Prevention & treatment of urinary tract infection in dogs

A urinary tract infection in dogs (UTI) is simply bacteria that has entered the urinary tract and started to multiply. UTI may go undetected as the infection shows no symptoms in it’s early stages. It may also spontaneously disapear on it’s own without treatment.

Symptoms of urinary tract infection in dogs

The main symptoms are urine with an unpleasant odour, blood in the urine, urinating indoors, lethargy and contant tiredness. When symptoms like these appear it’s time to take your dog to the vet as ignoring them can lead to more serious diseases and affect other organs in the body.

Vet’s need a sample of urine to test for canine urinary tract infection. If this is present they will prescribe antibiotics to treat the infection.

How can I prevent urinary tract infection in my dog?

Cleanliness is paramount. Bathe your dog frequently to get rid of bacteria. Also make sure your dog has a supply of clean drinking water at all time. If your dog lives inside, let him out frequenly for “bathroom breaks”, which prevents the accumulation of bacteria in the urinary tract.

Exercise your dog daily if possible. Exercise stimulates the bladder and keeps the urinary tract clean and infection free.
