bladder infections and struvite crystals

My name is Ellen, and I have 2 pups. Jessy is my 51/2 month old OES, and Ozzie is his 4 yr. old brother [cocker spaniel]. Just writing this message for anyone out there that might have problems with their babies having bladder infections, kidney stones, or struvite, bladder crystals. My Ozzie has a problem with alkaline urine wirh ph of 7.5 or greater, + protein and struvite crystals in his urine for the 3 yrs I've had him. After changing his food to science diet renal, increasing his fluid intake,' and cranberry pills, nothing worked. Then I found this amazing product on line called Cranimals. This pure cranberry extract.......is the greatest thing and it works!!!!!!!! Ozzie has been receiving 1 tsp of Cranimals for 3 months. It is a powder, and is sprinled on his food daily. It is weight based.] 2 days ago, I took a urine sample to the vet. The results shocked the vet. Ozzie's urine ph is 5.5, no protein in his urine struvite crystal free. [struvite crystals are formed when the urine is too alkaline, normal in dogs is 6.0-7.0] This was great news Ozzie has not had a pee accident [from the crystals in 2 months] I wonder if his peeing in the house was a reason he was in rescue.??!!
Again just wanted to share news that might be helpful to any of our babies.
Ellen,Jessy and Ozzie

That is great news and interesting to know if I ever need it. Thanks for sharing. I have heard of people who had to start using bottled water for their babies who had issues and that helped their babies. You all know I mean our fur babies when I say babies, right? :D
Great news! Anything that makes our furbabies more comfortable and keeps them from peeing in the house!! Hopefully as he gets older he'll outgrow this UTI problem.
Thanks for the info.
Sounds like an amazing turn around.
Just ordered it. My Shiba Inu has been so embarrassed peeing in the house...maybe leaking too because of the crystals. Nothing works! I hope this will do it!
Forgot to add Thanks for sharing, Ellen, I've been searching for help for her.
