How to Ensure Dog Bladder Health With a Smart Prevention Plan

Dog bladder health is critical to vitality and longevity. Since proper urine flow eliminates toxins from the body, it is integral to your pet’s well-being. If your dog is suffering with a urinary tract infection or bladder stones, then you need to know about treatment options, but also about prevention. In this article, you’ll learn about this and more.

Although dog bladder health concerns are more common in certain breeds and can be an issue for aging dogs, there are some simple steps prevention steps that can make a big difference in your dog’s life. First, make sure that your dog is fed healthy, unprocessed food. Many commercial brands are full of chemicals, pesticides, meat byproducts, dyes and cheap grains which can adversely affect the pH of the bladder. When the pH is out of the normal range, bacteria can grow and bladder stones can form leading to a host of problems.

It is better to feed your dog wet food than dry food because the moisture content makes the food easier to digest which means your dog gets more of the nutrients. If you want, you can mix kibble with canned food.

Another simple prevention method that promotes dog bladder health is fresh water. Give your dog a big, fresh bowl several times per day. Make sure to sanitize the bowl by washing it regularly in the dishwasher. Buy an inexpensive tap filter that will ensure that the water is not full of chemicals that can also alter the pH in the bladder.

For dogs that are currently suffering with urinary tract infections or bladder stones or dogs that are prone to these problems, good food and clean water are not enough. If you object to giving your dog antibiotics prescribed by your vet because you don’t want your dog to suffer the side effects, then natural remedies are a smart and effective alternative.

Actually, natural remedies have some clear advantages over prescription drugs. First, instead of suppressing symptoms with the hope that the body will heal itself, herbal remedies actually treat the cause and restore the pH of the bladder, so it can kill bacteria and dissolve bladder stones. Second, natural remedies have no side effects and will not interact with other medications. Third, natural remedies can be used both for treatment and prevention. This is particularly important for dogs that are prone to urinary issues.

Of course, any time you give your dog a supplement, it pays to do your research because not all remedies are formulated to the same exacting standards. Look for a supplement that contains quality ingredients that are known to be effective in creating dog bladder health. These ingredients include important herbs like Uva Ursi, Staphysagris and Cantharis. These herbs work synergistically to soothe inflamed tissues, eliminate pain, infection and bladder stones and restore the pH level that makes for a healthy bladder.

In conclusion, feeding your pet healthy, organic food, fresh clean water and giving your pet a natural remedy designed specifically to address dog bladder health concerns is a simple plan that is effective for both treatment and prevention.
