Struvite crystals in urine

I have heard from several of my puppy people whose dogs are on Acana and they are experiencing problems with stuvite crystals.  This includes the dogs living with me.  This is a first in over 16 years. 

Please write to me if you are experiencing this.  If you are not sure then your dog's urine can be tested in two ways.  First catch a sample  first thing in the morning and test for both infection and for ph level.  You don't need to go to the vet unless there is an infection.You can use the same strips that are used on people for both infection and ph.  They are available on line and at the drug store.
 
If you want to go to the vet for this, again, catch the sample first thing in the morning and DO NOT refrigerate.  

If you want more information email me.  We are in Florida at the moment so send me your number and best time for me to call you.

I am going to try to call the company sometime this week.
