My dog has struvite crystals. Can he still have bully sticks?

Question

Can my 7 1/2 month old Aussie/Chesapeake have a bully stick every now and then if he has Struvite Crystals? He had a UTI and it was treated but Crystals remained. We are working on getting rid of those now. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 7 months and 19 days old | 36 lbs

If you are currently trying to get rid of struvite crystals I would try to stick with the special diet your vet recommended until you got rid of the crystals. If they didn't put him on a special diet then I would just wait until they are resolved so you aren't complicating any of the progress. I don't know what type of food you are feeding Hershey, but I have commonly seen these types of crystals in dogs who are fed blue buffalo and less often, other high protein diets. So if you are feeding this, you may want to consider or talk to your vet about other long term diet options. I hope this helps!
