5 Big Reasons Why You Should Consider Natural Treatment For Canine Urinary Tract Infection

By Stephen Jones

I don't know a thing about you, but I'll bet that your dog's health is important to you. A canine urinary tract infection can be a worrisome and even life-threatening condition if not treated in time. In order to prevent future infections of your dog's bladder and urinary tract and to get to the root of the cause it's important to use a holistic treatment. On top of taking the necessary steps to improve your dog's diet and living conditions, you should also consider using natural treatments instead of antibiotics. Here are 5 reasons why.

1. Dog urinary tract infection can be prevented with a homeopathic remedy. As a treatment method, it is the most effective in the early stage of infection but it is very helpful for treating recurrent infections in the long term. It can be taken safely for a long period without causing side effects. When you give your dog homeopathic treatment on a regular basis, you can help your dog maintain a healthy bladder and support immune system functioning so the infections stop becoming a problem.

2. What you think is help for dog urinary infection may actually be doing more harm than good. For mainstream vets, antibiotics are the preferred treatment method. You may not be aware that antibiotics can actually aggravate a canine urinary tract infection, leading to further complications. Furthermore, the overuse of antibiotics has led to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains.

3. In order for antibiotics to be effective for treating dog urinary tract infection, they must be used for extended periods of time and in high concentrations. This is because most of the drugs are metabolized in your dog's body and pass through the urine. The detrimental effects of antibiotics to your dog's health are more serious when they are administered in such high concentrations.

4. Homeopathic treatments for canine urinary tract infection are holistic thus help prevent recurrent infections of the bladder and support overall health. Rather than just suppress symptoms, homeopathic treatments attack the illness from all different directions and get to the root of the underlying cause of the problem.

5. Homeopathic treatments for dog urinary tract infection are highly affordable and easy to administer. No visits to the vet are necessary since the treatments are available over-the-counter.

So there you have it. Canine urinary tract infection is a common problem that needs to be addressed by making lifestyle changes and administering homeopathic treatment. Look into making dietary changes to keep struvite crystals from forming in your dog's urine because this is one of the main causes of urinary tract infections.

Also make sure to take your dog for a walk at least twice a day to keep him from holding urine in the bladder for too long. Moreover provide your dog with fresh, clean water all the time. You may be tempted to look for a quick fix such as antibiotics but that is only going to treat symptoms and not help your dog achieve permanent recovery.

If you follow these tips and use a homeopathic remedy, you will be able to address the underlying cause of the infection, keep the infection from returning, and improve your dog's overall health.
