Hi folks,

I have a 4 year old Miniature Schnauzer. A few months ago, he had
surgery to remove 5 stones from his bladder. The stones were analyzed
and found to be Calcium Oxalate.

My question is: what do people recommend for a diet for this
condition? He's been on the Royal Canin Urinary SO diet for a few
months now. I've heard so many bad things about RX diets (full of
fillers and less than desirable ingredients) and there are many
questions as to whether these types of diets even work for these types
of stones.

To add to it all, my new vet only carries Science Diet, no Royal
Canin. I'm questioning whether I want to switch to that food.

If anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it. I don't want my little
guy to have to endure another surgery but I also don't want to feed
him crap if it's not even going to help.

TIA,
Jen




It IS going to help. Diet is the the remedy for calcium oxalate crystal
prevention. The fillers are FIBER, and fiber is a critical part of the
digestive process.

It was added for a reason.

Your previous fiber free diet didn't work out so well and caused long term,
life long health issues. So why not give it a try?
