My dog had suffered with struvite crystals. I went from prescription vet food, to making his food myself, but nothing seemed to keep them at bay very long, until I went to a holistic vet, whom I had visited with a previous dog.
He immediately put him on vitamin C twice a day, which I sprinkled on his food, and within a week they were gone and have stayed gone.
The dogs urine is too acidic or ph is not in balance. I purchased urine test strips and watched his PH stay in the normal range ever since we started the vitamin C.
I omitted all staches and grains in his food, make sure he goes potty every 3 or 4 hours and has clean bottled water.
I was kicked out of the first vets office because I challenges his prescription food, which told me the story behind his treating my dog.
I hope it works for you as it has for me!!!!! Y dog is 20 lbs. and I gave him 500 mg. of C 2X daily.
