Kidney Stones in Dogs: What You Need to Know. Kidney stones form in dogs for a few different reasons. The different causes ultimately predict which type of nephro (kidney) + lith (stone) is most likely to form. And the type of stone affects what treatments might help. Dogs with small kidney stones really may show no signs at all.
The first thing to do for a pet with crystals or stones is to create a healthy urine pH that is neither too acidic nor too alkaline. A pH of 7 is neutral. Everything above 7 is alkaline, and everything below 7 is acidic. Dogs and cats, as carnivores, should have a slightly acidic urine pH, optimally between 6 and 6.5.
