What is the best holistic canned dog food for a Yorkie that has had problems with bladder stones?

My Yorkie has had issues with stones, the vet wants to put him on Royal Canin Urinary prescription food, i looked at the can and the food is garbage. Anyone maybe know of a holistic food that would be good for that problem, has to be canned food.

Yes most all of the prescription foods for things are garbage.
However they do exactly what they are supposed to do and that is prevent stones.
Most dogs do fine on the them even though they are not the highest quality.
When a dog has serious health issues you have to look at what will stop the body from forming stones. If it takes a prescription food then that would be better than having to have stones removed over and over.

I have a cat who had them. She has been on one of the prescription food and she does fine. She looks great and has a beautiful coat and has not had any issues for more than 2 years. Before that she was eating a very high quality holistic food and had to have stones removed twice.

Don't bother, just boil chicken and add to steamed whole grain rice.

I had a very good homemade version of Hills for stones - it was cooked best hamburger, rice, white bread (amazingly because I thought brown was better for dogs!), and hard cooked egg. I used to make this up in big batches and freeze it. Bit of a chore, but more appetising than Hills Prescription for most dogs, and def. cheaper.

If you are in the UK you could try Burns helpline ….. they are very 'helpful' lol. But of course, push their own brand because they want to sell it to you!
