Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Urinary SO Moderate Calorie Dry Dog Food is a veterinary-exclusive dry dog food developed to nutritionally support your adult dog's urinary tract and bladder health. This formula promotes a urinary environment unfavorable to the formation of both struvite and calcium oxalate crystals. It increases the amount of urine your pet produces to help dilute excess minerals that can cause crystals and stones. Moderate calorie content helps her maintain a healthy weight. Relative Super Saturation (RSS) methodology is used to help lower ion concentration in urine, which contributes to stone formation. Lower urinary tract issues may be a recurring concern for some dogs. Talk to your veterinarian about keeping your canine on this urinary dog food for long-term urinary support.
Key Benefits- A veterinary-exclusive dry food for dogs prone to weight gain with urinary health concerns.
- Helps dissolve pure struvite stones and helps prevent calcium oxalate stones.
- Formulated with a moderate calorie content for ideal weight maintenance.
- Lowers the risk of crystal formation using RSS methodology for bladder health.
- Supports urinary health with an exclusive S/O Index, and creates an environment unfavorable to crystal formation in the bladder.

Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. 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.
| Transition Day | Current Diet | New Diet |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1-2 | 75% | 25% |
| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |

Great (if expensive) food for kidney problems
By Sharol on Jun 3, 2021
My Dachshund had surgery to remove about 1/8 cup of stones from her bladder when she was about 6 years old. She is a mini, so that was a huge amount for a tiny dog. She almost died, and the vet recommended food that would help keep her bladder free of stones. This food has worked for her for several years, and being able to have it delivered was a real Godsend since the nearest source of the food was 50 miles away. Having this on autoship has made my life easier for both me and my two doxys (both have kidney issues, but only one has had surgery). I LOVE autoship

My dog has to have a urinary moderate calorie dog food which I was unable to buy locally because of shipping issues. Chewy checked with my vet to assure this food was prescribed for my dog, then sent my order promptly, which I greatly appreciated!

This food works!!
By Rescuemomof2 on Jun 12, 2021
My girl dog started leaking urine and I brought her to the vet. She was found to have struvite crystals. She has been on this food for about 2 years now. She is doing great. She has not leaked in about a year now. This food is doing its job of helping my sweet Sadie Mae!!

CHEWY is the BEST!!
By Cindy on May 1, 2021
The fastest service and best prices! I would recommend Chewy to everyone. You save money on larger purchases and usually will get free shipping with larger order. I highly recommend Chewy. You can shop around but they will beat every website or local purchase for your pets on pricing and shipping.

New vet prescribed diet for my dog
By LoMaTay on Mar 1, 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!

This food has worked wonders for our dog.(black and tsan coonhound). Our vet recommended after surgery for bladder stones. So far no new stones and she loves the taste.

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.

Velcro and Time
By Kathy on May 28, 2021
I just wish the 17.5 bag was Velcro. It’s so hard to line up the insert just right to close it completely.
