Royal Canin Veterinary - Urinary S/O Moderate Calorie

A complete dietetic dry cat food with urine acidifying properties, low magnesium levels and a moderate calorie content. It can help dissolve struvite stones and reduce recurrence. For adult cats.

If your cat suffers from lower urinary tract disease you can help by feeding it a diet which provides optimal nutritional support for its urinary system. Urinary tract disease can lead to urinary stones (including struvite and calcium oxalate). Royal Canin Urinary S/O products were developed as an adjunctive treatment for cystitis and urinary stones.



Indications:

• Dissolution of struvite uroliths
• Prophylactic treatment/prevention of calcium oxalate stones
• Prophylactic treatment/ prevention of struvite stones

Contraindications:

• Chronic renal failure, metabolic acidosis
• Heart failure
• Hypertension
• Pregnancy, lactation, kittens
• Parallel use of urine acidifying medication

Key benefits:

• Struvite dissolution: Urinary S/O helps to dissolve struvite stones.
• Moderate calorie content: The reduced calorie content makes it easier to limit weight gain in cats with a tendency to obesity (neutered cats, house cats).
• Urine dilution: Diluting the urine decreases the urinary concentration of struvite and calcium oxalate.
• Protecting bladder mucosa: Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) is a natural part of the bladder mucosa and protects against bacteria and toxins.

Changing your pet's diet and length of treatment:

Your pet will need to stay on this diet for 5 to 12 weeks, or until the stones are dissolved. It is advisable to feed this diet for a further 6 months to prevent a recurrence. Once your pet is better (urine test) it can be fed with Royal Canin Veterinary – Obesity Management or Satiety Support, if it is overweight. Alternatively, if your cat has been neutered and is already maintaining its ideal weight, it can be fed with a product from the Royal Canin – Neutered range.

Further information:

Please ensure that during its illness your pet is fed only with Royal Canin Veterinary - Urinary S/O Moderate Calorie UMC 34, otherwise the effectiveness of this product may be reduced. Urinary S/O wet cat food is recommended if your pet suffers with recurring idiopathic cystitis.
