Panda's been peeing or marking in the house since last summer. I got him tested at the vets and he has a bit of crystals and a bit of white blood cells but not enough to say he has a definite urinary tract infection.
The vet suggested trying a food that may help, it's Royal Canin's Multifunction Urinary & Hydrolyzed protein dry food - he's currently on Nutrience lamb & duck formula
I checked out the ingredients of the Royal Canin food and this is what it says
Brewers rice, hydrolyzed soy protein, chicken fat, natural flavors, chicory, salt, rice hulls, vegetable oil, fish oil, calcium sulfate, sodium silico aluminate, potassium phosphate, fructooligosaccharides, potassium chloride, vitamins [DL-alpha tocopherol acetate (source of vitamin E), inositol, niacin supplement, D-calcium pantothenate, biotin, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), riboflavin supplement, thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), vitamin A acetate, folic acid, vitamin B12 supplement, vitamin D3 supplement], calcium carbonate, taurine, choline chloride, DL-methionine, N-butyric acid, trace minerals [zinc proteinate, zinc oxide, manganese proteinate, ferrous sulfate, manganous oxide, copper sulfate, sodium selenite, copper proteinate, calcium iodate], rosemary extract, preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid
I can't see this stuff being any better - there's no actual food in there - brewer's rice, hydrolyzed soy protein (what is that?) chicken fat, salt, rice hulls, vegetable oil
It's $50 for a 6 pound bag and I'm supposed to feed him 1 cup per day.
Anyone have any good results with this?
