One of the most common problems seen in pets is dog's UTI problems. This along with bladder stones can cause pain and if not properly treated can become a life of misery. Although male dogs can get a urinary tract infections and stones, this is a problem that females get more often.
Additionally, smaller dogs tend to deal with this type of infection and problem far more than you would see with the larger dog breeds. Using natural supplements is an excellent way to get the issue taken care of and prevent future outbreaks.
Before we go into the different treatment and preventative measures you can take, we want to address the various causes. First, bladder stones are a unique combination of minerals to include struvite, calcium oxalate, crystine calculi, and ammonium urate. As these minerals build, they store up in the urethra, causing blockage. While the stones are bad enough, if not treated quickly, they can lead to additional health problems such as bladder inflammation known as cystitis.
Depending on the type of bladder stone your pet has will determine the treatment used. Since there are many types of stones, it is important to have the problem diagnosed, preferably by a homeopathic veterinarian. For instance, there are some bladder stones that respond quite favorably to diet change and natural supplements, which cause the stones to dissolve. However, there are other stones and severity of cases that require surgery.

Therefore, while it might not seem that important, fresh water daily plays a huge role in treating and preventing dog's UTI.
Providing your dog with outdoor time is another step you can take. Not only is daily exercise vital for a healthy dog, it also gives her time to potty so the bladder is completely emptied. If your dog is rushed, she may go potty but not fully. Over time, this remaining urine causes problems often seen in the form of dogs UTI problems. If you work or attend school, consider a neighbor or friend who can stop by to let your dog out once or twice while you are away.
Eliminating commercial food is also crucial. Most dry food brands are made with tons of chemicals such as preservatives, additives, and artificial flavorings and colorings. Loaded with high levels of protein and carbohydrates are horrible for your pet's health so you want to switch
Finally, find a reputable homeopathic veterinarian, someone who uses only natural ingredients and supplements to treat such infections. With the infection now eliminated from the dog's body, giving her a daily supplement will stop the problem from ever coming back.
