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

[Hope Paulos]

She's eating natural balance lamb and brown rice. I switched her from Aboddy 
New York Natural Lamb and Rice (recommended by Fidelco) because she was 
having digestive issues. Spoke with trainer, and he recommended natural 
balance. This is a food with a limited ingredient diet for dogs who have 
allergies and digestive issues. I think I'm going to call them today to see 
what they say. I'll write more when I speak to them.
