Karen J,

Keep in mind that “In healthy dogs, more than 50% of urine samples will contain
struvite crystals without a bacterial urinary tract infection and without subsequent urolith formation ”

Personally, if my dog had struvite crystals in the urine and infection was not present I wouldn’t be the least bit concerned.
