Does cat food make dogs have kidney stones?
There is currently no evidence to show that dogs who eat cat food (either on occasion or frequently) develop kidney problems solely due to the food. Kidney stones can be caused by several factors, such as urine that is too concentrated (often due to dehydration), or urine that is more alkaline than acidic. Some breeds of dog, such as Yorkshire Terriers, Miniature Poodles, Dalmatians and English Bulldogs seem to be more susceptible to the condition. Diets high in grain and vegetables produce alkaline urine, which allows certain stones to form. Struvite stones for instance, dissolve in an acid urine, requiring a diet low in magnesium and high in protein. Different stones can require different treatments in order to manage them and prevent them reoccurring.
