Full details
Royal Canin Canine Urinary S/O in Gravy is a specialized, veterinary-exclusive wet diet formulated for adult dogs suffering from lower urinary tract conditions. It provides the essential benefit of dissolving struvite stones while actively working to prevent the recurrence of both struvite and calcium oxalate crystals. While it is a highly effective clinical tool, it must only be used under the direct guidance and prescription of a veterinarian to ensure it matches the dog's specific medical requirements.

FAQs
Do I need a prescription for this food?

Try warming the gravy slightly or mixing in a small amount of warm water, or consult your vet for a slow, 10-day transition period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When starting your dog on Royal Canin Urinary S/O, follow the transition plan recommended by your veterinarian to avoid digestive upset, typically by mixing it with the previous food over 5-7 days. This product is compatible with adult dogs but is not intended for growth (puppies), gestation, or lactation. Store unopened pouches in a cool, dry place. Once opened, any unused portion should be refrigerated and consumed within 24-48 hours. Always monitor your dog’s weight and overall condition, and return for scheduled follow-up appointments so your veterinarian can monitor urine pH and sediment levels.
