Hi Jesse, Yes, I can help - You can go with SoJo's grain free home cooking - very easy - YOU add lightly cooked meats to the SoJo mix.
The green bag is the Grain - FREE bag - see here:

We get free shipping right to our door.
Also, they make 2 nice Grain free dog food treats.

Next - do a the SoJo feeding and add some NuVET powder supplement to the SoJo - just 1/2 a teaspoon per day - mixed into the dog food or mix into some PURE canned pumpkin.  Pure canned pumpkin is good for the bowels- adds fiber.

NuVET is holistic - see here:

As for the PetsLife oral spray - good product -  also, the NuVET Plus does help with dental health and urinary health.

BEST luck

QUESTION: Marie, you didn't say and I don't want to assume, but is the sojo compatable with the urine crystals?  Thank you very much.  Also I have other problems with Mandy and we are taking her to see a truama vet tomorrow.  Maybe I will discuss this with you later.  Do I stay in contact thru allexperts or do you have another email?  Thanks again.  Jesse Latham

Answer
Hi again , Yes, the GRAIN free feeding and white meats added to the SoJo mix are fine for kidney stones and crystals.
The problem with stones and crystals are TOO many grains and corns - also - NOT enough moisture.
The SoJo green bag is grain free - YOU get the benefit of GRAIN free and the Benefit of moisture with adding your own low fat white meats like lamb and turkey.
SoJo is found at many pet stores all over the world or here:
