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
• Prolactic treatment/prevention of calcium oxalate stones
• Prolactic 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 /ul>

  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 Diet – 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.
