Royal Canin Veterinary Dog - Urinary S/O Small Dog is a balanced dry food created for small breed adult dogs who suffer from urinary stones. Its carefully selected recipe helps to combat the buildup of harmful crystals in the urinary system. 

The dry kibble contains a moderate amount of protein from high quality sources as well as a lowered magnesium content. This combination produces a larger quantity of more acidic urine, which lowers the risk of new urinary stones being created. It can also help to remove pre-existing urinary stones or crystals. 

The dietetic food features active ingredients to combat tartar prophylaxis by binding valuable calcium in the saliva. Left unchecked, this can increase the buildup of tartar. 

Indications:

• Struvite stones: helps remove them and prevent reoccurrence
• Calcium oxalate stones: helps prevent reoccurrence
• Bacterial cystitis: deals with secondary stones from struvite crystalluria (combined with appropriate antibiotic treatment)

Contraindications: 

• Chronic kidney disease
• Heart disease (if aiming for sodium restriction)
• Combined with urine-acidifying medicine
• Growing, pregnant or lactating dogs
