 pH is 8.0 and so needs to be more acidic. I am struggling to find information on dosing other than it is 2.5-15mls dependant on body weight.

&lt;p&gt;I come across/get referred cases on this from time to time. I believe it contains methionine as an acidifier.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The short answer to your question is that yes, the dosing suggestions are very wide so I think increasing it will be fine (in terms of safety, not necessarily in terms of efficacy...). It may be worth checking that this sample wasn&amp;#39;t shortly after eating as urine can be temporarily alkaline at that time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The long answer is that most of the cases I see on this have alkaline urine because they have a urinary tract infection which has never been treated or never been resolved. So ideally I would reconsider why the dog takes this in the first place and whether there may be more that can be done to resolve an underlying disease.&lt;/p&gt;
