Urinary SO Loaf in Sauce Canned Cat Food

Our senior kitty has been on this food all her life as she is prone to urinary tract infections. Over the last year or so, we've noticed that our kitty has not been eating regularly or seems so famished that she goes through extra food. My husband and I have discussed whether there was something wrong with the food - maybe more or less water content or SOMETHING - and now I see that may actually be the case. We've even done additional bloodwork at the vet thinking something was wrong with her. As we have the food auto-shipped through Chewy, they recently advised that they will not be getting the food in the future. When I looked elsewhere - out of stock. Why did I have to come to this website to learn that the formula was changed and that other cats are struggling similarly. Have already contacted the vet to find an alternative. Not cool, Royal Canin. Not cool.

My cats health has recently been deteriorating. And now I see in the reviews that it’s making Other cats sick? Why can’t I find any more information on what is going on with this food? Nothing! We pay an arm and a leg for the food this company provides to keep our animals in good health. We Deserve to know what’s going on. What is it March now? I don’t trust this company.

Here's my, or his, story. I feed my cats wet Ziwipeak. Went to clean the litterbox and there was blood in his pee. The did testing at the vet and turns out he's got crystals. They prescribed this (or Hills) and I have to admit, I fed him the RC 70% and Ziwi 30% in a day. I love Ziwi and the quality ingredients and I was upset about having to give that up, plus he was losing weight on the RC too. Thirty day check-up he was good and no crystals. About a month later he was having trouble holding it in and I noticed small red spots. Took him back, got scolded a bit by the doctor and was told he needs to be only on diet food. He can have one treat a day but no more Ziwi as it created high a PH balance. She said it's not from Ziwi but his body is changing to senior age and we all know what that does to us. So I had to stick to the RC, with dry food added in to keep his weight up cause he's a big cat, and with the next vet check he was clear of crystals. That last vet appt was a month ago and all seems fine now but for the minor incontinences he experiences. I put puppy pads outside the litterbox for that. He has also had minor issues though, being diagnosed with IBS many years ago. All cats are different and even though I don't like the ingredients in this food it does work, at least for my kitty. Now let's talk about my how this affects my bank account lol...

I don't understand all of the bad reviews. My kitty is prone to crystals and after just one day on this food she started peeing normally again. Prior to this food, she would visit the litter box dozens of times a day and just sit and strain for up to 5 minutes. I'll continue to give her this food as long as she will eat it!

My vet recommended this food for my cat who is prone to crystals in her urine and UTI's. I bought 12 cans from my vet about a month ago and apparently those cans contained the original formula. I received 24 cans from a different distributor today and my cat will not touch this food now. Normally, I would take the time to gradually switch my cat to a new food if she doesn't seem immediately interested in it but I am very hesitant considering that most of these reviews say that the new formula made their cat(s) vomit. I am super disappointed. I will be switching to a different brand.

My cat, Cliff, has been on this food for 6 years and just recently I noticed that the consistency of the food looked odd, as if it was spoiled. I also noticed this weird brown sludge that made the food look dried out. Another thing I noticed was that my cat was eating this much slower than normal. Then he started getting diarrhea. I couldn't figure out what was causing this as he otherwise seemed fine. This was happening for about a week. Then one night he wouldn't eat his food, which is very unlike him and alarming. My other cat, Sophie, ending up eating the food Cliff wouldn't touch (she does not eat Royal Canin, she's on a different food). That night Sophie ended up having diarrhea and the next day wouldn't eat anything. The only variable that was different is that she ate the Royal Canin SO food. The next day I called the vet and purchased new food prescription food for Cliff. Cliff's diarrhea immediately stopped after stopping Royal Canin SO food. After about a day Sophie started eating again and her diarrhea also stopped. Without a doubt I know that this food caused my cats to get sick. I did some research and saw that the complaints on the new formula date back to February of this year (2020). Why hasn't something been done??? I heard Royal Canin started using cheaper ingredients in their food. Most likely this is the problem as I also heard that across the board the food is making animals sick. This is incredibly disturbing as from my perspective I thought this food was the best of the best. It's expensive, it's made in the USA, it's recommended by the doctors. Now I don't know who to trust! I called Royal Canin as an effort of goodwill to alert them of this issue and ask them to have integrity and pull this food from the market and let everyone know what is happening so that they don't continue to unknowingly poison their pets. I have zero faith that this company is going to do anything since the complaints have dated back almost a year. My biggest fear is that what I've been feeding Cliff is going to cause long term damage. What I also fear is that other people may not realize that what they are feeding their pets is causing them to get sick and potentially lead to death. Please research other food for your pets. We are now feeding Cliff Hills C/D and he seems to love it. ROYAL CANIN DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL THIS FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My cat will no longer eat this product. You changed the formula and now it is dried out. Will find another company

My cat has been on this food for 3 years and now he refuses to eat sniffs and runs away. What did you do to the formula... will be going to vet to change his diet.. awful

Two of my five cats were switched to the Royal Canin green label after they'd developed urinary problems. They healed and they were doing wonderfully on it for 2 years, between giving them both the wet and dry Urinary SO. Then the label changed to gold. My male cat started vomiting, diarrhea, and got really itchy with dandruff. My other two male cats wouldn't eat it at all. One of my female cats gagged trying to eat it and got diarrhea. Then my other female cat that did seem to like it at first, started getting sick from it. The price went way up as well too with the new label!!
