Calcium oxalate stones are not easily dissolved through dietary means (or prevented, as far as I know), as struvite stones sometimes are. So, if your dog has them, it is usually necessary to remove these stones. It is supposed to be possible to remove many stones through a process called voiding urohydropropulsion but surgical removal is probably still the most common method of removing these stones.
Changing your dog's diet to one that is more nutritionally complete (ask your vet for further info) can help prevent more stones from forming (and prevent existing ones from enlarging). You can also start using a supplement high in calcium citrate.
Good luck!

I don't think so...
I think your urinary diets are going to be limited to the RX's like From Science Diet, Purina, etc.
Sorry...I could be wrong, but I haven't heard of any
