I believe you're referring to Royal Canines brand of urinary diet SO. In conjunction with appropriate medication SO is a great food to help prevent urinary tract infections. Lulu will likely need to be on this food for the rest of her life. Any changes to a non-urinary diet may trigger a recurrence of crystals or stones. If she does not resolve after a month of anabiotic's and diet, further diagnostic testing such as ultrasound or scoping of the bladder may be necessary to determine the cause of the urinary tract issues. My own dog is on Royal Canin SO and he does great, until my kids feed him the wrong food and then he has a flare up again. So please be sure to feed her only the prescribed diet.

Good luck I hope she's feeling better soon, and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

What can I feed my dog with UTI/crystals if he won't eat special food?

Unfortunately, only these diets will be able to help Luca’s bladder problems. The diet will help acidity the urine and it also causes him to drink more. This helps to prevent crystal formation and also has a flushing action in the bladder. I recommend to try the Royal Canin first. Mix it in VERY slow (like 10% of the food initially). Then every few days increase the amount. You should purchase the canned food to see if he likes that. If he does, you can feed him that mixed in with the dry food. Try to keep him out of the other Doha’s food. The diet will not work if it falls below 90% of the total daily food intake. I hope you find this helpful and please feel free to post any further questions.

My cat won't eat Royal Canin SO for crystals. Are there other options?

I think this is a very good food for treating crystalluria, and there are some differences between this food and urinary foods by other companies like Hill's. One difference that comes to mind is the calorie content - Royal Canin SO tends to be lower in calories than Hill's c/d. You may want to ask your veterinarian about the Royal Canin SO Olfactory attraction food which is supposed to be more palatable for cats, or if Bean really seems to dislike it you could ask about switching to another therapeutic diet. There are no over the counter alternatives that are proven to prevent urinary crystals in cats.

My cat had a UTI. What's the best food to prevent future issues?

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. If Taffy is predisposed to urinary problems / crystals, I would recommend considering a prescription diet such as Hills C/D or Royal Canin Urinary SO. I would also consider a cranberry supplement such as Paxon, which can be found online quite easily. Increasing water intake is also key. A recirculating water fountain and feeding a canned diet can help with this. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be happy to help you further!

My cat had crystals. Which Royal Canin urinary food should I use?

From Royal Canin's website: "This diet is only suitable for healthy adult cats that do not have a urinary issue or a history of urinary problems. This food is not a replacement for a diet prescribed by your veterinarian." If Elbi has already had a urinary problem, I don't recommend considering switching to the urinary care food. Urinary S/O is designed to encourage more drinking, as well as neutralize the pH of the urine - both of those together tend to almost completely eliminate the chances of crystals forming.

My poodle has struvite crystals. What treats are safe with SO diet?

Honestly, this is tricky. Royal Canin's SO diet (which is excellent BTW) works because it neutralizes the urine pH, making it almost impossible for crystals to form, and it also encourages more drinking, which has the same effect. If you feed other foods, you increase the chances of the food not working, and having crystals or stones. I tend to encourage owners to use the kibble as treats, or take the canned food and shape in into "cookies," and bake at a low temperature until hardened. I know it sounds like a bit of work, but dogs like it, and you'll be making sure Ted is getting exactly what he needs to stay healthy.

My cat had a UTI. How long should she stay on SO urinary diet?

I'd check with Lucy's vet, as they will let you know how long she needs to be on it, but it may be beneficial to keep her on it permanently to prevent her from developing further urinary issues. Best of luck.
