Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this urinary health food for effectively resolving and preventing urinary tract issues including crystals, blockages, and infections. Many report dramatic improvements after switching, with cats remaining healthy for 5 to 15+ years. Reviewers consistently note their cats love the taste and eat willingly, even picky eaters. Most describe it as life-changing and essential for long-term health. However, some recent users report adverse reactions like vomiting after noticing formula changes, causing concern among long-term customers. Overall, the vast majority consider it highly effective and recommend it.

Changed food, sick cats, lying corporation.

Mike123

1 month ago
I have been feeding my cats Urinary SO for a decade before it was changed. After the change to the food they have been, vomiting, lethargic, losing weight, and we have spent thousands in medical bills. In one of the many, many poor reviews saying the same thing, Royal Canin responded saying that nothing was changed. This is an absolute lie. I have bags of both the old and new right in front of me and am posting the picture as they are clearly different. This is absolutely unacceptable. Why are you lying about the change?

Annoyed and disappointed

Have been feeding this to 2 cats for 14 years. Last bag I received is larger pieces and obviously different. Both cats turned up their noses and have refused to eat it. Tried mixing it with something else and they ate around it. After 2 days I had to find a new food. Very disappointed that there was no advance warning that the product was being reformulated. Knowing that cats are finnicky and do not like change, this should have been considered before reformulating the food.

Sick cats

Have been feeding for years worked great until the most recent bag made all of my cats sick. Vomit, constipation, dehydration, days without eating any foods. Thousands in vet bills to rule everything else out. Will not be going back after this.

Formula change caused constant vomiting.

My cats have been on this food for two years without issue. Then, suddenly we get a bag in September 2025 and they are throwing up after EVERY MEAL. This went on for two weeks while we tried adjusting the amount, we talked to our vet, we took them in for blood work to rule out illness. They were perfectly healthy, but they were losing weight fast. So we realized the formula must've changed without any word. We changed them to the Purina pro plan and the vomiting stopped and they have now gained the weight back and are perfectly happy and healthy. So thank you Royal canin for the hundreds spent on vet bills and carpet cleaning as well as a month of extreme anxiety.

Keep them healthy

Started this years ago when one of my 6 cats had a urinary infection. It’s been good for them all since then. Advice is to keep it well sealed in its bag to keep it fresh. They can tell the difference.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Vomiting

MoLouisCat

My two adult cats have been eating this food without problems, until recently, since 2017. The most recent bag of food caused a myriad of problems for our two cats, that sadly took about a month and a half for us and the vet to diagnose. Both of our cats were throwing up almost EVERY TIME they ate. As a result, they were also eating less, which was concerning for our smaller cat, and clearly impacted their energy levels. Both our cats have other, differing health problems, so unfortunately it took us weeks to discover it was the food that caused their vomiting. Right after we switched to Hills, both cats stopped vomiting after every feeding, had appetite, and their spunk back. I feel terrible that they both suffered for about six weeks until we learned it was the food causing their sickness. Reading other reviews here and elsewhere online helped me diagnose the cause and I am astounded that RC has not had to report their formulation changes.

A day doesn’t go by without my cat vomiting. I believe something has changed in the ingredients. Looking for an alternative diet.
