I am having the same issues you were having back in April. I noticed your thread on the yorkietalk.com

Our vet prescribed Hills Pres Diet W/D with adding 1 teas of potassium nitrate granules and I am hesitant to start feeding this to my yorkie Samie.

I have a yorkie who recently developed calcium oxalate crystals in her urine. Back in Feb she (I believe, she developed allergies) from Purina Vet Pres Diet-NF formula.

I changed her food abruptly to Canidae after finding that a lot of people on the forum fed Canidae. I couldn’t continue feeding a food that was upsetting my dog both when she ate and after she had a bowel movement. And I couldn’t just stop feeding her either so I had to do something quick.

The foods main ingredient in the Purina vet pres NF diet: was “corn” and yes also not a lot of impressive ingredients…

I also had changed vets in the process of these problems. My old vet said the scooting and crying was b/c of anal glands… well this went on for 8 mos and I got fed up and found a new vet. Anyways- just wanted to give you a little more info. I am hesitant to give another “corn” based food and wondering what you ended up finding out about other alternatives?
