I am so sorry to say this but, no. The reason for the stone formation is improper urine pH. The improper pH is often from urinary infections, improper diet or a combination of both. The special dog food she is eating now is specifically formulated to keep the urine pH at a constant normal level to help prevent the formation of stones. The diet is not 100% effective but it is your best chance at minimizing the chance of them recurring. It is strongly recommended that you NOT feed her anything at all but the special diet. Many of those special diets have treats available of the same formulation. Outside of that, definitely not. Hope this answers your question. Best wishes.
