Bladder stones are collections of mineral crystals that combine together in the urinary tract. They can cause discomfort and lead to more serious problems that require the care of a veterinarian. Because the food your dog eats plays an important role in his or her overall health and well-being, Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians have developed clinical nutrition especially formulated to help support your dog's bladder health. Dogs need the right balance of minerals to maintain good bladder health. Excess minerals can encourage the formation of crystals in the urine, which can lead to the creation of bladder stones.
Key Benefits- Controlled levels of high quality, highly digestible protein reduces the risk of non-struvite stone formation
- Reduced levels of calcium helps limit the formation of bladder stones
- Added taurine and high levels of L-carnitine help maintain healthy heart muscle function
- Added antioxidants to control cell oxidation and promote a healthy immune system
- Promotes desirable urine pH levels and supports an overall healthy immune system

My veterinary put Buddy on this special diet after his bladder surgery about 8 years ago. He has not had even one issue and doing great. Being able to buy his food from Chewy.com has saved me from making numerous visits to the vet's office just to buy his food. Thank you!

My Pom-chi was diagnosed with Struvite stones in her bladder so after having surgery, my vet would only prescribe Hill's u/d dog food for her. I was reluctant as my dog has been fairly picky about her food in the past, however, she quickly has adjusted to the Hill's prescription diet and seems to really like it. Only time will tell if this really will prevent her from getting stones in the future, but for now it seems to be the right diet for her.

The Hills u/d was recommended by the vet due to congenital kidney/liver issues. Hoping to manage with this diet because there is no cure.

My dog wouldn't eat this food(he has always been picky, the food is great), but chewy was very helpful! I will continue to use chewy once we find a food he will eat!

My 5 year old Australian Labradoodle was switched to the UD after a recent bladder surgery. She was never a picky eater, so that was easy, but she loves this food in both dry and can. The Chewy prices can’t be beat, nor can it’s free/quick delivery.

Our dog was prescribed this as an alternative to royal canin’s version (which she has been on for years). I cannot get my dog to eat this and sadly because it is a prescription it is not returnable. She eats anything so it didnt occur to me to buy a small bag or get samples first. Just something for others to keep in mind.

My dog isn't a huge fan and won't touch it dry. However, it is mandatory that he be on this type of food and I much rather he eat this than develop bladder stones again. He is 10 years old and didn't have a great surgery the first time around. The price is unfortunate ($90 a month) But again it is mandatory and I love my dog and don't want him going through all that mess again....So it is what it is.

After trying everything else I moved my dog to this food per vets recommendation. I was skeptical because it is a mid grade food but it has fixed his crystals!!! He will be on this food for life. I have him on supplements to make up for the miss nutrition that my Newfoundland needs.
