Royal Canin Urinary UC Low Purine is a veterinary-exclusive dry dog food formulated to nutritionally support your adult dog’s urinary tract and bladder health. Some dog breeds such as Dalmatians, Bulldogs, and Yorkshire Terriers are genetically prone to urate or cystine bladder stones because of difficulties breaking down purines found in dog foods or an accumulation of an amino acid called cysteine in the urine. Moderate levels of high-quality proteins, methionine, and cysteine help reduce the risk of cystine stones from forming. Low-purine proteins may help prevent urate stones. And enhanced levels of EPA and DHA linoleic acid, zinc, and biotin promote a healthy skin and shiny coat. Lower urinary tract issues may be a recurring concern for some dogs. Talk to your veterinarian about keeping your dog on this urinary dog food for long-term urinary support.

Transition Instructions
Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet’s health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet’s current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.

|Days 1-2|75%|25%|
|Days 3-4|50%|50%|
|Days 5-6|25%|75%|
