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 cats, bacterial infections are far less common. Urinary crystals and stones are often linked to this disease. The most common cause of Lower Urinary Tract Disease in cats is idiopathic cystitis. This diet promotes a urinary environment unfavorable to the development of both struvite and calcium oxalate crystals.
Key Benefits- Complete and balanced diet recommended for cats at risk of developing lower urinary tract disease
- 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.
- Increasing the urine volume simultaneously reduces the saturation of urine with calcium oxalate and struvite crystals
- Formula provides nutrition that aids in the management of pure struvite uroliths.
- Reduced level of magnesium, a natural component of struvite stones

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 very frustrated that now I have to buy this food for my cat, who has always eaten high-quality grain free food (Wellness brand mostly). The ingredient list of this food worries me. Lots of by-products and corn flour (?!). The dry food is even worse! But I feel like my hands are tied since my cat has urine crystals, and I obviously don't want her to get kidney stones. The vet said I have to feed her this and nothing else...forever! So I would appreciate it if Royal Canin updated the recipe to reflect what is now widely known about cat nutrition.

My older male cat has frequent UTIs throughout the year. After the vet recommended he be switched to prescription food, I decided to buy a combination of all urinary prescription foods on the market to see which can he likes most. There are a limited amount of formulas to buy but this one is his favorite. So far no issues and hes been on it for a little over a month.

My cat needs prescription food, and normally she eats the Royal Canin Urinary SO hard food. I thought she would love this, but she hates it :( She tried eating a little bit out of desperation when I mixed it in with her hard food one day, and she threw up everywhere. I spent so much money and now I can't use it :(

This food is loved by my Kit. She was suffering with urine crystals and this has helped to bring her back to health. Also, not sure if it is related or not, but she seems to shed much less now! One comment about shipping. I like that it's all well packed but since these are cans, I would appreciate it if you would reduce the amount of cardboard used. It's overboard!

Our cat recently had to undergo surgery for bladder stones (a total suprise to us considering how much we pamper our cats). He drank lots of (purified) water since we have a water fountain, but still ended up with them. It was probably from a previous UTI that we never noticed,but either way he is on an all wet food diet now, this brand amd type specifically. He LOVES this food. He has never eaten wet food so fast, but this type he can't resist. It's so good our other cat refuses to eat her own wet food and now eats his. It may be a bit expensive, but my baby's health comes first. 100% recommend.

Well it's cat food... What can I say? My 2 cats love it. The thing I love about chewy is the order comes so FAST! Other companies I have to wait for them to recertify a prescription order even tho the vet days it's good for 1 year. Not Chewy - they have their act together!

My cat has trouble with crystals and is unable to urinate. In the past when I had to put my cats on special food they would not touch it and unfortunately I lost them at a young age. But from day 1 he ate not only the wet food but also the dry food. And currently he is doing great and is enjoying the food. Would recommend.

One of my cats needed to be on prescription diet food. Since one is on it, both cats are on it. They are both extremely picky. I did not have much hope they would like it. To my surprise they like it well enough. So far my kitty with the urinary issue is doing well. Now if the cost was less expensive it would be a 5 star rating.

Our sweet Riley was frequently suffering from urinary tract infections....usually would happen when he was stressed (lots of stormy weather, or when we go out of town). Our vet recommended this food, and he has never had another UTI!!

Started our cat on this food about two weeks ago. He was getting a different brand of "pate style" wet food, not the chunks in gravy that is in your 3 oz. cans but like the kind in your larger cans. Now we have to mash the chunks and mix in Royal Canin dry food Urinary SO morsels to get him to eat the wet food. Really think you should give customers the option of purchasing the same wet food in both sizes.
