Is cystinuria in dogs treatable?

Cystinuria is treatable, and many dogs respond well to the available management options. Cystinuria can be treated with prescription diets and medications that aim to lower the acidity of the urine, making it harder for cystine crystals to form. If stones are blocking the urinary tract, there are both non-surgical and surgical procedures that can help. With the right treatment approach, most affected dogs maintain a good quality of life. Regular vet follow-ups help fine-tune the plan over time.
