What kind of crystals did they find specifically? Were they calcium oxalate or struvite or something else?
If they were calcium oxalate, it's important that you feed a food that contains low oxalate ingredients because these stones are recurring...
If they are struvite, these are typically caused by a UTI and the dog needs to maintain urinary health.
Solid Gold Berry Balance is a good supplement that helps to maintain urinary health particularly in dogs who have issues with UTI or struvite crystals/stones.
Regardless of what types of crystals your baby produces, it's important to increase the moisture intake of your dog. The urine should be dilute to prevent the formation of stones...
Equal parts water should be added to equal parts food at each meal to help with this if your dog eats dry food.
Canned food is preferred for dogs who have stone/crystals because of the moisture content. Also, high moisture treats like seedless watermelon.
Good luck!!
