struvite crystals

Question
My 4 year old dog recently had surgery for removal of struvite crystals. The vet recommended we change her dog food to Royal Canine SO or Science Diet c/d. I'm looking for an alternative dry dog food that doesn't have so many artificial additives.

Answer
Good afternoon, Sally.

In general, you do want to feed a high quality, meat based food with minimal to no grains.

Ideally, adding a high quality meat based canned food would be even better.

Do make sure to keep an eye on your dog's urine PH and if she has had a recent infection, do have her urine checked again to make sure there is no infection still present.
