This is the perfect solution for anyone that wants to make a nutritionally balanced, low oxalate homemade dog food. Oxalate stones are the result of having a urine PH that's too acidic (under 5). It can be caused by diet or medications, but in most cases is thought to have a strong genetic component. There's no cure for oxalate stones and once they become large enough to interfere with a dogs ability to urinate (an obvious life threatening situation), surgical removal becomes the only treatment. If you have a breed that's prone to developing this type of stone or a dog who's PH is regularly too acidic, then prevention is the best plan. Breeds that are most at risk are Poodles, Lhasa Apso’s, Schnauzers, Yorkshire Terriers, Shih Tzu’s and the Bichon.
K9 Food Balancer's Low Oxalate kit will give your dog the best nutrition for his unique needs. This recipe calls for high quality protein in lower amounts than our Healthy Dog diet, it's naturally high in moisture, rich in minerals including potassium, low in oxalate containing ingredients, and we use a form of calcium called calcium citrate that minimizes the availability of calcium in the urine to prevent it from binding to the oxalic acids that form these stones in the first place.
