• Bacterial cystitis.
• Dissolution of struvite uroliths.
• Management of recurrent struvite and calcium oxalate urolithiasis.
In older dogs, renal function should be checked before Urinary S/O Moderate Calorie
is prescribed.
URINARY S/O is a complete dietetic feed for adult DOGS formulated to dissolve struvite stones and reduce their recurrence through its urine acidifying properties, a low level of magnesium and a restricted level of high quality protein.

5 to 12 weeks of dietary treatment are required to dissolve uroliths. If a urinary tract infection is present, Urinary S/O Canine, combined with an antibacterial agent, should be prescribed for at least one month after a negative urine culture result is obtained.
Urinary S/O effectively dissolves struvite uroliths
The reduced calorie content of the diet makes it possible to limit weight gain in dogs with a tendency to obesity
Diluting urine decreases the urinary concentration of struvites and calcium oxalates. The larger urinary volume also ensures regular bladder wash-out.
Undersaturated urine is an environment where crystals cannot proliferate. Thus the urine is unfavourable to the development of struvite and calcium oxalate crystals
Further Information
High moisture diets promote urine and calorie dilution. In addition, the increased urine volumes caused by eating a high moisture diet will actually reduce the risk of urolith formation by increasing the frequency of urination, thus reducing the time available for urinary solutes to form crystals or stones.
