My neutered Miniature Schnauzer had a chronic urinary tract infection for 5 whole years before I saw someone online with a similar story claiming this product fixed it. I'd been to the vet and tried EVERYTHING, so this couldn't hurt. It was completely GONE in 3 weeks!! I am astounded! When I adopted my male German Shepherd, he had a similar problem, and it's a perfect fix for him too! I couldn't recommend this product more! I really tried everything to solve the Schnauzer's problem... He oozed nasty stuff on the bed and literally would stand there dripping in the vet's office and had trouble urinating. He was on special diets, medications, routine cleanings (painful) and nothing worked, until I tried this product. I just wish I discovered this 5 years ago! Both dogs are healthy now, and have a balanced pH, so no stones (even though Miniature Schnauzers are very prone to stones)! I give it to them regularly about once a week to maintain their urinary health and it couldn't work better!

I adopted a female dog 1 1/2 years ago. She came to me with Struvite Crystals. I was sure we could get rid of them with a proper diet, but after going through four different types of food and no change, I was at my wits end. I refuse to put her on the prescription diets that the vets sell as a complete and balanced diet, when the truth is, not only are the diets junk, but the manufacturers themselves admit that they are not meant as a long term diet due to their lack of protein. I had resorted to putting cooked rice and green beans on top of every serving of dog food, which was a pain and while it lowered the amount of crystals in her urine drastically, it didn't completely get rid of them. Then the owner of the pet supply store I purchase my dog food from suggested Berry Balance. I know Solid Gold makes good dog food, but they also make a lot of supplements that I feel are un-necessary, so I was skeptical of whether or not it would help, but decided to give it a shot.

The first week she was on it, I only put it on her morning time food, not her evening food and I missed a few days at that. Exactly seven days after starting it, I took her to the vet for an unrelated issue and had them check her urine.....NO CRYSTALS. I couldn't believe it. I was having them check it so I could get a baseline to check against after a few months on the product. I couldn't believe. One year of battling this issue and it was taken care of with a tiny bit of Berry Balance over one weeks time. I know that I'll probably have to continue giving her Berry Balance for the rest of life to control the crystals, but it's a lot easier than making food to go with her dry food every day and it has nothing but whole, healthy ingrediants in it. I'm VERY pleased with this product.

After the vet found struvite crystals in our German Shepherd's urine they put him on a 6 week crash diet of disgusting canned food with high acidity to break down the crystals. They wanted us to keep him on a prescription diet for the rest of his life, but the quality of the food was low, despite how expensive it was. We put him back on regular food, but 6 mo. later the crystals were back. We found the berry balance and have had him on that for about 6 mo. Just got tested last week and NO CRYSTALS! Much cheaper and less traumatic way to treat struvite crystals.

My female toy poodle was having difficulty making it through the night without urinating. I discovered that she had high ph urine readings. Within a few weeks of starting her on the Berry Balance she normalized and has no problems now for three months. Excellent product.

Keeps our dog's chronic UTIs in check. Vets cannot figure out his problem and we were tired of spending thousands on vet bills and medicine, not to mention the issue of keeping a dog on medicine. Their quality control may not be the best though. This is the second time I've ordered it and the supplement is darker this time and our dog likes it less. If you have a picky eater it may be a problem.

I have been using this for YEARS to manage the pH of my dogs urine. I had one girl with struvite crystals and an allergy to corn. The Rx food was out due to the allergy and made me leery anyway due to the fact it could swing her pH and make her oxalate crystals instead so I found this instead. Within a month her pH was normal and the crystals were gone. It manages to keep UTIs at bay as well when my crew rotates through antibiotics. This stuff is just really invaluable for a dog owner.

My cat was experiencing some urinary issues. This was recommended by a friend. So far my cat is doing better.

This product makes it possible for my dog to eat a normal diet without experiencing the pain caused by struvite crystals when urinating. A heaping spoonful of this product in her twice-daily meals does the trick. Before finding Solid Gold Berry Balance, I was feeding her a vegan diet--difficult for me, unnatural and unsatisfying for her. Now she can have a natural canine diet without pain.

My mini longhaired dachshund had a bladder full of stones (formed from sturvite crystals) which required surgery. Of course I was told that she may get them again and to keep her on a perscription type of dog food which is absolutely made of the worst crap and has hardly any nutritional benefits. ANYWAY, I read online about this product and took a chance. In additon to a high protein diet (Natural Balance), distilled water only and Solid Gold Berry Balance, she has not developed any stones and in fact in December 2010 she had no signs of Struvites (the component of the stones).

I am not saying this is the miracle cure but it has helped my little girl. Currently we are waiting for a test to re-check for the Sturvites. Ultra-sound yesterday clearly showed no signs of stones:)

I know i was a stress mess when I found out about her bladder stones and did all the research I could in order to prevent this from happening again. Berry Balance kept coming up in the research so I am a fan!

Still had to go to the vet to get some medicine and wipes. From what I have read the supplement does work. I have no issues with it but I am not sure if my Huskey is getting any benifit.
