We had routine labs done on Darcy recently, because she is nearly 8 yrs old. She had no symptoms, but turned up with "a few crystals" in urine, so she's on Royal Canin SO for urinary tract. I really hope that's not all she can have, forever! :E We re-test in 3 weeks.
My little Havanese had this problem and I did not like the ingredients in many of the vet recommended food. I fed one of Fromns food and I think it was their Gold Weight Management. What you can do is email the companies that make quality food and ask what their target urine PH is for their food. I believe the target urine PH for dogs is 6-6.5. I also gave 250mg of vitamin C each day, plus added warm water to the dry food to get more fluid in him. Interesting discussion at this link http://community.dog.com/f/29544/t/27665.aspx You can buy spa or pool ph tester strips to check her at home between vet visits. Hope Darcy is better soon!
