Simple Dog UTI Home Remedies That Experienced Pet Owners Use

By Geraldine Dimarco


Urinary tract infection in animals is not a lethal condition that you should worry about. However, it does pose a problem to those whose budgets are as tight as the collar you fasten around Fido's neck. An effective dog urinary tract infection home remedy is a good alternative treatment to use. Read on for valuable dog UTI home remedies that have been successfully used by experts from all parts of the world.

1. One of the most uncomplicated dog UTI home remedies is none other than water. That's right-supplying your dog with distilled water throughout the day will help heal your dog faster. Water flushes out harmful toxins and bacteria that are being transmitted to the bloodstream of the canine through ingestion of contaminated food. Never give tap water, or water that has been left in the open for too long. These may contain chemicals or substances that will further aggravate the animal's internal system.

Do not give tap water as this may contain chemicals that may further do some damage to the canine's internal organs. Also, when you give your dog plenty of water, make sure that he is able to eliminate this as often as possible. Bacteria is found in the urine and the longer the animal holds his urine in, the higher the possibility of infection the animal may have. Bring your dog out to do his business frequently to avoid UTI.

2. Citrus beverages are also beneficial in lowering the quantity of bacteria in your dog's system. This is because citrus is very acidic, which works to kill and neutralize the bacteria in the urine. Examples of these are cranberry, lime and orange juice.

Apple cider vinegar is a popular remedy many people use to treat UTI for humans and canines both. In your dog's water dish-put in half a teaspoon of the apple cider vinegar and mix it in thoroughly. Do this for three days. This also eases the pain of the sufferer of urinary tract infection.

3. It goes without saying that you should give your dog clean food every day. Do not serve him table scraps or leftovers. Throw away any uneaten food, especially those that have been left out in the open for a long time. Bacteria may be sitting on the chow and will be harmful for the dog when he eats it.

Discuss with your vet the natural dietary supplements that can boost the immune system of your dog. A healthy dog is resistant to attacks of harmful organisms that attack his normal internal functioning. Your pet will be able to fight the infection and stay strong with an excellent immune system.

4. Make sure that you develop good hygiene habits. Let him take baths often, especially if you think he has UTI. Take special care of the genital area; wash it well regularly. It will help if his living arrangement is as clean as possible.

Female dogs are more likely to develop UTI because they have a shorter urethra-meaning it is easier for the bacteria to travel throughout their internal organs. But male dogs are not exempt from this condition. When you wash their genital areas, trim and groom it as well to lessen the chances of bacteria to thrive on it.

5. Bring your pet outside for daily walks. Not only will this be good for his physical fitness and increase vitality; it provides you great opportunity to have him empty his bladder often. Have fun while you're at it-quality time is never wasted time.
