    I am extremely happy with feeding NULO and giving him distilled water in a dog fountain
    Since feeding NULO and using the Big Dog water fountain plus ph and specific gravity is perfect. I gave him ultra sounded ever 6 months

    I have a 9 year old Australian Shepherd and he got Silica bladder stones over 2 years ago. I made myself crazy researching dog food and nutrition! The sad part was is that there was not really a starting place. I too spoke to Minnesota every nutritionist across the United States. Minnesota told me that unfortunately because there are so few cases the research is very limited
    Soooo off I went Looking for what?? Sooo longer story cut short I have been feeding
    NULO it is a kibble out of Texas.
    Every6 months I have X-ray/ultrasounds done and so far so good.
    Really encourage a good water intake, One of my dogs favorite things to do was drink out of the hose so I bought him a big dog fountain so itā€™s running water all the time and he drinks it out of the spout which encourages the water intake. I give him distilled water only make sure if youā€™re giving them a supplements that it does not contain silicon dioxide so since my guy is nine he gets Xhosa Quinn caplets I pulled them apart and sprinkle it on his food because if you give them anything in a Tablet form it will contain silicon dioxide. His pH was off the charts before we started the Nulo Dog Food and his specific gravity was off the charts since we have started the Nulo Dog Food and have the water fountain he has been consistently stable I hope this helps you

    My dog had surgery 2 years ago for SILICA bladder stones to, it is very important to make sure they are getting a lot of water to help with the Specific Gravity and get the PH to 7
    Water to be given is DISTILLED only and when you fee them put in atleast a cup of water and let it it for about 15-20 minuets to absorb just to make sure they are getting tht water intake. My dog loves to drink out of a hose so I bought a BIG DOG fountain and it encouraged him to drink more.
    I feed NULO and we have had PERFECT check ups ever since. I feed NULO Sr. Trout but he also will get NULO Large dog chicken or Turkey. Make sure you do not feed any supplement that contains SILICON DIOXIDE- I feed COSEQUIN CAPSULS and pull them apart and sprinkle that on his food. Any chewable or soft chew will have silicon dioxide. This dog food save my dog because when they did not have results back I was feeding him chicken and rice which RICE was the worst thing- NO RICE
    I HOPE THIS HELPS.
