Dog won't eat vegetarian diet for bladder stones. Can I feed chicken?

Question

Hello, My 4 year old male Cane Corso just had surgery to remove bladder stones. My vet put him on a vegetarian diet but I am having trouble getting him to eat. I was giving him chicken breast with his dry food will that cause a problem? The stones were tested and they are cysteine stones. I need suggestions on what to feed him that he will like. Pet's info: Dog | Cane Corso | Male | neutered | 4 years and 3 months old | 130 lbs

I'm not sure why your vet put him on a vegetarian diet, i have never heard of such a preventive treatment for urinary stones. in my opinion you can give him chicken breast and this should not cause a problem, i would also recommend switching him to a prescription diet for urinary diseases, at least for a couple months.
