, so that is a big hurdle avoided, he eats it right up. And a HUGE thank you to Chewy.com. Your staff is AMAZING!!!

Due to our Doberman, Jasper, having to have surgery to remove cystine stones from his bladder we needed to put him on something to help prevent them from coming back. He likes this food, but only time will tell if it works. Fingers crossed this does the trick.

This dog food keeps my dog alive. He had really bad kidney stones that blocked his urine. After the operation several years ago he has had no recurrence.

Our pup loooves this food! We had to put him on it after some bladder stone issues. He does eat more than it says to feed him though. He's still hungry after his serving and because he does not have obesity issues we do feed him more. I estimate that this bag will last about 3 weeks for our 95lb pup.

My dog was put on this food by our Veterinarian, after having emergency surgery to remove stones that were blocking his ability to urinate. After sending the stones in to be tested, they were found to be a special type of stone that most mixed breed dogs are prone to. After starting him on this food, he has had no issues! This food really saved my best friend.
