Urinary S/O Dog

Royal Canin URINARY S/O

ROYAL CANIN® Urinary S/O supports your dog's urinary health.

ROYAL CANIN® Urinary S/O is a balanced and nutritious formula specially formulated to help dogs with urinary problems such as struvite crystals and stones.

Scope of ROYAL CANIN URINARY S/O:

• Struvite urolithiasis: dissolution and prophylaxis
• Calcium oxalate urolithiasis: prophylaxis
• Bacterial cystitis: Management of secondary struvite crystalluria (in conjunction with adequate antibacterial therapy)

Not suitable for:

• Chronic Renal insufficiency
• Heart disease (with recommended sodium restriction)
• Use of uric acidifying substances
• Growth, pregnancy and lactation

ROYAL CANIN URINARY S/O has the following objectives:

• moderately acidify the urine (pH 5.8 - 6.2) to prevent and dissolve struvite stones without increasing the risk of calcium oxalate formation
• controlled levels of certain minerals to undersaturate the urine with urinary calculi (prophylaxis of struvite and calcium oxalate stones)
• to increase the daily urine volume (prophylaxis of struvite and calcium oxalate stone formation)
  

The mode of action of ROYAL CANIN URINARY S/O:

Dissolution of struvite
The mixture of nutrients contained in this formula helps to dissolve struvite crystals and stones that can form in the bladder.

Low RSS value
This formula has a low RSS value (relative supersaturation). This reduces the concentration of ions and prevents the formation of urinary stones.

Urine dilution
This food dilutes your dog's urine, which makes the formation of struvite and calcium oxalate stones more difficult.
Low magnesium content
This formula contains less magnesium - a natural component of struvite stones.

S/O Index
This food also creates a urinary environment that makes the formation of struvite and calcium oxalate stones more difficult.

Important note
This product is a veterinary diet from the ROYAL CANIN® Veterinary Health Nutrition range. It is therefore important that the food is only fed on the recommendation of a veterinary surgeon. This will ensure that your pet receives exactly the food it really needs.

A change in diet should be made carefully and gradually over a period of 7-10 days. Pay attention to the correct portion size - especially with mixed feeding.

Mixed feeding possible
To meet the individual preferences of all dogs, ROYAL CANIN® Urinary S/O is also available as a wet food with fine pieces in gravy or with a soft mousse texture. Mixed feeding gives the food different consistencies, which can stimulate the appetite. Wet food has a more intense flavor and its moisture content helps to regulate the animal's water balance. Dry food, on the other hand, is easier to ingest and good for the teeth.
