These are diseases of the ureters, bladder or urethra. A major cause of urinary problems is the formation of bladder stones. If your dog is suffering from bladder stones, your vet will usually prescribe a special diet and\/or medication, as well as provide care advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRoyal Canin Urinary S\/O:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoyal Canin has developed a method that makes it possible to determine the S\/O Index of a nutritional food. The S\/O Index is based on the acidity (pH) of the urine, the urine volume, and the concentration of the different components in the urine that can cause stones to form. The low S\/O index of Royal Canin Urinary S\/O dissolves struvite stones, and prevent both struvite and calcium oxalate stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoyal Canin Urinary S\/O effectively dissolves struvite thanks to its special composition. In addition, the formation of struvite crystals (fewer available phosphate ions required for the formation of struvite) is limited, along with the formation of urinary calculi and bacteria. An increase in urine volume is caused by a slightly increased sodium content (which allows for increased moisture absorption), which limits the formation of the two most common stones (struvite and calcium oxalate).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWet food\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWet food leads to an even greater volume of urine: an extra benefit for dogs with urinary stones. Due to the higher moisture content, the energy content is lower, which makes it suitable for dogs with a tendency to be overweight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eUses:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacterial cystitis (bladder infection)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDissolving struvite stones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevention of recurring urinary tract stones (struvite and calcium oxalate).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: In older animals it is recommended that the renal function is monitored regularly by your veterinarian, even before the first use (due to the slightly increased sodium content).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDo not use with:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePuppies or pregnant \/ lactacting dogs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs with chronic kidney disease\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetabolic acidosis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeart failure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs that take urine acidifying medication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs with pancreatitis or a history of the condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs with hyperlipidaemia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is recommended that the renal function in older animals is monitored regularly by your veterinarian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAdvice:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to dissolve the struvite stones and fully treat urinary tract infections (in conjunction with antibiotics), the dog must be given the food for at least 5 to 12 weeks.
