What's the best food for a dog with urinary crystals besides Royal Canin?

Question

My small chihuahua had a UTI back in May, and had some lingering crystals in her urine a month later. I've had her on Royal Canin urinary so food since then, and my vet said it would be best to just keep her on that for forever. I'm looking fo a second opinion, hoping that maybe she could try something better, less processed, more wholesome. What would be your opinion on that? I definitely don't want her to develop more crystals or stones.
