You love your dog. Weak bladder symptoms, like leaking or peeing on
the floor can be embarrassing for your dog and can try your patience,
making you last out at your dog when it's not his fault. In this
article, you'll learn how to put a stop to bladder control issues.
Symptoms of a dog with weak bladder problems can include dribbling
and/or involuntary leaking of the bladder. Typically this is caused by
an infection in the urinary tract or by bladder stones. By maintaining
a proper pH in the bladder, you can prevent the formation of stones or
crystals and the growth of bacteria (which cause urinary tract
infections.)
Treatment for a Dog with Weak Bladder Syndrome
There are three steps to treating a dog that has trouble controlling
the bladder. Since food and herbal remedies can control the pH of the
bladder and since crystals and infections form when the pH is out of
whack, the best course of action is to use food and natural remedies
as a means of controlling the pH. Below are the three steps you need
to take:
* Feed your dog healthy, organic food. Most kibble is full of
preservatives, additives and fillers. Don't take my word for it:
instead, read the label on your bag of kibble. A junk food diet of
chemicals, animal by-products and the like will not only fail to give
your dog the nutrients he needs, it will affect the pH level of the
bladder. Feed your dog food that is natural. Although this food will
cost more than junk food kibble, your dog will eat less because each
morsel will be packed with nutrients.
* Give your dog lots of fresh, clean water. Filter your water if you
serve your dog tap water because it is full of chemicals. Water helps
to flush out toxins.
* You take care of your own health: take care of your dog. Weak
bladder syndrome is be a sign that your dog is deficient in important
nutrients needed to keep the bladder system healthy. A daily
supplement that has proven ingredients like Berberis, Uva Ursi and
Cantharis will stabilize the pH of the bladder and soothe
inflammation. An herbal remedy made of these ingredients is strong
enough to stop dog with weak bladder syndrome, yet gentle enough to
give every day to dogs who seem to have recurring problems.
Bottom line: you love your dog. Weak bladder syndrome gets in the way
of enjoying happy times together, so take care of this condition once
and for all by following the simple steps above. Besides getting rid
of this embarrassing/nagging problem, you will be improving your dog's
health and immunity overall.
