This item requires prescription approval. Details
Lower urinary tract disease (LUTD) refers to a group of disorders that commonly leads to irritation of the urinary tract and corresponding undesirable clinical signs.
What causes Lower Urinary Tract Disease? In dogs, bacterial infections of the urinary tract and the presence of stones (uroliths) in the urinary tract are the most common causes. This diet promotes a urinary environment unfavorable to the development of both struvite and calcium oxalate crystals.
Key Benefits- Canine Urinary SO Moderate Calorie is a complete and balanced diet for adult dogs predisposed to weight gain. It is formulated to aid in the nutritional management of calcium oxalate and struvite urolithiasis.
- Moderate calorie content, compared to canine Urinary SO, to help maintain ideal weight.
- Royal Canin Urinary SO Index® promotes a urinary environment unfavorable to the development of both struvite and calcium oxalate crystals
- Increasing the urine volume simultaneously reduces the saturation of urine with calcium oxalate and struvite crystals
- Relative Super Saturation (RSS) methodology predicts the crystallization potential of urine; RSS is used to develop diets that lower the concentration of ions contributing to struvite and calcium oxalate urolithiasis.

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.
How are Royal Canin diets preserved?
All of our dry diets are preserved naturally with mixed tocopherols, citric acid, and rosemary extract. Our canned diets are naturally preserved and sterilized during the cooking and canning process.
Where do the ingredients in Royal Canin diets come from?
We select our ingredients based on multiple factors, including the supplier’s compliance with our quality and food safety requirements, consistent availability, and on the nutrients required to meet the dietary needs of the pet.Royal Canin is making strides towards sustainability by attempting to obtain sources of raw materials as close to each manufacturing facility as possible. In some cases, we use international suppliers, because only those suppliers can offer raw materials that comply with our quality and food safety standards.
Why do some Royal Canin diets contain by-products?
Royal Canin chooses ingredients because they deliver high-quality nutrients that support our customized pet food formulas. Using chicken by-product meal instead of chicken meal for example will allow Royal Canin to maintain its highly customized nutrient standards while achieving a more secure and sustainable supply.

Grains can be a healthy part of any cat or dog’s diet. As always, we focus on the nutrients each ingredient provides and grains can provide many important nutrients.

Sadly it did not work Back in march 2016 my dog was diagnose with bladder stones, wanting instant relief and wanting to know which type of stones we were dealing with I elected that surgery was the best options. The results came back and she had 2 jelly bean size struvite stones, she was then placed on URINARY SO for a year followed by a holistic diet. Fast forward to February 2018 my dog was diagnosed with bladder stones again, believing that those stones were struvites once again we decided to put her back on prescription diet which claims that it will dissolved stones, 6 weeks after that regimen the stones were still there and nothing had changed, my dog underwent another surgery and Sadly it did not work Back in march 2016 my dog was diagnose with bladder stones, wanting instant relief and wanting to know which type of stones we were dealing with I elected that surgery was the best options.

Amazing product. My 10-year-old Jack Russell went from a reserved lady back to an out of control puppy. Never a boring moment with her. She only wants to relax when the sun is beaming on her. I'm going to continue to give her this food. Oh, and for the first 2 weeks, she needed to go to the restroom almost every other hour because it made her drink around 40 oz of water a day.Then her body started getting used to it and that slowed down a bit, And I started implementing boil chicken with her food so she wouldn't lose too much weight from drinking so much water. This product has given my baby her joy back.

The vet put our older dog on the canned to eliminate urinary stones. The canned requires you to micro wave for 15 seconds to make it most palatable . Because of upcoming boarding we needed to go to dry. I have been mixing with the moist and he gulps it down. Both are great products but when necessary the dry is more convenient.

My dog has been on this food for almost 9 years. She had to have surgery when she was less than 2 for stones. This food has helped turn her around and we haven't had another trip to the vet for that problem. I do wish they had a lower calorie version. I'm able to get a much larger bag from Chewy for a much better price.

I wasn't so sure I wanted to feed my dog this food based on some things I had read regarding the ingredients. However, since I have put her on it, she has gotten extremely better with her urination issues. She had a pretty bad infection where she passed rather large stones and was on two rounds of clavemoxx along with switching to this food. She is still having a little leaking here and there (vet said there could be a few things, and just monitor it and come back for a followup) but no more stones, no blood in her urine and she urinates less frequently. She has been off the antibiotics for a while now and the food is helping maintain her bladder health along with the fact that her tear stains I wasn't so sure I wanted to feed my dog this food based on some things I had read regarding the ingredients.

A lot of people are concerned about their pet gaining weight on it, but she has actually lost 2 pounds. We are on a pretty strict diet of no people food and only medicated dog food or treats, so her caloric intake has probably come down. It does have a pretty potent smell to it, but you get used to that. … more
