Feeding for Dogs Prone to Urinary Crystals (Struvite / Calcium Oxalate) & Kidney Problems

If your dog is prone to bladder stones, urinary crystals or mild kidney weakness, feeding is the most important lever for keeping him healthy. With HelloBello, you have already laid an excellent foundation!


The most important factor: fluids
Conventional dry food draws water from the body. This makes the urine highly concentrated – the ideal breeding ground for crystals. Our freshly cooked HelloBello menus naturally have a high moisture content. This automatically helps "flush" your dog's system better, relieves the kidneys and dilutes the urine.


Which variety is the right one?
If there is a tendency toward urinary crystals or kidney problems, special attention must be paid to the content of phosphorus, magnesium and the pH value of the urine.
Since there are different types of stones (struvite vs. oxalate), we advise against general feeding recommendations. Please be sure to book a free consultation with our veterinarian. She will analyze your dog's findings and recommend exactly the menu that safely covers your dog's nutritional needs without putting strain on the urinary tract.
