Honestly, as I mentioned in your other thread it really would be best for you to hang out either on Monica Segal's board (or her Yahoo group) or on Mordanna's board simply so you can learn more about the condition. You may simply need to acidify your dog's diet a bit.
Even a consult with Monica is only about 2 weeks worth of the diet you're using -- now home cooking isn't going to be cheap. But even hanging out on her Yahoo board will help you.
Struvite crystals are not horrible. Really they aren't. They are FAR FAR easier to cope with than oxylate crystals. (those usually can't be prevented easily and they are genetic more than dietary)
Treats really shouldn't be a problem either -- not unless there are more urinary problems than the vet has described to you.
