What to Give a Dog for Urinary Tract Infection

By Geraldine Dimarco


Dog urinary tract infections are common among a significant percentage of the dog population in the entire world. The culprits behind dog urinary problems are bacteria which have infiltrated the dog's body. Bacteria enter the dog's internal system through the food it eats and the water it drinks everyday. In some instances, bacteria gain access to the dog's urinary system through its external urinary openings. This is most common in female dogs because they have shorter urethra than their male counterparts, making it easier for bacteria to penetrate.

Like humans, dogs are prone to health problems. One health condition which poses a great risk for dogs is the urinary tract infection (UTI). Yes, you got it right! Dogs are also prone to urinary tract infection. You may not know it but your dog may be suffering from this health disease.

If you are hesitant to bring your dog to a veterinarian for financial or whatever reasons, you may use natural remedies to try to minimize your dog's infection or better yet, cure it. There is a very effective natural remedy for urinary tract infection in dogs.

How can your dog contract UTI? Dog urinary tract infection could arise when any of these types of bacteria get into your dog's body and overcome its immune system: proteus mirabilis, escherichia coli, pseudomonas, coagulase positive straphylococcus, esterococcus, or klebsiella. These types of bacteria could get into your dog's system through the food they eat and the water they drink everyday. Likewise, dogs can develop UTI through an instance called 'ascending UTI', a condition which occurs when the bacteria had gained access into the dog's internal system through its external urinary openings.

Another way to tell if your dog is showing signs of dog urinary problems in their early stages is to observe your dog while taking it out for a walk. Any sign of irregularity, such as cringing in pain, may be a sign that your dog has urinary problems. Foul-smelling urine, blood in the urine, tender bladder, and a reduction of the amount of the dog's urine are signs that you should bring your dog to the veterinarian immediately. If left untreated, your dog could suffer from a more severe case of infection and eventually die.

A combination of these natural ingredients can bring effective relief to canine urinary tract infection.

If you notice any of these symptoms in your dog, then chances are your dog has UTI. In such cases, it is best to bring your dog to the veterinarian so that it will be given proper medication. Do not try to give your dog antibiotics from your shelf, which are usually prescribed for humans as such medicines may not be advisable for dogs. It is always best to consult a veterinarian before giving your dog any medication.

The above-mentioned natural remedies for dog urinary tract infection are effective ways to help boost your dog's overall health and well-being. However, it is still best to consult a veterinarian for whatever health problem your dog encounters. The veterinarian is the only person who could assess the true condition of your dog and who could administer the right medication and dose required to ultimately improve your dog's condition.
