| Best food to prevent crystals Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has had issues with crystals in their dog's urine? A number of years ago our Morkie had calcium oxillate crystals and a bladder infection. We switched her to a homemade diet which has really worked well, but my time is more limited now and I was hoping to find a suitable commercially made food. So far I haven't been able to find one. I want it to be very high quality and it can't have any high oxalate ingredients. I was hoping someone may have had the same issue with their dog and had luck with some type of commercially prepared food. Thanks in advance! |

| Your vet can prescribe a special food for that.

| Thank you! I was aware of the prescription diet available at my vet, but I haven't heard very many good things about it. I was just wondering if there may be any other options, but it seems pretty limited for dogs with this issue. |

| If the bad things you are hearing are regarding the ingredients then your not listening to the right people. Dogs and humans are different so dogs need different things then we do so what may sound great for us isn’t for them. Especially dogs with health issues. Prescription dog food saves and makes many dogs life’s much better.
