Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Urinary SO Loaf In Sauce Canned Cat Food

My 4yo male cat has developed urinary issues. He used to be really into kibble before (he was on it almost certainly before I got him and when we lived in a multi-cat household), which I think has been a major contributor. Once we moved out on our own about a year and a half ago, I switched him to strictly wet food and got him the very best I could find out in the canned food world. Unfortunately, he wasn't crazy about any of it, none of it. Getting him to eat was WW3. Then he ended up obstructed and the vet recommended Royal Canin Urinary SO post-catheterization. He has been gobbling it up! As soon as I brought him back home and put half a can in his plate, before I could get the little garnishes My 4yo male cat has developed urinary issues.

It was wild. Definitely would recommend, but obviously, every cat is different and a lot of this is trial and error. My experience thus far has been great! … more

Sigh. I recently had to switch to a s/o diet to help with crystals in my cats urine. Everyone I talked to, most of whom are vets, highly recommended this brand. I bought a case from Chewy, and per usual, arrived quickly. My already kinda picky cat refused to eat it. I believe this is due to that the food doesn’t have an enticing smell or flavors. I gave it three stars because of the lack of flavors and the fact Chewy has one of the best customer services and return policies - not because the food is terrible, as I am sure it works for other kitties

This stuff keeps getting more and more expensive, but of all the urinary SO varieties offered and compared to other brands of non-prescription food, at least these cans are FULL. They are solid and they waste no weight with excessive water. What you get in these cans is genuinely a majority protein and food. As for them doing what they say, I can't say they don't. My cats have been on this food for years since the first episode of urinary crystals happened and haven't had an issue since. Price is my only gripe.

My kitty does not like the smell of this food at all and neither do I. I keep it in stock because sometimes he'll eat a little and I want him to have the moisture. He doesn't drink enough and gets constipated and I have to hand water him or give Lactalose or anti hairball grease to help him. I gave some of this to our stray that my cat didn't want and the next morning the dish had dirt all over it. Strayette tried to bury the food! HA! * If you have to feed your cat with a syringe, this food is fine enough to work well. Just mix with a tiny bit of warm water and stir well before loading the syringe.

This food is not what I was expecting. There isn’t a sauce at all regardless of the “loaf in sauce” flavor listed. It’s a gel and even then it’s such a tiny amount that it doesn’t mix into the entire can of food and the food dries out and gets hard within a few hours. It then has the most awful smell I’ve ever smelt with cat food and my cat won’t even go near it. Such a waste of money and this food is stupid expensive, especially for a brand with no variety for cats with health issues. I wish Royal Canine made more flavors for this prescription food because my cat does get food- bored very easily. Very disappointed with this food.

I recently needed to switch to Urinary SO as one of my cats experienced a blockage. At first, I bought the morsels which they really liked. Only problem is that I have a skinny older cat (not the one with the blockage) who was only eating the sauce and none of the morsels. So, I decided to switch to the loaf to make sure the little one is getting enough nutrients. They both love it and are eating well. Thanks Royal Canin and Chewy for keeping my cats healthy and happy!

I have yet to find a urinary SO wet food my four cats will eat. Only one has an issue, and he won't go near this brand or others. The one cat who does eat it pretty much eats anything. Even she is not overly enthusiastic. I don't understand why prescription foods can't be made more palatable for cats who need them. I buy the food and throw it away. Hopefully someday someone will develop a great tasting healthy wet food for cats with SO and XO crystals.

With three cats who have all had bladder stones, we now will ONLY use Royal Canin Urinary SO as recommended by all of our vetrinarians. Do be careful with quantity, as this food is a bit high in calories. Good news, there is a moderate calorie formula!!

Great for cats who like Pate style food! I got this food and my cat took to it right away. I tried another brand of Urinary SO, but he refused to eat it. I add water to it because of his Struvite stones and he laps up the food and juice. Today was the first day, he peed without Prozasin medicine that relaxes the urethra. (he was on 2 pills a day for 9 days) I'm hoping the PH will help with the stones.I made the mistake of feeding my male cat homemade food made from chicken broth and fish. Fish has too much magnesium and most chicken broth has onion and garlic flavors added to it. Cats can not have any food with onion or garlic ingredients!

They are all nearly 15 and set in their ways and prefer fishy flavored foods over chicken. Since they eat only urinary specific formulas thought one I hadn’t tried might appeal to them. I don’t feed it every day and slip it in a few times a week and sprinkle it with their usual FortiFlora so they recognize that as somewhat acceptable. Quality wise and nutritionally Royal Canin gets high marks from me, palatability gets only average marks from them! So if your kitty isn’t hooked on the stronger smelling fishy foods, this could work just fine for you.
