“Do you recommend monitoring my dog ph level at home with ph strips?”

I never bothered with that. PH levels fluctuate, it takes at least a month to see a significant change.
If your vet advises routine PH testing, take the dog in about every 3 months, collect a urine sample if you can.
Otherwise the vet tech can strait cath him, only lakes a second and doesn’t hurt.
That would be the most accurate imo.
Once he has been symptom free for 6 months to a year, my vet said we didn’t need to do testing unless the dog had symptoms, he was a senior and had other issues that took priority.
