[nagdu] Question about decreasing acidity in dog's urine

[Tracy Carcione]

I have heard that cranberry is good for urinary infections, but she
doesn't have one of those, and cranberry seems acidic to me.  But I
mention it, in case it might be helpful.  What food is she eating now? I
think meat is on the acid side, and grain is not.  But I know sheppies
tend to have digestive issues, and need the right food even more than
most, so, if it's working for her...
Sorry, I'm not helping.
