FAQs
Is this food suitable for all cats?
No, this food is specifically formulated for cats with lower urinary tract issues and should only be used under veterinary supervision. It is not a preventative measure for cats without existing urinary problems.
Can I feed this to my kitten?
No, this food is designed for adult cats. Kittens have different nutritional needs. Consult your vet for the appropriate diet for your kitten.
How long should my cat stay on this diet?
The duration of the diet depends on your cat's condition and your vet's recommendations. Some cats may need to stay on this diet long-term.
Can I mix this food with other foods?
You can mix it with other Royal Canin Veterinary diets under the supervision of your veterinarian. Always consult your vet before mixing foods.
What if my cat doesn't drink enough water?
Ensure fresh water is always available. The wet food helps increase water intake. If your cat still doesn't drink enough, talk to your vet about other strategies.
How should I store the wet food pouches?
Unopened pouches should be stored in a cool, dry place. Once opened, refrigerate any unused portion and use it within 48 hours.
Does this food help with all types of urinary stones?
This food is effective against struvite and calcium oxalate stones. However, it is essential to have your vet determine the type of stones your cat has before starting this diet.
Troubleshooting
Cat refuses to eat the food.
Mix a small amount of the new food with the old food to gradually introduce the new diet. Warming the food slightly can also increase palatability.
Cat shows signs of digestive upset.
If your cat experiences digestive issues like vomiting or diarrhea, consult your veterinarian. These symptoms could indicate an intolerance or the need to adjust the feeding amount.
Urinary symptoms persist.
If urinary symptoms continue despite using the food, contact your vet immediately. The dosage or food may need adjustment, or the underlying condition may be different than initially assessed.
