This diet may not be appropriate for every dog and should only be fed under the guidance of a veterinarian. It contains higher sodium levels than traditional diets, so it could cause stomach upset in some dogs.
This delicious wet food helps dissolve struvite urinary crystals and prevent the formation of calcium oxalate stones while simultaneously stimulating urination and decreasing mineral levels in urine.
Sodium content
Royal Canin Urinary SO dog food is designed to help adult dogs maintain optimal urinary health. It creates an unfavorable environment for the formation of struvite and calcium oxalate crystals while decreasing their prevalence by increasing water intake, thus diluting minerals more lowering urine concentration levels, and providing reduced magnesium levels that are often an element in these stones.
This diet has higher sodium levels than traditional diets, encouraging your pet to drink more water and dilute urine to lower urinary stone risk. Veterinarians usually recommend it for dogs who experience frequent urinary problems; however, this food does not treat kidney disease – only dogs who experience repeated urinary issues should consume this diet.
Regular vet visits should be undertaken with any diet designed to manage your dog’s urinary health symptoms to ensure it’s effective at doing its job. This is especially crucial if any noticeable behavioral or physical changes arise within your pup; when their urination habits improve, this strongly indicates that their diet is working. Your veterinarian can conduct tests to confirm its benefits for urinary health management.
Magnesium content
If your dog suffers from urinary tract issues, mineral crystals known as bladder stones could form. Common types include calcium oxalate or struvite crystals; untreated, they can lead to pain and further urinary tract issues. Royal Canin offers the Urinary SO + Satiety Loaf in Sauce diet designed to prevent future formation while dissolving existing ones; its controlled magnesium, sodium, and phosphate content helps promote balanced urine pH balance and may even help dissolve living stones!
This food is specifically formulated to support urinary tract health in adult dogs. Packed with protein and easily digestible carbs to support muscle maintenance and omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants to help immune system health, this loaf format ensures the satisfaction of adult pups!
Though this diet should be safe for most dogs, it should not be introduced as part of their routine if your puppy or pregnant female dog has pancreatitis or heart disease or is sensitive to specific ingredients; always consult a vet first when starting new food regimens for your pet. If they show any sign of intolerance toward certain ingredients it may be better for him/her to try another brand instead.
This dog food contains more sodium than standard kibble, increasing water consumption and diluting excess minerals, contributing to urinary crystal formation and stone formation. Long-term consumption can improve your pet’s risk for hypertension; chewable dental treats should also be provided alongside this diet to prevent plaque buildup and tooth decay.
Feeding instructions
After bladder stones form, veterinarians often suggest feeding your pet a urinary support diet to aid their healing. While typically prescribed to dogs with ongoing urinary tract issues, such as frequent cystitis episodes, this diet can also help prevent future problems.
