Royal Canin Urinary for Cats is a dry food specifically formulated to support urinary tract health in adult cats. This special formulation is designed to help maintain a favorable urinary environment through targeted control of minerals that can contribute to the formation of urinary stones.
With a balanced calorie intake in a 400 gram pack, it is ideal for maintaining the cat's optimal body weight without sacrificing taste and quality. The diet promotes good hydration and contributes to reducing the risk of reappearance of urinary stones, offering complete support for kidney and urinary health.
It comes with a careful and nutritious composition, also suitable for cats with specific sensitivities or predispositions related to the urinary tract. Royal Canin Urinary is tasty and easily accepted by cats, making daily administration of the food easier and promoting a healthy and controlled eating routine.
Therapeutic Indications
Royal Canin Urinary is indicated for the nutritional management of feline lower urinary tract diseases (FLUTD), particularly those related to crystalluria or stones, such as struvite and calcium oxalate stones. This diet is specifically developed to help dissolve struvite stones by reducing their formation and to prevent the reappearance of stones, thanks to an optimal balance of minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus and calcium.
Furthermore, the product is indicated for cats with idiopathic cystitis problems, an inflammatory condition of the urinary tract that can cause discomfort and complications. Promotes a stable urinary environment with a controlled pH to reduce bacterial growth and inflammation. Adequate protein intake supports kidney function and helps maintain muscle mass over time.
This food is recommended both for cats in need of preventive support and for those recovering from urinary pathologies, adapting to a therapeutic dietary management that can also be followed for long periods under veterinary supervision.
Composition
Royal Canin Urinary offers a balanced composition that includes a perfect mix of proteins selected for a high biological value, promoting adequate nutritional intake without overloading the kidneys. The ingredients include selected cereals, high quality animal proteins, oils and fats, contributing to a complete and balanced food.
The product contains a strict control of minerals such as magnesium, calcium and phosphorus to limit the formation of crystals and urinary stones. Furthermore, it is enriched with antioxidants, vitamins and essential amino acids to support the immune system and improve the cat's general well-being.
The formulation also includes ingredients that promote palatability, making the food palatable and stimulating intake, an important feature for cats with reduced appetite or urinary problems that can influence nutrition. The crunchy texture contributes to oral health, promoting the mechanical cleaning of the teeth during chewing.
Contraindications
Royal Canin Urinary is not indicated for pregnant or lactating cats, or for cats with severe renal insufficiency, as the nutritional composition must be carefully individualized in these cases. It is important to always consult a veterinarian before starting the diet in cats with complex medical conditions.
It should not be used as a complete food for growing kittens or cats, as the nutritional needs at these life stages differ greatly. Furthermore, it is not suitable for cats with specific allergies or intolerances to the ingredients included, therefore careful monitoring is necessary in case of known sensitivities.
Since the diet is formulated with strict control of minerals, inappropriate or uncontrolled use can cause imbalances in cats without urinary pathologies, therefore it should only be used under veterinary indications.
Safety of the drug for the species
This food is safe for daily use in adult cats under veterinary supervision. It has been formulated to meet nutritional requirements without overburdening the urinary system, promoting a nutrient profile that protects and maintains urinary tract and kidney health.
It does not contain aggressive or potentially toxic compounds and its continuous administration over time, under control, is considered safe for the prevention and management of urinary disease in cats. The attention to the quality of the ingredients guarantees the absence of contaminants and harmful substances.
However, it is recommended to respect the indicated doses and regularly monitor the cat's health, with particular veterinary checks, to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the diet over time.
Precautions
It is important to administer Royal Canin Urinary only after an accurate diagnosis and specific veterinary indication for urinary pathologies. The diet must be administered for the period recommended by the veterinarian, respecting the daily quantities to avoid metabolic problems or deficiencies.
During administration, it is advisable to always ensure the availability of fresh, clean water to ensure good hydration, a crucial factor for preventing relapses and maintaining a healthy urinary environment. Adequate hydration helps dilute urine and prevent the formation of crystals or stones.
Furthermore, it is advisable to avoid administering other foods or snacks not agreed with the veterinarian, as they could alter the nutritional balance necessary for the management of urinary health. Regular monitoring of the cat's clinical and biological conditions during the diet is advisable.
Method of administration
Royal Canin Urinary is a dry food that can be administered directly into your cat's usual meal. It is recommended to carefully follow the doses indicated based on the body weight and state of health of the animal, as recommended by the veterinarian.
In the event of a food change, it is recommended to gradually introduce the new food for at least 7 days, mixing it progressively with the previous food to avoid digestive problems or rejection. The food can be administered alone or in combination with water or broth to improve palatability.
It is essential to ensure that the cat consumes all of the expected daily ration to obtain the therapeutic benefits necessary to support the urinary tract and maintain general well-being. Always follow your vet's instructions for any changes or adjustments to doses.
Treatment program
The treatment program with Royal Canin Urinary varies depending on the severity of the urinary condition and the individual response of the cat. Generally, it is recommended to use the food for a minimum period of several months, until clinical improvement and stabilization of urinary parameters under veterinary supervision.
In cases of stones, treatment can include a dissolution phase with this specific diet, followed by a maintenance phase to prevent recurrence, which can even last for the entire life of the animal. The duration and methods must be evaluated and personalized by the veterinary surgeon.
In the case of idiopathic cystitis, the continuous use of this diet can help reduce the frequency of inflammatory episodes and improve the cat's quality of life, integrating any specific pharmacological therapies. Periodic monitoring helps to calibrate the program based on the clinical response.
Target species
This food is intended exclusively for adult cats. It is formulated taking into account the nutritional needs of this species, with particular attention to urinary problems that can affect domestic cats. It is not suitable for other animal species or for growing kittens.
