Food Question with High PH - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hey Yorkie Friends,

My guy has been diagnosed a long time ago with a high ph level in his urine that could lead to crystals, so the vet put him on Hill Rx....after finally researching I found out that food was not good for him..so I started feeding him Canidae and I add a cranberry supplement for his condition...this was the advice of a representative at Canidae.
within 2 weeks he didnt even itch anymore, his coat was better..and no problems with his urine..here is the problem its not easy to find canidae where I live..So I wanted to switch to something else...he doest like dry formula's..I was thinking Chicken Soup....any suggestions

Hi, I know this feeling sooo well. When this happened to Jazzie I switched her to Innova, she has been much better. I have to watch her water intake and I use a cranberry powder that you put in the drinking water, it seems to help. Recently Innova has come out with a lower protein, lower fat food, I am going to try that when Jazzie is done with her current Innova.
I wish you luck, in my research I have read that some pups are more prone to uti's than others.
