If your dog is prone to calcium oxalate stones, nutrition can play an important role in reducing the risk of recurrence.
Calcium oxalate stones are one of the most common types of urinary stones in dogs. They are particularly common in middle-aged and older dogs, with some breeds being more predisposed than others.
Once formed, calcium oxalate stones cannot generally be dissolved with diet, making prevention an important part of long-term management.
A low-oxalate diet is designed to reduce the amount of oxalate available to the body while still providing the nutrients your dog needs.
What this diet is designed to address
- Lower dietary oxalate
- Appropriate calcium levels and calcium source
- Adequate dietary moisture
- Proper calcium-to-phosphorus balance
- Appropriate protein from whole-food sources
- Controlled dietary fat, as fat is a contributing component in the formation of calcium oxalate stones
- Complete vitamin and mineral nutrition
Our Low Oxalate Meal Kit uses carefully selected, lower-oxalate ingredients along with calcium citrate and the essential vitamins and minerals needed to properly balance a homemade diet.
The formulation also takes fat content into account, as dietary fat is part of the overall stone composition in calcium oxalate cases. This helps ensure the diet is not only low in oxalate, but also appropriately balanced in the other key factors involved in stone risk.
The result is a nutritionally complete foundation that allows you to feed fresh, whole-food ingredients while keeping the overall diet appropriately low in oxalate.
Who is this diet for?
The Low Oxalate Canine Meal Kit is intended for dogs with a history of calcium oxalate stones or dogs who need a lower-oxalate diet as part of a veterinary-directed prevention plan.
For these dogs, the goal isn’t simply to remove one ingredient or restrict the diet as much as possible.
It’s to provide a balanced diet that supports adequate hydration, appropriate mineral balance, controlled fat levels, and lower dietary oxalate, while still allowing your dog to enjoy a fresh, whole-food diet.
