We used to feed purina and the vet scolded us and told us not to use it. Haven't had the problem since. Hope the pup gets some relief.


I have her on Nature's Recipe, which I have read is very good for dogs. I'm switching her (over the next week - haven't started yet) to Royal Canin, as I have read that it is even better.

You never told us the prognosis. I am assuming it did just turn out to be a bladder infection, right?

Sometimes it can be food related but you stated changing her food so this might be something to keep an eye on.

This is not that good of a dog food. Sure it will make a turd, but there is far better out there for a better price. Most Royal Canin first ingredient is a cereal rice by product. Grains are not good in dogs, tho most breeds will tolerate it just fine. Kinda like humans and corn. You want a meat for the first ingredient if at all possible.

The food she is currently on is much better than the one you want to switch to for what its worth. Dog Food Advisor

Our small dog had a bladder stone about 2 years ago that caused his urine to have blood in it. The stone had to be surgically removed and he has to eat a special diet now. The only store bought food he could eat after this was Science Diet for his specific condition. After researching what's in Science Diet we just started making his food with ingredients low in oxilates. Never been healthier..

I wouldnt think a 3 month old pup would have a stone though.
