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

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.

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

The real benefit to using a pizza stone is it doesn't burn anything. It has to do with the porous nature of the stone. Retains heat and distributes it evenly.
The top of a pizza/cookie/tender/fry will burn before the side touching the stone does.

>I’m not sure why you’re saying a UTI caused crystals, that’s not a thing.
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.
