Expert Answer
A dog may develop bladder stones for many reasons, such as poor diet, insufficient water intake, and urinary tract infection. If the dog often eats high-protein or high-salt food, urine salt concentration may rise and promote stone formation.
In addition, low water intake concentrates the urine and raises stone risk. Also, diseases like urethritis or cystitis increase crystal matter in the urine and form stones.
