Re: bladder stones

She has recovered but they want to keep her on this expensive diet for life. I have heard bad things about science diet and don't want to keep her on this for the rest of her life.

Re: bladder stones

She was having a hard time urinating and wen she did it was very small amounts and seemed painful. they did exrays and could see the stones. As they broke up she passed them as well. But now they want to keep her on this food for life. I can't afford it and need an alternative.

Re: bladder stones

dont feed her high protein food find the lowest one you can
i have to give my dog low protein as its a breed that can get crystals and stones easy and are known for it,
i found greyhound food one of the lowest just the normal one, not the racing food

Re: bladder stones

I know it's not the most appetising but Chappie is very low protein (5.5%), also it's cheap and readily available from most supermarkets. I don't know if it would be suitable for you dog so you would probably have to ask your vet first.
