Get yourself a gem faceting machine and you could polish those piss stones and make a nice studded collar for the dog.

My dog had a UTI and developed bladder stones from that. It didn't have anything to do with diet.

Your dog needs to drink more water and go outside more often.
UTI are a sign his holding it in for long periods of time

Oh damn. My dog had those. I can’t remember how many she had but wow. I had no idea they looked like that!
Edit: I’m **trying think what I changed in her diet. She was always a good water drinker and on a good potty schedule. I know I changed up her dry kibble from commercial big box brand and added in a bunch of supplements. I think I added in some fresh stuff too. She was 13 when she has surgery. She lived to 18. It’s funny how quickly I’ve forgotten all the pampering and extras I used to do now that she’s gone.
Edit: autocorrect and missing words

Yes, holding it in for long periods of time means the bacteria has longer periods of time to proliferate and wreak havoc, causing the UTI.

Bladder stones are caused from a high urine pH. There are specific diets that lower urine pH making it more acidic and therefore dissolve the crystals. I’m not sure why you’re saying a UTI caused crystals, that’s not a thing.
There are certain dog breeds more prone to crystals (like Dalmatians).

Struvite bladder stones form when minerals in your dog’s urine become concentrated, which causes them to stick together and form crystals.
This often happens as a result of complications from a UTI. UTIs change the acidity of your dog’s urine to a high pH and prevent the minerals from breaking down properly. Struvite crystals are the most common type of bladder stone in dogs.

No, it was caused by a bacteria infection that had nothing to do with holding it in.

No one’s arguing that it wasn’t bacteria, they’re simply saying that “holding it” rather than just going outside can result in a build up of bacteria and/or poor hydration, that results in a UTI, which is a fact for pretty much all animals.

I can’t remember if it was that her bathroom habits noticeably changed or if she started vomiting yellowish/white foam. It was probably both but the vomiting is what had me take her in to the vet.
I just remember them calling and saying she had a bladder full of stones - most of them quarter size.
I had never heard of bladder stones in a dog and immediately started googling for info.
I don’t remember the vet being super helpful in suggesting ways to prevent it from happening and really, why she got them. Which as annoying.

Damn. I feel this. My little 4 year old / 13 lb guy had only three stones removed last year. They were about the size of the second row. He's on Hill's Prescription diet now and I'm making sure he gets plenty of liquid. I resisted the expense of the food at first, but with his litter mate brother passing recently and not wanting him or me to go through the stones surgery again, I'm sucking it up and sticking with the canned Hills c/d food.
Good luck to your little guy/gal.

Yes, I’m aware. That’s frequent UTIs. It takes a long times for that to happen. A one time uti won’t do that.

You obviously didn't know that - and that's OK. An untreated UTI can form crystals in weeks. That is what my vet told me, if you google it you will get the same answer.
