Likely the reason why Sandy hasn't had any urinary infections is because the diet is helping prevent them. I've seen it where owners take their pet off the prescription food because they aren't having any more problems, but once off the food, the problems return. In my opinion, I would not recommend taking her off of the food, but if you would like to, I would speak with your vet about an appropriate food to feed Sandy instead since they were the ones to prescribe it to her in the first place.
