QuestionI have a dalmatian with a current infection who is on an antibiotic. Was diagnosed with crystals - struvites and urates. Need a good quality food recommendation that isn't Hills or Royal Canin. Both seem to have poor ingredients. Don't want to cook at home but need a commercial dog food. What about Flint River Lamb? Is currently on Wellness chicken.

Hi EM - I am not too fond of Flint River foods , they are ok...
I sure do like the following for my kidney clients...
1. Home cooking or the SoJo Grain Free Program ..
I can provide you with some home cooking recipes for dogs with struvites and stones OR:
the SoJo green bag - grain free is Wonderful...
"Grain free" with Cranberry and NuVET is very helpful ...
SEE Here for SoJo's cooking - add white meats
( *cook all yorr meats )
You can get ground chicken, lamb, pork, and turkey
( ask the butcher to grind the meats for you...

Next - We have great luck with Cranberry and NuVET supplements:
