Royal Canin Urinary Care Loaf review

Name: Royal Canin Urinary Care Loaf
Brand: Royal Canin

40.5/100Average

WetAdultSenior

A high street urinary loaf, and it settles in our Average band because the label shows only the legal minimum. The analysis is calmer than the list: protein at 41.4% of dry matter and starch all but level with the category. Fat is rich, though, at 28.6% of dry matter.

Older dogs, with adult and senior covered by one recipe
Dogs whose calories must fit a small volume

The details

Dog fit

Listed for small adult and senior dogs. Plenty of owners feed it alongside a dry food, since a wet loaf makes the daily portion look big.

The score, in context

Royal Canin Urinary Care Loaf 40.5

All one Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The analysis reads well; the list in category terms is what keeps it two bands under the typical wet food.

What's in it

Meat and animal derivativesNeither species nor share declared; the animals can change from batch to batch with the label unchanged.
Derivatives of vegetable originAhead of cereals, unusual for this family of loaves.
CerealsNo grain named.
Minerals
Various sugarsAdded for palatability, no level given.

Vitamin D3 with iron, iodine, copper, manganese and zinc, every one dosed, and mineral balance is where urinary thinking usually turns.

Not a prescription diet. A diagnosed urinary condition needs the vet's plan first.

Named ingredients

Meat and animal derivatives, derivatives of vegetable origin, cereals, minerals, various sugars.

Against the range

One soft loaf in 85g servings, moisture declared at 79.0%. Every ingredient is a category term, with no animal or grain named, and there is no added oil, so the fat comes in with the meat.
