How to Prevent UTI in Dogs

Prevent UTI in Dogs

A urinary tract infection UTI in dogs occurs when bacteria infects your dogs immune system. In many cases, UTIs are undetectable in dogs, and sometimes there are no discernible symptoms at all. They can cause pain during urination, though, and lead to other potential health issues. To prevent pain and discomfort in your dog, try to prevent UTIs in the first place.

Preventing UTIs Keep your dog well-groomed.

You need to keep your pets rear end as clean as possible. UTIs are more common in females than males because of the vulvas shape and proximity to the anus. Because its so wide, its a good entry point for fecal contamination from the anus. Whether your pets male or female, clip the hair around your rear end and genitals. This decreases the chance of feces or bacteria from mud sticking to the dogs private parts. If the dog gets mucky, give him a good bath, making sure to clean the fur by the genitals.

The longer urine sits in the bladder, the more chance bacteria have to multiply. Regular urination flushes bacteria out of the bladder, decreasing the chances for an infection. Ideally, your dog should empty his bladder at least every four hours. An adult dog can hold his urine for 8 - 10 hours, but that doesnt make it a good idea. Give your dog plenty of opportunities for comfort breaks. Let the dog out last thing at night and first thing in the morning to minimize how long he has to hold his urine at night.
