| pH levels (somewhat) low Hi everyone, 'We got a first timer here!' Just found this site, everyone seems so nice and knowledgable - any feedback one might have for me would be greatly appreciated. Recently, fearing my pup (3 year old) may have a UTI, I took her to the vet. After testing her urine, her pH level came back at 5. Tested her urine again two weeks later and it is now at 5.5. He informed me the range we want to be in is between 6-7. With fears of calcium oxalate issues and surgery, he thought it was best to change her diet. He wants to put her on Royal Canin. I have always been on the fence with RC, I never know if it's good or not (recalls, ingredients, etc). I have been giving her Fromm (practically) since the beginning. Any info would be extremely helpful. |

| Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet and Purina all make prescription foods that are very good for medical conditions. I have one of my foster pups, who has a history of calcium oxylate stones, on RC Urinary SO. He is doing very well on it. I don't believe there have been any recalls on these RX foods.
