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.

I am Nana, and every morning and evening I beg for this food by barking. I have a built in timer in my head to alert my owners that I need my food! 7 am and 4 pm. I think I make my owners crazy, but I certainly keep them on their toes! They mix the food with the canned version and what a great meal. I can't get enough! Thank you Royal Canin and Chewy.

I was skeptical about paying so much money for a dog food. I always fed my dog a good dog food but she developed issues with bladder stones. She had surgery almost two years ago where the vet removed thousands of stones ranging in size. I decided to just pay the money and feed her the royal Canin. She is doing so much better. I swear by it now. I also buy the treats.

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 dog stopped eating this food half way through the bag. She is not normally a picky eater at all. Not sure what the problem is, but I just ordered the wet food for her. She has never turned that down. I was trying to save a little money by going with the dry food. Oh well!

Our vet ordered this for our pomeranian after being diagnosed with oxalate kidney stones and having to perform surgery to remove them. Since then, our pom has not had any additional kidney problems and it has been over 4 years. She loves the taste and always eats every drop. We would never consider any other brand for our little princess.

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.

My dog would not eat this to save her life. Now her collar is off she has been eating this food. Took six wks for this. If this product ever stops production my PEBBS will get stones again and die.

While I will do everything I can for my pup, this particular food seems bland and unappealing. My dog sometimes refuses to eat it and will wait until she is very hungry.

My little dog had bladder stones again and we changed her food to Royal Canin hard and canned and was very happy to find our they were gone the last visit to my Vet.
