Science Diet C/D versus Waltham Royal Canin SO

My Hannah has had urinary problems since the day we adopted her, the Vet had
her on Science Diet SD for 75 days with urine checks during that time, she had
struvite crystals now after this last urine test he said everything looks good
so he put her on Science diet C/D for life.
A friend of mine mentioned Royal Canin Veterinary Diet/Walthams food for
urinary problems. I checked it out on the Internet and it sounds good, better
than Science Diet C/D, states it helps prevent struvite and helps minimize
formation of calcium oxalate and bru****e uroliths. I read Science Diet C/D
helps prevent struvite crystals but nothing about the other, calcium oxalate
and bru****e uroliths.
I'm wondering if there is anyone out there who has used this.

I don't think my Vet carries this Walthams I've never seen it there but he's
loaded with Prescription Science Diet Food.

Just wondering.
Thanks
Dianne

Ask your vet. My understanding of the 2 products is that it isn't possible to
treat 2 different kinds of FLUTD with the same food. The urinary pH outputs of
c/d and S/O are wildly different. Not to mention that c/d has higher levels of
antioxidants than S/O. But, again check with your vet!
