Supporting the urinary system is vital to prevent urinary tract disease escalating into urinary stones such as struvite and calcium oxalate. Royal Canin Urinary S/O products were developed to treat cystitis and urinary stones adjunctively.

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 targets struvite stones.
• Moderate calorie content: helps avoid weight gain in cats who are prone to putting on mass (such as neutered cats, house cats).
• Urine dilution: lowers the concentration of struvite and calcium oxalate in the urine.
• Protects bladder mucosa: using glycosaminoglycan (GAG), a natural part of the bladder mucosa that defends it from attacks by 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.
