The causes of urinary stones in dogs can be varied. Here are some possible causes:
Dietary issues: Your dog’s diet may affect the pH of his urine, leading to stone formation. Foods high in protein, calcium, and phosphorus may increase urine pH, leading to stone formation.
Insufficient fluid intake: If your dog doesn’t drink enough water, the water in his urine will decrease, which may lead to the formation of stones.
Genetic factors: Some dogs may have genetic factors that make them more likely to develop stones.
Disease problems: Some diseases, such as urinary tract infections, urinary tract obstruction and other problems, may also cause dogs to form stones.
If your dog develops urinary stones, it is best to take him to the veterinarian to determine the specific cause and take appropriate treatment. At the same time, paying attention to daily diet and water intake can also help prevent the occurrence of urinary stones.
