My pug has struvite stones. Royal Canin causes diarrhea. Food options?

Hiya my pug is susceptible to struvite stones and is on royal canin urinary s/o permanently, however she seems to have developed an intolerance to it, it's giving her diarrhea. Is there an alternative to that particular brand? Thanks. Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Female | spayed | 4 years and 6 months old | 14 lbs

Great question! Hill's Science diet has a diet called Hill's s/d that helps reduce the risk of struvite stone formation. I would speak to your vet to see if they feel that switching to Hill's s/d would be a good option for Smudge. Keep in mind as well that there are other causes of diarrhea in dogs, such as intestinal worms, GI illness, or eating something rotten so a health check with the vet would be a good idea to rule out a medical cause before considering switching foods. I would have her seen by a vet tomorrow. I hope this helps!
