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.
This product requires a veterinary prescription. Simply provide your vet's information during checkout and we'll follow up to confirm the prescription, or email a copy of your prescription to vetdiet@chewy.com and we'll get your order out right away.

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.

When my dogs vet prescribed this food I was less than thrilled. The ingredients were quite a change from the grain free high end food she had been eating, but we tried it and we both couldn’t be happier! My dog was getting UTI’s about every 3 weeks and her urine always tested positive for crystals. Since starting this food she has not had one UTI in two years. Overall very happy, but there are two downsides to this food. One - it absolutely reeks! It literally makes me nauseous. Two - even with feeding less than the recommended amount and moderate calorie, I still have a very hard time keeping weight off my active lab.

My Labrador had crystals in her urine. We tried other prescriptions food and increased water intake which didn't resolve her issue. Finally put her on this food for 6 months with two urine tests coming back clear. Glad I'm able to buy this from Chewy for a better price than the store, because it's expensive and she will need to be on it permanently.

Started my Malte-Tzu on the small breed type of this originally after her surgery for struvite stones, but after checking the size of the kibble of the standard dry chow, switched to that for a bit lower price, and she still loves it. You may have a different outcome with your own dog, so check with your vet for a recommendation.

Munch, who is a picky eater, loves this dog food. I was afraid that he would turn his nose up at it, especially since he is prone to bladder stones, but he didn't. After his first bladder stone surgery I was buying this at the vet's office and he remained stone free for 4 years. After he has a growth in his bladder, (more surgery) the vet said the latest info was to just change his dog food after each bag and that would prevent stones. Weellllllll.... one year later, bladder stones and surgery AGAIN!! Now I will keep Munch on this food regardless of what the "latest" information says. Chewy is less expensive than the vet's office and specialty pet stores, I don't have to drive 18 miles one way Munch, who is a picky eater, loves this dog food.

Wasn’t sure if the kibble would be small enough for my 2 Morkie’s (Charlie & Carli) and my malti-poo (Joey Allen) but they had no problem eating. They love it!!

My 12 year old female Chihuahua has always been a picky eater. Somewhere in time she developed 9 stones in her bladder. I have always had my furbaby on high quality dog food but never had she taken to eating it like she has the Urinary SO. Not sure what caused her stones but I know this dog food not only will it help reduce the risk of developing future stones and or surgeries for the same problem, it's meets her taste buds as she will eat every morsel on her plate at one sitting. Very very pleased with this product.

My 3 yr old dog Chance is a Pug/jack Russell mix. Two weeks ago he was having trouble with urination. I took him to the vet and x-ray showed crystals in his bladder. The vet recommended Hills Urinary Care dry food. He enjoyed the wet food, but not their dry food. I took the dry food back to my vet for a refund. I then decided to try him on Royal Canin brand. He absolutely loves it and he feels so much better. Chance is back to being a playful pup. Chases my cat Sophie all around the house. Thank you Royal Canin for making my dog happy again.

My 10 year old Morkie-poo had bladder stone surgery when he was about 5 or 6. He has been eating this food everyday since his surgery and hasn't had a single stone! Also, as a plus, he LOVES the food and eats it the second we put it in his bowl. We use the moderate calorie version because he has recently started putting on some weight since he's starting to slow down and he likes it just the same.

My vet recommended this food for my dog. My dog is a pug female. She had a urinary tract infection and so I took her in to the vet. She was peeing blood and they took an X-ray. Minnow had 5 rather large bladder stones. On the day I was supposed to take her in for surgery to remove the stones my vet recommended we could try this food for a few weeks and the stones may possibly dissolve. I decided not to have the surgery and what a great decision that was. 3 weeks later, another X-ray and the stones were visibly smaller. 6 weeks total the stones were completely GONE!!! I REPEAT.... GONE!!! 5 large stones dissolved in 6 weeks using this food. Keep in mind it was one of the hardest things I ever My vet recommended this food for my dog. My dog is a pug female.
