Does feeding my dog Royal Canin Urinary SO have any side effects I should be aware of?

I've recently started feeding my dog Royal Canin Urinary SO, as recommended for his urinary health issues. I'm curious if there are any side effects I should keep an eye out for with this diet. Is there anything specific I should be monitoring, or any adjustments that might be necessary for his overall well-being?

Answer

Royal Canin Urinary SO is formulated to support urinary health in dogs, and while it is generally well tolerated, it's important to monitor your pet for any potential side effects or changes in behavior.

  • Watch for any signs of gastrointestinal upset, such as vomiting or diarrhea.
  • Keep an eye on your dog's weight; the diet can sometimes lead to weight loss or gain.
  • Look out for any changes in thirst or urination habits.
  • Monitor your dog for overall energy levels and behavior changes.

It is crucial to observe these signs because changes in diet, especially therapeutic diets, can affect different dogs in various ways. While Royal Canin Urinary SO is designed to help prevent urinary issues, unexpected side effects can occur and may indicate that a dietary adjustment or further medical evaluation is necessary.
