Urate Kidney & Bladder Stones

• Talk to your vet about your dog’s HUU result so you can work together to plan ongoing care and monitoring.
• Your vet may recommend a special diet to help reduce uric acid levels and prevent urinary stone formation.
• Make sure your dog has access to plenty of fresh water and regular opportunities to urinate.
• Watch for changes in urination, such as straining, accidents, or blood in the urine, and contact your vet if you notice any of these signs.
