Royal Canin VHN Feline Urinary S/O

Royal Canin Feline Urinary S/O has been created by experts to relieve the pain and symptoms of lower urinary tract disease.

How it works

When your pet's suffering from a health issue, it's important that they get all the nutrients they need. This is a complete food that ensures your cat has everything he or she needs to stay healthy, as well as providing some extra support for their urinary tract and bladder.

Bladder stones can be particularly distressing for your pet; this food is made with ingredients which acidify urine to help dissolve stones and make it less likely that they'll come back. To help with this, Feline Urinary S/O also contains reduced levels of magnesium, which is one of the main components of bladder stones. The food also dilutes your cat's urine, meaning that it's more difficult for crystals to form. Glycosaminoglycans, naturally present in healthy bladders, help with any pain or inflammation in your cat's bladder, keeping them relaxed and happy.

Key benefits

• High moisture content increases urine dilution
• Helps dissolve all types of struvite stones
• Helps lower the concentration of ions contributing to crystal formation
• Urine dilution makes the urine less liable to form struvite and calcium oxalate stones
• 85g pouches

Lower urinary tract diseases can be serious, but luckily the signs are easy to spot. You might notice that your cat's urinating more often than usual, seems uncomfortable when urinating, or that his or her urine contains blood. There are a few different issues that can cause symptoms, like bladder inflammation or stones in either the bladder or urinary tract, so it's important to get your cat to the vet as soon as possible for a diagnosis.

As far as prevention is concerned, urinary tract disease can occur in any cat, but risk factors you can look out for include being overweight, not drinking enough and stress. If your cat does develop an issue, your vet might prescribe anti-inflammatory medication as well as recommending a specialised food such as this one.

Because veterinary diets are formulated for the nutritional support of pets with specific clinical conditions, we recommend that you only use them under professional advice. For more information on feeding Royal Canin Feline Urinary S/O to your cat, please consult your veterinary surgeon.
