Living a healthy lifestyle is just as important for your dog as it is for you. And the basic needs are pretty much the same too: a healthy diet, proper hydration and plenty of exercise. When it comes to dog bladder health concerns, ensuring that your dog is living healthy will go a long way toward keeping the urinary tract functioning properly. And since urinary problems can very easily become serious, this is extremely important.<br />
<br />
The urinary tract in dogs is small and delicate, which can leave it open to everything from infection to blockage. Dog bladder health is crucial since bladder problems can lead to other issues rather quickly. That's why keeping on top of your dog's health is so very important, not only to ensure that it remains healthy but also so that you can recognize any signs of trouble and get help immediately.<br />
<br />
When it comes to maintaining good health and avoiding dog bladder health concerns, diet is the first line of defense. Since stones develop if the urine contains high levels of pH, it is important you feed your dog a low pH diet. This means making sure that your dog gets plenty of animal based proteins and avoids cereals and vegetables. The best way to do this is to feed your dog a balance of canned and dry food or at minimum feed your dog a AAFCO approved dog food that states that the food is "tested and found to be adequate."<br />
<br />
Another important factor to good dog bladder health is getting plenty of hydration. You should always be sure that your dog has continual access to a clean water source. Using metal or glass bowls can also help as plastic will leech chemicals into the water. And, of course, it is important that your dog get plenty of exercise to make sure that its body stays fit.<br />
<br />
If dog bladder health concerns do crop up there are ways to treat them which can not only ease symptoms but also have a beneficial effect on overall health. Primary among them are homeopathic remedies. Made from a special blend of plant based ingredients including Cantharis, Staphysagris and Berberis, these all natural products help to strengthen the immune system, improving your dog's ability to fight off illness.<br />
<br />
It's important to note that antibiotics are the primarily line of defense against dog bladder problems when a specific confirmatory diagnosis is made by a veterinarian. Homeopathic or natural products can reduce the severity of symptoms, help to speed healing and act as a long term preventative.<br />
<br />
As well as targeting the immune system, natural products have antiseptic and antibacterial properties which can work to alleviate painful symptoms. And because they are made entirely from natural ingredients, they don't carry the serious side effects that most antibiotics do. This makes them the perfect solution for treating dog bladder health as well as overall health.<br />
<br />
Good health is as important for your pet as it is for you, so don't skimp when it comes to your dog. Make sure your four footed friend is getting everything he needs to be happy and healthy and if health problems occur, don't hesitate to consider the natural approach to treatment in additional to conventional methods. Of course anything you give your dog should be discussed with your veterinarian who knows your pet best.</p>
