Urinary Tract Infections

100% Natural Remedies for Urinary Tract Infections in Dogs

The urinary system includes the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. Urinary tract infections occur when bacteria enter the body through the urethra and move up into the bladder and sometimes even higher into the kidneys. If left untreated, urinary tract infections can eventually lead to kidney failure.

Symptoms of Urinary Tract Infections in Dogs

• Painful urination, inability to urinate or passing only a small amount of urine
• Bloody or cloudy urine
• Constant licking of the urinary opening
• Loss of bladder control or dribbling of urine
• Straining or crying out in pain when urinating

At NHV, we offer a wide range of plant-based remedies for your dog’s urinary tract infection that gives added support and is safe for long-term use. Find out more about natural support for urinary system disorders at NHV.

Functions of the Urinary System

• Rids your dog’s body of waste products 
• Maintains proper water and electrolyte balance
• Produces hormones that help with the following:
  • Maintaining a healthy blood pressure
  • Producing blood cells 
  • Processing vitamin D
  • Correctly absorbing salt

Bladder Infections in Dogs

When bacteria invade and infect the bladder, it is known as bacterial cystitis. This is common in older dogs with a weak immune system. The symptoms include:

• Frequent or difficulty in urinating
• Urinating in inappropriate places
• Blood in the urine

Contributing factors include dogs that have adrenal dysfunction and canines taking steroid medications. NHV’s vet-approved supplements provide holistic support along with vet-recommended treatment for your dog’s urinary tract infection.

Kidney Infections in Dogs 

When bacteria travel past the bladder and infect the kidneys, it is known as pyelonephritis which is caused by stones in the kidney or ureter. This condition is common in very young and senior age dogs with a weak immune system. The signs include:

• Fever
• Vomiting
• Excessive thirst and urination 

According to a recent study, you can boost your pet’s immune system naturally with NHV vet-formulated remedies for urinary tract infections in dogs.
