Is this round kibble? My vet only stocks science diet, the one my cat with the urinary problems will not eat. Thank you!

yES, this ares round kibbles and my cat has been eating these for years. There are many web sites where you can order these Royal Canin urinary SO kibbles, and their prices are reasonable

it has been over a year since I bought this food, as my cat passed away from heart disease. Sorry I cannot help

I can't remember. I used this kibble a long time ago and no longer have cats.

I believe so, yes, I already thru away the bag, but looked in the kibble container, there I keep all dry kitty food, and kibbles are round. My cats love it, surely taste much better then science diet, strongly recommend.

No, the kibbles are not round as like a bb or marble. The kibbles are kind of flat and slightly egg shaped. Hope this helps. Jeff

Yes...my cat has CKD and she eats it. She's picky so I have to jump through hoops and sometimes combine it with the new Broths from Fancy Feast but she does eat it. She does better with this than her kidney food (Hills K/D).

Hi Diane: Thanks to your comment, I plan to buy this and share it with my cat, who is 23 years old and like yours, suffering from kidney disease. With RenAvast powder and Ubiquinol, he has kept amazingly well, surprising the vet by living for years, but recently he has been bleeding (red) from the rectum and has bloody stools, apparently not healed simply by taking antibiotics. It is scary, but I still have hope because apart from his time in the litter box, he seems comfortable and still has his appetite. I'm very grateful for your comment!

You asked this a long time ago, but I have 1 male and 2 females, the male has urinary problems for the past several months, he will not eat the prescription dry food, but the females do, the vet said it would not cause problems, and it has not.

When I switched to this product my cat's digestive track completely cleared up. Prior to this brand he had terrible problem including blood in stools from months of digestive track problems. I would thing that either you cat has an individual problem with the brand ingredients, you might try turkey or beef, or the amount you are feeding is too great especially if the cat is older and more idle.

I work for a vet and researched uti's pretty extensively. In a nutshell, water is needed to dissolve these mineral crystals. If there is not enough water in urine the minerals bind and don't dissolve properly. Wet cat food has the same water content(approx 70%) that cats in the wild derive from prey. Cats have no nutritional need for carbohydrates of which dry foods are comprised. Realizing wet food tends to be a bit more expensive (in the short term, excluding vet bills) be sure to leave plenty of fresh water out for cats if you supplement a wet food diet with dry.

You can set it for large or small kibble and I don't think it matters if it is round or flat - I use round and it is fine. The only problem I have had is that my cats turn the machine upside down trying to get more food out!

As far as I know, this cat food is not Holistic. It is grain and glutton free. I use it as a night time snack for my kitties and they do well with it. I alternate it with the turkey meal grain free limited ingredients flavor. Cats from 2 years to 16 years are eating it with no tummy upsets and it is about 20% (max) of their diet.

It has to dispense the same amount unless you manually change the settings. I would be remiss however unless I told you about how I have recently learned how bad kibble is for cats. I thought I was feeding my cat well with high end kibble and I was so wrong. Changed to feeding canned food two or three times a day and her health improved dramatically. Just trying to get the word out.

I feed it to my cats. One of them LOVES it sprinkled on his wet food! He licks the plate clean! I believe the package says it's for dogs and cats, which is why I tried it with my cats...they need all these high nutrients too, so why not?

I have three cats of which only one (male) has urinary cysts. He was prescribed this diet, the wet food, wth the instructions to be fed seperate from the other two. I knew before I tried that it would not work (the seperate feeding) and feeding all three would be quite pricey. But so was a $300 vet bill and a very sick cat. All three are on a breakfast, lunch and dinner schedule. All have adpated to the food and scheduling and all are healthy.

Sorry not cats but I ordered it for one of my dogs who has a special diet for gets calcium oxalate stones and has a homemade diet, I only add it every other day to his food but haven't had any problems with it and it lasts a long time. It smells fishy when you first add it but the smell goes away shortly after. I don't know why your cat may need it but i have to check my dogs ph level everyday and it seems to help a bit

I wouldn't feed cat food to a dog. They have different nutritional requirements. Merrick probably makes dog food as well as cat food. I suspect there was a error in the search that gave you that result.

You COULD but it is very large. My cat doesn't always eat her ration of food daily so cannot sprinkle it on. I give it to my cat daily in a teaspoon of yogurt. I checked with my Vet and with the company as well. Both ok'd it. She thinks she is getting her 'treat' every morning. She takes it for a bladder disease and now for her joints as she is older. Been giving it to her this way for 8 years.
