Urine pH reflects the acid-base balance of the body. A pH between 5.5 and 7.0 is typical for dogs on a standard diet.
Very acidic urine (pH below 5.5) can occur with high-protein diets, acidosis, fever, or starvation. It can increase the risk of calcium oxalate crystal formation.
If your dog has a history of urinary crystals, acidic urine may need to be managed. Discuss diet modification with your vet to reduce oxalate stone risk.

Canine urine pH: 6.5Alkaline urine (pH above 7.0) is often seen with urinary tract infections (especially with urease-producing bacteria like Proteus or Staphylococcus), plant-based diets, or after meals. It increases the risk of struvite crystal formation.
Your vet may recommend a urine culture to rule out a UTI. If crystals are present, a special diet to acidify the urine may help prevent struvite stones.
