Product Information
Full details
The Royal Canin Urinary S/O Loaf is a veterinary-exclusive diet specifically formulated for adult cats struggling with lower urinary tract concerns, such as struvite bladder stones. By prioritizing high moisture intake and a controlled mineral balance, this wet food promotes a healthy urinary environment and helps dissolve existing struvite crystals, though it should only be fed under the direct supervision and guidance of your veterinarian.

FAQs
Do I need a prescription to buy this food?
Yes, Royal Canin Urinary S/O is a veterinary-exclusive diet and requires a prescription from your veterinarian.
Can I feed this to my kitten?
This formula is specifically formulated for adult cats. Please consult your veterinarian for appropriate kitten-specific urinary support.
How long does my cat need to stay on this diet?
The duration depends on your cat's specific condition and stone type. Your veterinarian will determine the length of time based on follow-up urinalysis and imaging.
Does this food help with calcium oxalate stones?
Urinary S/O is designed for struvite stones; you must consult your vet to ensure this is the correct diet for the specific type of stones your cat has.
Can I mix this with dry food?
Only if your veterinarian has prescribed both the wet and dry versions of the Urinary S/O line, as they are formulated to work together.
Troubleshooting
Cat refuses to eat the new food
Try warming the loaf slightly to enhance its aroma or mix it with a small amount of warm water, but consult your vet if your cat continues to refuse food for more than 24 hours.
Digestive upset during transition
Slow down the transition process by adding a smaller percentage of the new food to the current diet for a few extra days.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To transition your cat onto Royal Canin Urinary S/O, follow your veterinarian's recommended schedule—usually a gradual mix of the new food with the old over 5 to 7 days. Store the pouches in a cool, dry place. Once a pouch is opened, it should be served immediately; any uneaten portion should be refrigerated and discarded if not consumed within 24 hours. Because this is a medical diet, do not combine it with other cat foods unless explicitly permitted by your vet, as mixing diets can alter the precise mineral balance designed to dissolve stones.
