Kidney stones are formed by mineral crystals that may stay in the kidney or leave the body through the urinary tract, and they can either be extremely painful or entirely painless.

Types of Kidney Stones in Dogs
If the kidney stone contains calcium and oxalic acid, it is called a calcium oxalate nephrolith. These types of kidney stones are more predominant in Lhasa Apsos, Miniature Poodles, and Yorkshire Terriers.
If the kidney stone contains uric acid, they are called urate nephroliths, and are more predominant in Dalmatians, English Bulldogs, and Yorkshire Terriers.
You can find out if your dog breed is more susceptible at NHV Natural Pet Products. At NHV our herbal remedies for kidney stones in dogs contain 100% natural ingredients that contain no additives or preservatives, because we believe in supporting your dog’s health naturally.

Dog Breeds Susceptible to Kidney Stones
All dogs are prone to kidney stones, but some breeds tend to be at greater risk. For example, kidney stones containing calcium and oxalic acid (known as calcium oxalate nephroliths) are more likely to be found in Lhasa Apsos, Yorkshire terriers, and Miniature poodles. Kidney stones containing uric acid (known as urate nephroliths) typically affect Dalmatians, Yorkshire Terriers, and English Bulldogs.

Changing your dog’s diet may help prevent kidney stones, but it is vital to speak with your vet before making any dietary changes for your dog. At NHV our herbal remedies for kidney stones in dogs are plant-based and vet-formulated to help support your dog’s health and well-being.
