Urinary Dog Food

Urinary food for dogs is a specialised diet formulated to support the urinary tract. It works by adjusting the levels of key minerals, like calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, and controlling urinary pH which helps to minimise the formation of urinary crystals and bladder stones.

For dogs suffering from urinary crystals or other urinary tract issues, products like Royal Canin Urinary SO Dog Food, Hills Urinary Care Dog Food, Purina Urinary Dog Food, Calibra and Dechra are excellent choices. These diets are scientifically designed to support urinary tract health by balancing minerals and reducing crystal formation.

Always speak to your vet before feeding your dog a specilaised diet. If unsure on what to choose, your vet will be able to recommend a diet that is best for your dog.

Diets that are high in certain minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium can contribute to bladder stone formation in susceptible dogs.

It’s important to avoid generic dog food for urinary tract issues that isn’t formulated to manage mineral levels. Instead, opt for specialised urinary care diets and consult your vet for guidance on what foods to avoid for dogs with bladder stones.

The best dog food for calcium oxalate bladder stones is one that is low in calcium and oxalate while maintaining an optimal urinary pH. Specialised urinary care diets, often recommended by vets, are designed to meet these criteria and support dogs prone to calcium oxalate stone formation.

Sudden dietary changes can sometimes disrupt your dog’s normal routine, potentially leading to temporary urinary incontinence or changes in urinary habits. It’s important to transition gradually to any new food, especially one formulated for urinary health. We also recommend purchasing a dog urinary supplement to aid overall wellbeing alongside a healthy diet.
