    I have a schnauzer who has had panreatitis and is therefore on a very low fat veterinarian dogfood however has just had struvite crystals removed from his bladder. Although there is a food to decrease his chances of getting further stones, it is quite high in fat. Any suggestions with respect to diet?

    If you go back to the dog food advisor, go to the suggested low fat foods.

    It’s important, regarding crystals, to insure your dog gets enough liquid. You can add water to dry foods or better, feed canned alone or with dry (if adding canned to dry, still add water) or feed a dehydrated food and/or raw.

    Make sure your dog has ample opportunity to urinate
