Administration can be accompanied by a periodic check of clinical conditions and, if necessary, by adjustments in doses given by the veterinarian.
The duration of use of this diet must be decided by the veterinarian, and can vary from a temporary treatment in case of acute disorders, up to a prolonged use for the prevention of relapses in patients at risk. In any case, administration must be scrupulously respected to obtain the best therapeutic results.
Treatment program
The treatment program with Royal Canin Urinary Small Cane includes an initial phase of continuous administration to resolve or reduce crystalluria and the risk of urinary stones in small dogs. Usually, the veterinarian establishes a minimum period of use which can vary from several weeks to months, based on the clinical response and the results of control tests.
Subsequently, long-term use can be continued as a preventive measure, regularly monitoring the urinary health and general state of the dog through periodic veterinary checks. In case of relapses or particular situations, the treatment may be prolonged or integrated with other specific treatments indicated by the veterinary doctor.
The success of the treatment also depends on maintaining an adequate intake of fluids and environmental and behavioral control, to avoid factors predisposing to the formation of stones or recurrent urinary infections. The combination of diet, regular monitoring and veterinary support is essential to ensure the long-lasting well-being of the dog.
Target species
Royal Canin Urinary Small Cane is intended for small dogs only. The formulation has been designed taking into account the specific nutritional needs of this category of dogs, which often have a different metabolism and needs compared to medium or large dogs. The food is therefore suitable for small domestic dogs that need a specific diet for the management of urinary tract pathologies.
It is not suitable for cats or other animal species, as the nutritional composition and mineral profile are calibrated only for dogs. Administration to subjects of other species could lead to nutritional imbalances and not guarantee the desired therapeutic benefits.
It is always recommended to use the product under the supervision of a veterinarian, to ensure that the food is suitable for the specific characteristics and health conditions of the individual small dog.
