Answer
There has to be something in his diet that is causing the stones. I would suggest a natural diet, low calcium and low protein.  You may end up cooking for him, veggies, rice, chicken. If your vet hasn't done a full blood panel on him, ask for one.  Perhaps they can tell you more from the results. Stay away from commercial dog treats, biscuits and try a natural diet.  Good luck to you.
