Struvite & Calcium Oxilate Stone food - SoJos ;

Question
Dear Marie

I have a Samoyed bitch aged 11 years who has recently been diagnosed with Struvite & Calcium Oxilate bladder stones.  She has had them removed and the vet has advised that i put her on a diet of Hill Prescription U/D.

I am very worried after finding that it is not recommended for longterm use and would really like to try a homemade diet if at all possible.

Please can you advise if there is anything I can try.

Many thanks - Claire (UK)

Answer
Grain-free dog food; SoJo's
Hi Claire -  There is a product you can try that is for sale in the UK -  it is called SoJo's dog food mix ( the green bag is grain-free)....  Buy the Sojo's and add  cooked beef ground hamburger ) - make sure you cook your meats.
SoJo's is sold in many UK stores or here is the link:

MUST get the Green grain-free bag/ only

They also have 2 kinds of Grain-free treats...

If you would like to use the SoJo's --- start out slow, as to not Shock the system.
Do 1 meal of Sojo's and 1 of the Hill's x 10 days... Then, slowly work your way off the Hill's product.  

If you can't find Sojo, let me know!  I can suggest another one.
