Royal Canin Urinary S/O: How It Saves Cats from Surgery
If your vet has handed you a prescription for Royal Canin Urinary S/O, don't panic. This bag of food is a lifesaver.
Urinary blockages (stones) are the #1 killer of male indoor cats in Bangladesh. Surgery to remove them is expensive and risky. This food is the "medical alternative."
How Does It Work?
It uses a technology called RSS (Relative Super Saturation).
1. Dissolves Stones (Struvite)
Think of it like putting salt in water. If there is too much salt, it forms crystals. Royal Canin Urinary dilutes the cat's urine, making it impossible for crystals to form, and actively dissolves existing Struvite stones over 5 to 12 weeks.
2. Acidifies Urine
Stones love alkaline urine. This food lowers the pH of the urine, creating an environment where bacteria and crystals cannot survive.
3. Increases Thirst
You might notice your cat drinking more water on this food. That is intentional! More water = more peeing = flushing out the bladder.
Important Warning
-
Prescription Only: Do not feed this to a healthy cat or a kitten. It is medicine in food form.
-
No Mixing: Do not mix this with "normal" food. If you mix it, you change the pH balance, and the medicine won't work.
Summary
If your cat is prone to blockages, Royal Canin Urinary is the best insurance policy you can buy.
