|
|
My puppy is diagnose with struvite crystal and the vet is putting him on a special diet from Royal Canin called Urinary S/O.
However, I'm not a fan of Royal Canin due to the recall of their products last year. Also, I was told that Royal Canin Urinary S/O is not suitable for growing puppy.
Is there any other commercial food product that I can feed my puppy, which can help dissolve the crystal?

| Yup, vitamin c is not stored in significant amount in the body of the animal and is excreted via the urinary system as ascorbic acid (if i am not mistaken) thus being an acid it does naturally reduces the pH of the urine. |
