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.

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.

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.

Wonderful!!! Dog was diagnosed with bladder stones and we have the option of trying this diet, rather than launching him into surgical solutions. So far, so good....no more problems. Knowing he may have to be on it for some time, we looked everywhere for the best prices, and Chewy was lower BY FAR....I'll keep coming back!!

My 11 year old Yorkie has been on this special diet since he had surgery to remove bladder stones 5 years ago. He is stone free and healthy as he was as a puppy. Thanks Chewy for carrying this food in smaller bags. They are hard to find in the moderate calorie formula. Much appreciated!

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.

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

I have a 11 year old Pug that has had urinary stones in the past and I find this food is the best for her. Chewy has the best price and delivery was quick. Thank you Chewy.
