10 May 2021Great Product
I put my cat on this after a urinary blockage. He loves it and is doing great. He has slimmed down a lot from his previous weight of 21 pounds (he's part Maine Coon) and his fur doesn't get matted like it did before. The calming effects of it are very noticeable as well. He used to be scared of everyone and everything. He is much more calm and has really come out of his shell. He is almost 7 and it has been a great change of diet for him. My other 3 cats love it as well and will eat from his bowl whenever they can.

Great to hear he is doing so well!

27 Nov 20207 sick cats!
I've been feeding the Urinary SO to 5 of my 7 cats for quite some time. I opened a new bag last night. The cats did not exhibit their normal enthusiasm. They had a couple of bites and walked away. The two cats who don't normally eat it took the opportunity to "sneak" some as a treat. Today I have 7 lethargic cats who won't eat. The cat who ate the most food last night has vomited once per hour for the last 7 hours. After reading other reviews, I am now aware that wheat has been added. My vomiting cat is very allergic to wheat. I will be working with my vet to come up with an alternative food.

18 Oct 2020Very disappointed new formula
I have purchased this food now for about close to two years, and my cats do not like the new formula. Typically they can eat the top 1/4-1/2 of the bag, but past that even the cat that will eat anything, walks away from it. I close the bag tightly and even flip it upside down to see if that works if some flavors are settling. They also get sick on it like the others I see in the review. They are also opposed to the wet version as well. I have to throw 1/2 of the bag away every time I purchase it. Very disheartening. The old formula was a little better. It is very challenging since the boys need the SO food. We even buy the medium sized bag.

27 Aug 2020Formula Change
My cat used to eat the old formula (green label) and we had no issues. I called Royal Canin when the bag switched to the (gold label) and was told that they added "Wheat" to the ingredients. This may be the problem why everyone's cats no longer like the food or vomit a lot when eating this food. Wheat can be bad especially if your cats is allergic to wheat which a lot of cats are. Also, the same thing with the wet SO food, my cat will no longer eat it.

12 Aug 2020Cat Gained Weight and Vomited with new Formula!
I used to feed the RCVD Urinary SO to both my cats and they were overweight and would have the occasional hairball but I was working in feeding them less and doing stuff to help hairballs. When the Moderate Calorie diet version came out my Vet recommended it so of course I switched and ever since both my cats vomit without hairballs, one of the gained weight even though I have restricted the calories more and the other cat who loves to eat stopped eating it and was recently diagnosed with Diabetes (this is mot likely unrelated to the food however this is a very high carb diet which I didn’t not realize.) I will be switching my cat with Urinary issues to a different diet. The only good thing and the reason I gave 2 stars is because since being on the diet my cat didn’t get anymore struvite crystals.

19 Jul 2020I am a veterinary assistant - Dissatisfied
I have worked in veterinary medicine for 8 years. I have all 3 of my male cats on urinary S/O or an Royal Canin S/O indexx food. The S/O Mod Cal food makes my cats excessively vomit and has done so for several months. This did not used to be the case. They used to love eating it and would hound me to be fed. Now when it put it down they just look at me. There is no way that Royal Canin hasn't changed their formula. I'm really annoyed about this and won't recommend it to clients. I recommend sticking with the regular Urinary S/O food that is not the Mod Cal diet or switching to another Royal Canin diet that has the S/O index in it. I also feed the Royal Canin Feline Dental Diet b/c it has the S/O index in it. I do not have problems with this food and my cats teeth (8 yrs old) look like a 2 yr old cat. I've never brushed their teeth and they've never had a dental.

08 Jul 2020no bladder stone worries now
my female cat developed bladder stones and thankfully they were small enough to be flushed out without surgery thanks to my great vet. He recommended using prescription dry food. My cat loves this one and has had no issues and it's been at least six months. Highly recommend.
Royal Canin response
Wonderful to hear!

26 May 2020Mixed results after formula change
The first bag of Urinary SO Moderate Calorie dry food made my cat vomit after every meal. Royal Canin told my vet they couldn't think why that would happen and offered to switch the bag out for free "just in case". The first bag was my usual large bag (like 14lbs I think?). I asked for a replacement bag in the smaller size in case my cat continued to vomit and I was stuck with the extra food. She does NOT have an upset stomach and is not vomiting now that we're using the smaller replacement bag of the new formula. However she doesn't really seem to enjoy the flavor of it and making her eat is now a struggle, when before, well, she was on the moderate calorie for a reason.
