Bladder & Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis)

At a Glance

A species-appropriate diet for dogs emphasizes foods that align with canine digestive biology and nutritional needs. It prioritizes nutrient-dense ingredients, adequate high-quality protein and fat, appropriate moisture, and forms of nutrients the body can readily absorb and use. Because dogs vary widely in age, breed, activity level, and health status, species-appropriate feeding functions as a flexible framework rather than a single prescribed diet.
