My dog had surgery for struvite crystals. What food should I feed her?
Full Question:
My dog had surgery two weeks ago for Struvite Crystals. I am looking for a raw diet to switch her over to once she is cleared from the medical food my Vet has her on. What would you recommend from your products for her condition? I have another dog as well and I was wondering if they can still be on the same raw food diet once they are switched over?Thank You,
Kam
Cindy's Answer:
Read the article on feeding a raw diet. It’s a work in progress but there is a lot of good information there.
I would also recommend these books, Natural Nutrition for Dogs & Cats and Raw Dog Food. You can also go to our Feeding Dogs Page for a list of articles and books that will be helpful to you.
I am not a vet or health care professional, so I would hesitate to give you specific advice for your dog’s urinary problem. I have however successfully switched my cat to raw after he battled crystals in his urine a couple of years ago. I follow the guidelines in the books listed above, I didn’t go for a specific type of diet. I would think both of your dogs could eat the same raw diet without a problem though. If in doubt, check with a healthcare professional (just to be safe).
