Royal Canin Urinary Care is a dry cat food formulated to support urinary tract health by promoting an optimal mineral balance and maintaining a low urinary pH.

The recipe includes 33% protein from dehydrated poultry protein and vegetable protein isolate, providing essential amino acids while ensuring digestibility.

A controlled mineral balance, including calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, helps reduce the risk of urinary stone formation.

The inclusion of vegetable fibers and beet pulp supports digestive health and promotes hydration by encouraging water intake.

Fish and soya oil provide essential fatty acids, supporting skin health and overall well-being.

Marigold extract, a source of lutein, adds natural antioxidants that contribute to immune function and cellular protection.

Proven to be twice as effective as a standard diet in supporting lower urinary tract health within 10 days.

Pros:

• Supports urinary health: Regulated mineral content and a low urinary pH reduce the crystal and stone formation risk.

• High digestibility: Poultry protein and vegetable protein isolate are selected for easy absorption and nutrient utilization.

• Encourages hydration: Balanced fiber content helps promote water intake, supporting urinary tract function.

• Essential fatty acids for skin and coat: Fish oil and soya oil provide omega fatty acids contributing to a healthy skin barrier.

• Clinically tested effectiveness: Shown to improve urinary tract health within 10 days compared to a standard diet.

Cons:

• Contains plant-based proteins: Vegetable protein isolate and maize gluten contribute to the protein content but are less bioavailable than animal proteins.

• Moderate fat content: 13% fat may not be ideal for less active cats or those prone to weight gain.

• Includes common allergens: Contains maize, wheat, and soya, which may not be suitable for cats with grain sensitivities.

• No added urinary acidifiers: While the formula helps regulate pH, it does not include direct urinary acidifiers like DL-methionine.
