What to Do For a Dog With Weak Bladder

Laura Ramirez
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.

Age has a lot to do with it also. An older female may have the problem because she is older. There are pills to help with this. Natural dog food has preservatives in them just as others do. There is no do food on the market that absolutely healthy for your dog or cat. Making your own is the only sure way of making sure the animals gets what it needs and I dont see many people doing that.
