Royal Canin Urinary S/O Adult Cat Dry Food is a specialized, prescription-only dry food designed to manage lower urinary tract diseases (LUTD) in adult cats. Its primary function is to dissolve existing struvite stones and prevent the formation of both struvite and calcium oxalate crystals.
Key Benefits & Mechanism
- Struvite Dissolution: Effectively breaks down pure struvite uroliths, typically starting to work within 7–10 days.
- Urine Dilution: Increases urine volume to reduce the concentration of minerals that form stones, helping to flush the bladder regularly.
- Low Magnesium & RSS: Formulated with reduced magnesium (a core component of struvite) and uses Relative Super Saturation (RSS) methodology to create an environment unfavorable for crystal formation.
- S/O Index: The "S/O" stands for Struvite/Oxalate, indicating it targets both common types of urinary stones.
