Let me talk to you for a few minutes about something you will find very informative. I bet youget very frustrated every time you find dribbles of urine all over the house? Canine urinary incontinence can make any dog uncomfortable and unable to control the bladder.

There are so many reasons for urinary problems in dogs that most pet owners do not have a clue as to what may be the underlying cause. This is when there is no alternative, but to make a visit to the vet.

Usually when the problem has been diagnosed, and the cause has been discovered, there is still no simple solution in conventional veterinary medicine for this common problem. Sometimes if the canine urinary incontinence was caused by birth defect or tumor, the only solution to correct the problem may be surgery.

If the dog’s urinary incontinence was caused by old age, bacterial infection or bladder stones, the veterinarian will most likely prescribe medication. But the options in conventional treatment are limited and not very effective to say the least. The major drawback of giving your dog strong medications, are the potentially significant side effects that usually follow.

To promote optimal health and treat urinary incontinence, you have to give dogs plenty of fresh, filtered water to drink and a diet of raw and unprocessed foods. You may also want to consider a homeopathic supplement.

Studies have shown that some of the best options for treating urinary problems in dogs, without harmful side effects, are natural supplements. ADDRESSING all of the problem areas of your dog’s health may be the first step in curing urinary incontinence since they could be the cause of the incontinence.

Homeopathic remedies are very effective in treating canine urinary incontinence because of the natural tonics that have proven to be very effective in maintaining and strengthening the bladder and urinary tract.

You will want to look for a homeopathic remedy that contains uva ursi and cantharis. Uva ursi is a urinary tonic that is used to maintains normal PH levels of the urinary tract, while cantharis keeps a healthy urine flow and soothes the bladder.

The principle of "like treats like" is the reason homeopathy remedies are so effective. Studies have shown that a substance that is known to cause the symptoms in healthy dogs can heal the problem in a sick dog when given in small doses.

What should you do next? Once your dog’s incontinence has been diagnosed, you will want to use this information as a guide and find a homeopathic remedy to cure the illness. These natural treatments are not only effective at getting rid of the symptoms but also getting to the root of the problem to prevent future urinary incontinence.
