Dogs suffering from lower urinary tract diseases should have a diet that supports the health of the urinary tract. Diseases of the urinary tract can lead to kidney stones (including struvite and calcium oxalate). ROYAL CANIN URINARY S / O food acts as an adjuvant treatment for cystitis and urolithiasis, helping to dissolve crushed stones and crystals. In addition, this food is suitable as a prophylaxis for urinary stones and the treatment of bacterial cystitis. Royal Canin Veterinary Diet - Urinary S / O LP 18 also helps reduce the value of urinary relative supersaturation (RSS) and counteracts kidney stones. Moreover, the food also causes an increase in the volume of urine.

- Dissolution of crushed crystals / crushed stones

Benefits:
- Dissolved stones: The ingredients in URINARY S / O food help to dissolve the stones.
- Increased urine level: the recipe supports an increase in urine volume, thus reducing the risk of formation of crushed / oxalate stones.
