As a veterinarian and pet owner, I had many of my patients and my pets with bladder stones. Billy, my 12-years-old dog recently had bladder stones. It was an emergency because it was lodged in his urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body). After unblocking Billy’s urethra and having all lab work done, I had to change his diet. Now, Billy is totally okay and enjoying his life with his other furry friends in Brazil. In this blog, I will share a little bit about bladder stones in dogs and cats to help pet parents going through this difficult moment.
Bladder stones are aggregations of minerals and other substances in the bladder. This is a quite common problem in dogs and cats, and unfortunately, it can in some cases lead to obstruction of the urethra and death.
Causes
Female dogs are predisposed to struvite stones.
The two most common types of bladder stones in dogs and cats are calcium oxalate stones and struvite stones (triple magnesium phosphate). Female dogs are predisposed to struvite stones. Calcium oxalate stones are more likely to develop in acid urine, whereas struvite stones are more likely to develop in alkaline urine. The complex interaction between the animal’s diet and stone formation affects the development of both types of stone. Urate stones are uncommonly encountered in cats and are usually associated with liver or vascular shunts. Other types of stone are rare in cats.
They may also develop secondary to other diseases, such as hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing’s disease) or hypercalcemia (high blood calcium). Urate stones occur with liver problems, such as portosystemic vascular shunts and other inherited defects of the liver.
Clinical Signs
For cats, frequent urination or frequent trips to the litter box, voiding of small volumes of urine, blood in the urine, discomfort on the urination, and urinating outside the litter box. Bladder stones may lodge in the urethra, causing a complete urinary obstruction.
Urinary obstruction is more common in male dogs and cats. Signs of obstruction include straining to urinate without producing any urine and abdominal discomfort. Urinary obstruction is an emergency.
Diagnostic Tests
Routine blood and urine tests and abdominal ultrasound and x-rays.
Treatment and Natural Support
Urinary obstruction is an emergency clinic. If your pet is not peeing, or if you see any blood in the urine, visit the vet as soon as possible. Struvite stones can often be dissolved by feeding a special diet. For example, a homemade diet formulated by a veterinarian or a prescription commercial diet. The pet must eat this diet exclusively while going through the treatment. Calcium oxalate stones cannot be dissolved with dietary changes or medication. The only effective therapy is the physical removal of the stones. With other types of stones, medications may be useful for dissolving them.
NHV Tripsy is a veterinarian-formulated supplement that is beneficial in lowering the risk of struvite crystals, a phosphate mineral found in urinary stones in cats and dogs as well as in reducing the risk of calcium oxalate crystals.

Description
Treatment of bladder stones in dogs and cats is needed to ensure kidney function. Stones are usually caused by an infection, but can also develop by metabolic abnormalities, like liver disease and high blood calcium levels, improper diet, or genetic conditions. Dog and cat urinary crystals can also form for similar reasons and can be quite common in pets. The combination of Tripsy and Milk Thistle will help flush stones, strengthen the liver, help relieve inflammation, and help promote urinary tract health, thereby aiding in bladder stone treatment in dogs and cats.
Tripsy provides urgent relief, including
- Soothing aid for flushing kidney stones
- Healthy support for kidney failure
- Assisting in the maintenance of healthy kidney function
- Encouraging urinary tract health
- Helping alleviate uncomfortable symptoms
- Helping inhibit infection
- Acting as an all-natural anti-inflammatory
And it’s suitable for long-term use.

I have two pugs Baylee & Bentlee.
Baylee had an issue with being allergic to chicken it was so bad we almost lost her due to unable to breath. I started making their food (Beef,rice, veggies) now for 3 months she had been fine when all of a sudden the vet put them onto Royal Caine SO with PH. Because they have urinary crystals. Baylee had a few kibbles for two days and sure enough she is reacting to the food again. I have discontinued this food for Baylee.
I just purchase the Milk thistle and tripsy
I sure hope this is the answer as they is nothing worse then seeing my pug sick

We think that Milk Thistle and Tripsy are great choices for your furkiddos as they can help to support healthy liver and kidney function. They can also help to reduce inflammation and can ease uncomfortable symptoms that can come from urinary crystals.
In addition to Milk Thistle and Tripsy, we think you could also add Stimmune to Baylee’s regimen as it’s our main support for food allergies. The herbs in this blend can help to ease symptoms and promote healthy immune activity.
