Bladder Stones - Dog

boltongirl1

My dog has just had an operation to remove bladder stones and a change in diet is now required my vet has recommended Royal Canin S/O wet food, however this is expensive compared to the dry Proplan she normally has.
Does anyone know where I can get this food at a good price?
£2.05 for 1 420gm can from the vet.

Thanks in advance.

how about here though of course it depends on postage.Will she have to stay on it a long time or just till she improves?

worked it out,on 12 tins you will only save 10p per tin.however if you ordered 24 and then something else cheap you won't have to pay postage,though they do say there is a surcharge on orders weighing over a certain amount!

I notice there is a dry food for the same problem,maybe that wouldn't be so expensive after the initial feeds

Waterfalls

hills also do a version. you start on sd to dissolve the stones then maintain on cd. have a look to see if these are any cheaper

She will have to stay on this diet long term to stop any reccurence of the stones. I normally feed her purina proplan dry food and my vet has ordered me 3kg of the purina equivilent @£19.00

Bladder stones and diet change

We had a lot of trouble with bladder stones with our Hannah (a Cairn terrier), including an instances of acute retention which could have killed her, but a change of diet to a bland and natural one seem to solve the problem on a life long basis. Most vets seem to favour a change of diet.

For a description of Hannah's problems and details of her case history please see -

Just read your account of Hannas life and looked at the pictures.
Tillie also a Cairn is the same colour Hannah was at 1 year old she is now nearly 5 and still the same colour it is now almost 5 months since her operation and she is fine I am feeding her on a dry urinary food made by Purina.
Thank you for posting your account of Hannahs life the pictures are a joy to look at
