Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Urinary SO Moderate Calorie Dry Food was developed to nutritionally support urinary tract and bladder health in adult dogs. It dilutes excess minerals that can cause crystals and stones by increasing the amount of urine your dog produces. This diet has moderate calorie content—10% less than Royal Canin Urinary SO dry dog food—so can help your dog maintain a healthy weight. This formula promotes a urinary environment unwelcoming for both struvite and calcium oxalate crystals and can help discourage further urinary issues for your pup.
Key Benefits- Formulated for adult dogs with urinary health issues.
- Dissolves pure struvite stones and helps prevent calcium oxalate stones.
- Contains 10% fewer calories than Royal Canin Canine Urinary SO dry dog food.
- Relative Super Saturation (RSS) methodology is used to help lower ion concentration in urine, which contributes to stone formation.
- Helps with constant trips outside, peeing inside the house and dogs straining to go.

It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new 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.

New vet prescribed diet for my dog
By LoMaTay on Feb 28, 2021
My vet prescribed the Royal Canin Urinary SO Moderate Calorie dog food for my dog who was having urinary issues. I mix the dry dog food in with the Royal Canin Urinary SO Moderate Calorie canned and she loves it. I was concerned about changing to a new canned and dry food since she has been eating another brand for quite some time but she loves it. She likes the new food so well she doesn't seem to miss her treats ("yum-yums") that she can no longer have while on this food. I would highly recommend this food for dogs who are having urinary issues.

Mikey Likes It!
By Mikey on Feb 22, 2021
So does my GSD. He is a picky eater but he loves this stuff. It is designed to keep his urinary track and bladder stone free for the Struvite stones. He recently went through a bad patch and could not pass a stone through the bone in his penis that the urethra passes through. That was an expensive pet bill. The alternative is a specifically designed dog food to minimize the issue. It is worth the money!

IN Stock! & excellent customer service
By AGdoggiemom on Feb 2, 2021
This is a prescription diet ordered by my vet so its necessary and it was out of stock again on our vets food ordering webb site. I was worried and running low on the food when to my surprise it was available on Chewy! I ordered two bags which were delivered within the week. It was a few dollars more on Chewy but the peace of mind was priceless. I had a little trouble setting up my account online but the phone customer service rep was excellent and walked me through to completion.

Ack! Prescription food not available thru my vet any more!
By Nodin on Feb 23, 2021
We have the sweetest little Sheltie who has to eat a prescription diet for kidneys and our local vet (in a small, remote town) stopped carrying it. I was a bit worried about whether or not we would be able to find it but Chewy came thru, helped get it authorized and sent right away. Absolutely recommend always!

Prescribed by Vet
By Mary on Jan 20, 2021
I am sure that this food is doing its job as it was prescribed by the vet after Queenie had her surgery. My dog has not had any issues with her health concern since we starting using this food. I think it smells like medicine, though, and I think my dog does too. It take a lot of coaxing or that she is really really hungry before she eats it. Hi, Royal Canin, can you make this food smell more like steak? No digs to Chewy, its not your problem. We do love Chewy!

Jury's still out
By ssj205 on Jan 27, 2021
Are only serving this food as half of each meal right now to transition to it full-time. Was recommended by vet after she saw evidence of crystal's starting to form in dog's urine (or was it his bladder). So trying this food for a couple months, to then have him retest and see if crystals are gone. So jury's still out. I will say this food is very stinky! But so far dog's digesting it and has no issues eating it.

This food has been great for my dog!!
By Bobbie on Feb 2, 2021
My dog Abby had surgery a year ago for a bladder stone. Her vet prescribed her this food and wow what a difference! We haven’t had any issues and my sweet ten year old girl has her spunk back. I highly recommend to any pet owner looking for a urinating food for their dogs.

Royal Canin
By MLOU on Jan 12, 2021
I bought this dog food as I have a female Pekingese that had bladder stones a couple of years ago, and is now eating this as a prescription. It has worked very well for her, and she’s had no more issues. I normally order from my vet, but their source had a backlog with manufacturer. I was able to order through Chewy and had it within a couple of days. I highly recommend!!

Handles on your boxes
By Crimson on Feb 11, 2021
I love the choices and service I get from chew, but I have A very hard time picking up the boxes once delivered. Maybe you should consider cut out handles on your boxes. Would be a great improvement for your customers.

Smooth Transition
By Samoyedlover on Feb 28, 2021
I have just transitioned my 12-year old Samoyed to this food. He seems more satisfied, and I am pleased that it will benefit him in his senior years. This was a good move for him!
