Appreciate the question — let's unpack this. I completely understand why you're looking for alternatives to Royal Canin Urinary SO for your pet. This special diet is often recommended to help manage and prevent urinary crystal and stone formation by controlling the mineral content and promoting more acidic urine, which discourages crystal formation.
If you're considering an alternative diet, you’ll want to ensure that whatever you choose supports urinary health similarly. A key factor is a diet that maintains appropriate levels of magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium while promoting a slightly acidic urine pH.
At-home, always provide fresh water to encourage your pet to drink more, as hydration helps flush the urinary system. Also, watch for signs like increased or painful urination, blood in the urine, or any behavioral changes, which may indicate a persistent or evolving issue.
It's wise to work closely with a vet when making dietary changes to ensure your pet's urinary health is fully supported. I recommend booking a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals who can explore alternatives tailored to your pet's specific needs and health status.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
