Hi - To help prevent kidney stones - a low grain or grain free diet is a plus along with a good Natural supplement.  A Probiotic will help prevent or lessen yeast bacteria.
Here is some help for you and your bichon kid......

Another option....
Grain free commercial foods:
Innova Evo or Wellness Core / even Merrick Before Grain.
They are all excellent foods for your little Bichon.

Next - a good supplement of Cranberry and 1 NuVET supplement per day-
