Are you sick and tired of having to take your dog to the vet for repeated canine bladder infection treatment? If so, you might be glad to learn that you can treat your dog's bladder infection safely and effectively, right from the comfort of home.

If you suspect that your cat has a urinary tract infection, you should take your pet to the vet for a diagnosis that will tell you exactly what is wrong. Sometimes what looks like a bladder infection could be something else. If your vet determines that your pet has an infection, your pet will most likely be prescribed antibiotics.

Antibiotics can actually aggravate canine bladder infection because they have to be taken in such high concentrations for long periods in order to be effective. They may be helpful in treating the symptoms of the problem but if you want to actually get to the root of the underlying cause, you need to try to treat the problem with homeopathy.

The best bladder infection treatment does not have to come with a prescription. There are things that you can do at home to remedy this infection fast. For example, a great treatment is cranberry juice. Drinking as much cranberry juice as possible will help to flush those bacteria right out of your system.

Some of the home treatments that you can try giving your dog are cranberry juice, lime juice and other citrus juices. You can also put a little amount of apple cider vinegar in your dog's diet. These natural treatments have properties that can help promote the right level of acidity in the dog's urine. Dog urine with just the right level of acidity can help prevent and eliminate the formation of bacterial infections in the dog's urinary tract.

Urinating after sexual intercourse may help because it can potentially eliminate any bacteria that were introduced into the urinary tract during intercourse. Those looking to avoid symptoms should also refrain from holding urine for long periods of time.

Cranberry juice is also recommended for bladder infections and has been shown to have positive effects on urinary tract infections. You must make sure that you drink 100 % pure cranberry juice rather than those where a lot of sugar is added to sweeten the juice. Pure cranberry juice produces hippuric acid in the urine, which makes the urine acidic and prevents bacteria from sticking to the bladder.

Other natural remedies include the use of cranberry juice or other berry based products. Like in human health, berries have natural properties which can keep bacteria from clinging to the bladder walls. This is why many gynecologists encourage women to drink these types of products.

A glass of cranberry juice daily is an optional method of preventing bladder infection. Intake of vitamin C helps to maintain the acidity of urine, as it reduces the number of harmful bacteria in the urinary tract. Uva-ursi, a shrub that grows in North America is a suitable substitute for antibiotic infection fighters.

Wiping from front to back after going to the bathroom helps prevent infections from occurring. It helps to move bacteria away from, not toward, the vagina and the opening of the urethra. Going to the bathroom before intercourse helps flush out bacteria that may be present in the vagina and otherwise might get pushed into the bladder by intercourse. You must also visit the bathroom after intercourse.
