Hello there! It sounds like you're doing your best to help your dog with urinary crystals by using a specialized diet. Despite being on Hill's c/d food, crystals can still form due to several reasons. The most common causes include insufficient water intake, genetic predisposition, or even stress affecting urinary health.
To help at home, ensure your dog is drinking plenty of water. You might try adding water or low-sodium broth to their food to encourage more fluid intake. Also, providing multiple clean water bowls around the house can entice your pup to drink more.
Keep an eye out for signs that need an urgent vet visit, such as straining to urinate, blood in the urine, or frequent licking of the urinary area. These symptoms can indicate a blockage, which is a medical emergency.
If these issues persist, it’s important to explore other potential factors and treatments. I recommend scheduling a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. They can offer tailored advice and help find the best solution for your furry friend.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
