Struvite stones
My dog has struvite crystals. Vet has prescribed therapeutic diet. But it is very difficult to get her eat that. Can I mix 2-3 small peices of boiled chicken in it?

Prescription diet should not be mixed with other food. If you mix chicken, then the stone formation can not be prevented fully. I can understand the issue. Try to get some other alternative from your vet based on her current status

Changing diet at home is not advisable. Sit with your vet with recent reports and then after careful curation some changes may be made. Any unmanaged home-based diet may cause harm in her condition.

Chicken is not a good option in struvite stones, some pets don't eat dry kibbles because of the taste , you can try with prescription wet food or try consult with VETERINARY clinical nutritionist for home prepared diets for medical condition.
