These are diseases that occur in the ureters, the bladder,\n    or the urethra. A major cause of urinary tract problems is the formation of bladder stones. Smaller dogs produce a\n    more concentrated urine and urinate less often than large dogs. As a result, small dogs have a higher risk of\n    bladder stones. If your dog is suffering from bladder stones, your vet will usually prescribe a special diet and\/or\n    medication, as well as provide advice for general care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch2\u003eRoyal Canin Urinary S\/O Small Dog\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eRoyal Canin has developed a method which makes it possible to determine the S\/O Index of a diet. The S\/O Index is\n    based on the acidity (pH) of the urine, the urine volume, and the concentration of different components in the urine\n    which can form stones. Thanks to the low S\/O Index of Royal Canin Urinary S\/O Small Dog, there is a lower risk of\n    developing struvite and calcium oxalate stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eSpecial pellet size for small dogs up to 10 kg, making it easy to eat and digest. Small dogs have more problems\n    with tartar formation. Royal Canin Urinary S\/O Small Dog contains sodium polyphosphate to reduce the formation of\n    tartar. Thanks to its special composition, it can effectively dissolve struvite stones in the body. In addition,\n    acidifying the urine can reduce the occurrence of struvite crystals (fewer available phosphate ions required for\n    struvite formation) and the formation of bladder stones and bacteria. The increase in the urine volume is caused by\n    a slightly increased sodium content (allows for increased moisture absorption), so that the formation of the two\n    most common stones (struvite and calcium oxalate) is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch2\u003eRecommended for\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\u003ePreventing recurrent formation of urinary tract stones (struvite and calcium oxalate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note!:\u003c\/strong\u003e In older animals, it is important to have renal function checked by your veterinarian prior to\n    first use (in relation to slightly increased sodium content).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch2\u003eNot suitable for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eRoyal Canin Urinary S\/O Small Dog is not suitable for puppies and pregnant or lactating bitches, or dogs\n    suffering from chronic kidney disease, metabolic acidosis, heart failure, taking urine acidifying medication, dogs\n    with (a history of) pancreatitis or hyperlipidaemia.
