My dog eats high protein food. Can this cause UTIs or bladder stones?

Question

Can dogs get UTI from high level of protein on their food?

Jennifer Summerfield, DVM CPDT-KA · Accepted Answer

Hi there. No, there is no evidence that a dog's susceptibility to UTIs would be influenced one way or the other by protein levels in the diet. High protein diets are often associated with more acidic urine, which can increase the risk for certain types of bladder stones - but not UTIs, directly.
