Natürlich gilt bei den genannten Lebensmitteln: „Allein die Menge macht das Gift“. Man muss also nicht in Panik geraten, wenn der Hund mal ein Stück Tomate oder eine Weintraube frisst. Man sollte eben darauf achten, dass der Hund sich zu diesen Dingen keinen freien Zugang verschafft und sie in entsprechenden Mengen zu sich nimmt.

Was aber sollte man tun, wenn der Hund Vergiftungserscheinungen zeigt?

• Zunächst gilt es, eine weitere Giftaufnahme zu unterbinden, um dann so schnell wie möglich einen Tierarzt aufzusuchen.
• Niemals sollte man Erbrechen auslösen! Auch wenn man meint, damit dem Tier zu helfen. Ein Brechmittel zu verabreichen gehört in die Hände eins Fachmanns.
• Wenn möglich, Proben des Giftstoffes einsammeln
• Keine eigenständige Medikation vornehmen!

Gelbe Paprika sind auch reif! Es handelt sich nur um eine andere Sorte als die roten Paprika.

Anfangs sind alle Paprika grün und dann werden sie je nach Sorte rot, gelb oder orange.

Wie sieht es mit Obst aus? Ich kenne Hunde, die essen für ihr Leben gerne Bananen oder Äpfel?

Mir ist abgesehen von Weintrauben keine Obstsorte bekannt, die Hunde nicht fressen dürfen. Äpfel und Bananen sind in jedem Fall OK, wobei gerade Bananen als schwer verdaulich gelten. Das ist natürlich in geringen Mengen kein Problem, aber der Hund sollte nun nicht gerade mehr als 10 % seines Futters in Form von Bananen zu sich nehmen.

Avacado sind ebenfalls giftig für Hunde. Es kommt ein bisschen auf die Sorte an, nicht jede Sorte ist betroffen.

Super Webseite, ich gratuliere.

Hallo! Danke für die Seite, es bring mich unheimlich viel weiter! Eine Frage nur. Warum auf dem Bild ASS abgeblidet sit. Ich denke mein Hund hat es mal als Schleimlöser zum Inhalieren verschrieben bekommen. Ist es denn giftig?

Hallo, das Bild ist eher symbolisch gedacht - ich hatte nur dieses Medikament im Haus. Soweit ich weiß, sollte man "Aspirin" einem Hund jedoch nicht verabreichen. Insgesamt sollte man derartige Dinge immer mit dem Tierarzt abklären. Es gibt Medikamente aus dem Humanbereich, die man für Hunde einsetzen kann, aber das trifft eben nicht auf alle zu. Daher muss die Anwendung immer mit einem Tierarzt besprochen werden.

Super tolle Seite. Herzlichen Glückwunsch. Werde die Homepage weiterempfehlen.

Antwort zum 28,10..2013

sehr informativ und übersichtlich :-) weiter so !

Diese Seite gibt Neuanfängern und Alten Hasen einen guten Überblick auch Themenvertiefungen sind, ohne viel Schnickschnack möglich.

Nee, Avocado ist gar nicht so schädlich wie ihr Ruf:

Doch. Einige Sorten enthalten relativ viel Persin, andere kaum welches. Der normale, botanisch unbewanderte Hundehalter, kann die Sorten aber aufgrund ihrer Ähnlichkeit schlecht unterscheiden. Daher rät man in der Regel davon ab, Avocados zu füttern.

Ich hätte wirklich gerne eine Quelle für die Avocado. Nach langer Recherche hab ich nichts Stichlatiges gefunden.

Also welche Sorten enthalten im _Fruchtfleisch_ so viel Persin, dass es einem Hund tatsächlich schadet?

Ich barfe nicht, würde mir niemals in den Sinn kommen. Ich koche lieber für meine Hunde, ist mir wesentlich sympathischer.

Ganz im Gegenteil, Tomaten enthalten Lycopin, das gekocht/zerkleinert (Dosentomaten sind noch dazu höchst aromatisch) gut aufgenommen werden kann, auch der Hund. Tomatenmark ist ebenso eine gute Quelle.

Ich weiß nicht so recht, ob ich als Betreiberin eines BARF-Blogs Lust habe, für jemanden, der BARF ablehnt und mir auch so komisch kommt, kostenlose Recherchedienste anzubieten. Das muss ich mir mal überlegen.

Hallo,,nach dem Webinar Barfen bin ich auf diese HP/Blog gestossen..einfach Klasse. Seitdem lese ich fast täglich diese Seiten. TOP. BiWi

Hallo,,eine Frage, woraus besteht der Gemüsemix zum Beispiel?

Meine Hunde mögen gern Salatgurke. Ich finde das sie dann schön frisch aus dem Maul riechen.

Hallo, mein Hund kommt mir wie ein Kaninchen vor. Warum? Er frißt liebend gerne Möhren, auch Salat; Bananen und auch Äpfel begeistern ihn sehr. Ob geraspelt und mit Oel betropft -im Napf- oder als ganze Stücke, es ist ihm egal. Außerdem erhält er nur Barf - Futter und ich achte peinlich genau darauf, dass sein Essen kein Getreide enthält, denn das "Gluten" im Getreide ist für den Verdauungstrakt des Hundes gefährlich. Mein vorletzter Hund hatte ständig Darmprobleme und das möchte ich dem derzeiten Wuffi ersparen; deshalb wird er gebarft!

Auch ich lese sehr gerne in diesem Blog und habe schon viele hilfreiche Tipps erhalten.

Nun hätte ich eine Frage. Weintrauben sind ja für den Hund nicht zu empfehlen. Wie sieht es aber aus mit Traubenkernmehl? Ich hab es schon öfters im Zusammenhang mit Hundefutter gelesen. Es enthält angeblich viele Antioxidantien, und da ich einen Epihund habe, muss ich auf eine besonders antioxidantienreiche Ernährung achten. Ist Traubenkernmehl im Gegensatz zu Weintrauben unbedenklich?

>Solanin ist zwar hitzebeständig, geht jedoch zu Teilen ins Kochwasser über. Wie bei Kartoffeln.

Zum Thema Traubenkernmehl: Das Problem bei Trauben ist, dass bisher nicht nachgewiesen werden konnte, warum Trauben oder Rosinen für Hunde schädlich sind. Demnach könnte theoretisch alles, was in Trauben enthalten ist, der Auslöser sein und somit auch die Kerne. Aus diesem Grund würde ich lieber kein Traubenkehrnmehl geben, solange das nicht als unbedenklich eingestuft wird.Nur weil es im Trockenfutter enthalten ist, heißt es leider nicht, dass es unbedenklich ist. Da werden auch andere Dinge verarbeitet, die nicht in einen Hund gehören.

ich hab mal eine Frage zu Aubergine.

Darf sie gekocht und in kleinen Mengen verfüttert werden oder sollte man sie besser überhaupt nicht verfüttern?

Tolle Seite! Heute habe ich eine Frage zu Futterzusatz. Da unsere (fast) erwachsenen Kinder Veganer sind, habe ich mich schon viele Jahre intensiv mit unserer Ernährung und der Vermeidung von Mangelerscheinungen beschäftigt. Ein großer Favorit bei den menschlichen Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln ist Moringapulver, das wir kg-weise in Bioaualität haben und Nigella sativa also Schwarzkümmelöl. Da Moringa ebenfalls sehr gute ORAC-Werte hat und Nigella wunderbar die Zecken fernhält, gebe ich beides unseren vier Hunden einmal pro Woche unters Futter. Ich setze beides nur minimal ein, da ich bisher dazu keine genaueren Mengenangaben, was pro kg Hund ok ist gefunden habe. Ist das so ok bzw. haben Sie detaillierte Angaben dazu? Vielen Dank

Bacterial Urinary Tract Infections

By Patricia M. Dowling, DVM, MSc, DACVIM, DACVCP, Professor, Veterinary Clinical Pharmacology, Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan

• Systemic Pharmacotherapeutics of the Urinary System
• Overview of Systemic Pharmacotherapeutics of the Urinary System

Bacterial urinary tract infections (UTIs) typically result from normal skin and GI tract flora ascending the urinary tract and overcoming the normal urinary tract defenses that prevent colonization. Bacterial UTI is the most common infectious disease of dogs, affecting 14% of all dogs during their lifetime. Although UTIs are uncommon in young cats, the incidence of UTI is much higher in older cats, which may be more susceptible to infection because of diminished host defenses secondary to aging or concomitant disease (such as diabetes mellitus, renal failure, or hyperthyroidism). Approximately two-thirds of those cats also have some degree of renal failure. Bacterial UTIs in ruminants are associated with catheterization or parturition in females and as both a cause and consequence of urolithiasis in males. In horses, UTIs are uncommon and typically associated with bladder paralysis, urolithiasis, or urethral damage.

Unlike human patients, veterinary patients are often asymptomatic, and the UTI may be an incidental finding. The consequences of untreated UTI include lower urinary tract dysfunction, urolithiasis, prostatitis, infertility, septicemia, and pyelonephritis with scarring and eventual kidney failure. Coagulase-positive staphylococci are involved in the formation of struvite (MgNH₄PO₄) calculi in dogs. In intact male dogs, UTI frequently extends to the prostate gland. Because of the blood-prostate barrier, it is difficult to eradicate bacteria from the prostate, and the urinary tract may be reinfected after appropriate treatment, causing a systemic bacteremia, infecting the rest of the reproductive tract, or causing an abscess within the prostate.

Large, retrospective studies have documented the most common species of uropathogens in dogs and cats, with Escherichia coli being the single most common pathogen in both acute and recurrent UTIs. The other common pathogens include Staphylococcus, Proteus, Streptococcus, Klebsiella, and Pseudomonas spp. In UTIs in horses, E coli, Streptococcus, and Enterococcus spp predominate, whereas Corynebacterium renale and E coli are the most common pathogens in ruminants. In immunocompromised animals, funguria from Candida spp may occur.

Antimicrobials are the cornerstone of UTI therapy, and many animals with recurring UTIs are managed empirically with repeated courses (see Table: Drugs Commonly Used to Treat Urinary Tract Infections in Small Animals). This approach fails if the underlying pathophysiology predisposing the animal to the UTI is not addressed; as well, it encourages emergence of resistant bacteria. With chronic UTI from highly resistant bacteria, therapeutic options are extremely limited.

Antimicrobial Therapy:

Urine culture is the “gold standard” for diagnosis of UTI. Indications to perform urine culture include visualization of bacteria during urine sediment examination, evidence of pyuria, dilute urine ( 24 hr). These drugs are formulated in a 1:5 ratio of TMP to sulfa, although the optimal bactericidal concentration is a ratio of 1:20 TMP:sulfa. Microbiology services use the 1:20 ratio in susceptibility testing; however, the widely varying pharmacokinetic properties of this drug combination make it difficult to determine a therapeutic regimen that achieves the 1:20 ratio at the infection site. Although the combination does penetrate the blood-prostate barrier, sulfa drugs are ineffective in purulent material because of freely available para-aminobenzoic acid from dead neutrophils. The combination of TMP-sulfa is synergistic and bactericidal against staphylococci, streptococci, E coli, and Proteus. Activity against enterococci and Klebsiella is variable, and Pseudomonas is resistant. TMP-sulfas are associated with a number of adverse effects, and chronic low-dose therapy may result in bone marrow suppression and keratoconjunctivitis sicca in dogs.

Dosage Regimens for UTI:

Currently, the duration of therapy for UTI is controversial. Although animals are routinely treated with antimicrobial drugs for 10–14 days, shorter duration antimicrobial regimens are routinely prescribed in human patients, including single-dose fluoroquinolone therapy. A clinical comparison of 3 days of therapy with a once-daily high dose of enrofloxacin with 2 wk of twice daily amoxicillin -clavulanic acid showed equivalence in the treatment of simple UTI in dogs. However, further studies are needed to determine the optimal dosage regimens for different classes of antimicrobials, and it is inappropriate to use fluoroquinolones as first-line therapy for simple UTIs. Animals with complicated UTI may require longer courses of therapy, and underlying pathology must be addressed. Chronic complicated cases of UTI, pyelonephritis, and prostatitis may require antimicrobial treatment for 4–6 wk, with the risk of selecting for antimicrobial resistance. A follow-up urine culture should be performed after 4–7 days of therapy to determine efficacy. If the same or a different pathogen is seen, then an alternative therapy should be chosen and the culture repeated again after 4–7 days. Urine should also be cultured 7–10 days after completing antimicrobial therapy to determine whether the UTI has resolved or recurred.

Managing Multiple Episodes of UTI:

In dogs and cats, if UTI occurs only once or twice yearly, each episode may be treated as an acute, uncomplicated UTI. If episodes occur more often, and predisposing causes of UTI cannot be identified or corrected, chronic low-dose therapy may be necessary. Low antimicrobial concentrations in the urine may interfere with fimbriae production by some pathogens and prevent their adhesion to the uroepithelium. In dogs, recurrent UTIs are due to a different strain or species of bacteria

80% of the time; therefore, antimicrobial culture and susceptibility is still indicated. Antimicrobial therapy should be started as previously described and when urine culture is negative, continued daily at ⅓ the total daily dose. The antimicrobial should be administered last thing at night to ensure that the bladder contains urine with a high antimicrobial concentration for as long as possible.

Appropriate antimicrobials for chronic, low-dose therapy include amoxicillin , ampicillin , amoxicillin -clavulanic acid, doxycycline , cephalexin , cefadroxil , and nitrofurantoin . A trimethoprim -sulfonamide can be used, but folate supplementation should be provided (15 mg/kg, bid) to prevent bone marrow suppression; there is also the risk of keratoconjunctivitis sicca developing with longterm use. Although attractive for owner convenience, third-generation cephalosporins such as cefpodoxime and cefovecin and fluoroquinolones should not be used for longterm therapy. During longterm therapy, urine culture should be repeated every 4–6 wk. As long as the culture is negative, therapy is continued for 6 mo. If bacteriuria occurs, the infection is treated as an acute episode with an appropriate antimicrobial. After 6 mo of bacteria-free urine, the longterm, low-dose antimicrobial therapy may be discontinued, and many animals will not have additional recurrences. In some cases, longterm therapy may be continued for years in animals that continue to have recurrent UTIs.

Therapeutic Failures:

Treatment failures may be due to poor owner compliance, inappropriate choice of antimicrobials, inappropriate dose or duration of treatment, antimicrobial resistance, superinfection, or an underlying predisposing cause (eg, urolithiasis, neoplasia, urachal diverticula). If treatment for a simple or complicated UTI fails, a thorough evaluation should be performed to determine and, when possible, address the cause of failure. When faced with a therapeutic failure, the practitioner must consider whether the UTI is due to a relapse or a reinfection. Relapses due to infection by uropathogens with enhanced intrinsic virulence occur with what should be effective antimicrobial therapy. Strains of uropathogenic E coli have a number of virulence mechanisms that enable them to invade, survive, and multiply within the uroepithelium. The sequestration of uropathogenic E coli within the bladder uroepithelium presents a great therapeutic challenge in both human and veterinary patients. There is no clear consensus in the human medical literature about how to approach these recurrent and persistent UTIs.

Antimicrobial Resistance in Uropathogens:

Acquired resistance to antimicrobials by uropathogens is of great concern in both human and veterinary medicine. The prevalence of multidrug resistance in uropathogens is increasing, particularly in infections in dogs and cats. Extended-spectrum β-lactamase genes are increasingly identified in E coli isolates from companion animals. Increases in the occurrence of fluoroquionolone-resistant E coli in dogs have been widely reported. Because the mechanism of resistance to fluoroquinolones frequently involves efflux pumps, it also conveys multidrug resistance. Fluoroquinolone resistance is also increasing in other uropathogens, including enterococci, Proteus mirabilis, and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius isolates. Methicillin-resistant staphylococci have been identified in cases of canine UTI. There is increasing evidence that animals are an important reservoir of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria causing infections in people. Enterococci isolated from canine UTIs have been associated with several different resistant phenotypes, with most exhibiting resistance to three or more antimicrobials. One Enterococcus faecium isolate displayed high-level resistance to vancomycin and gentamicin . Sequence analysis suggested that resistance was due to gene exchange between human and canine enterococci. The use of “last resort” human antimicrobials in veterinary patients with resistant infections is controversial. Vancomycin , imipenem-cilastatin, meropenem , fosfomycin , quinupristin-dalfopristin, and tigecycline should not be used routinely in treatment of UTI in animals. Nonantimicrobial control of infection should be considered whenever feasible. Custom-made vaccines, cranberry juice/extract, probiotics and adherence/colonization inhibitors, and establishment of asymptomatic bacteriuria may help preserve the efficacy of antimicrobials.

Naturally Treating Your Dog’s Urinary Tract Infection

The discomfort and irritation of a urinary tract infection is very uncomfortable and painful for your dog.

If you’ve ever had one yourself, then you know how uncomfortable these infections are.

As with many conditions that impact humans, pet owners are often unaware that their dog has a urinary tract infection until they see blood in the urine and then the concern grows.

Causes and Concerns

There are a number of things that can cause a urinary tract infection in your dog, including:

• E-coli bacteria
• Bladder inflammation and/or infection
• Trauma
• Stress
• Cancer
• Prostate disease
• Spinal cord difficulties and abnormalities
• Incontinence
• Stones or debris from the bladder or urethra
• Congenital abnormalities
• Hormonal issues

There are also a number of risk factors for a urinary tract infection. It most often occurs in older female dogs as well as pooches with diabetes.

The most commonly occurring disease in dogs over the age of seven years is incontinence, as leakage can occur due to a weaker urinary sphincter muscle. Dogs with conditions like adrenal disease are also more predisposed to urinary tract infections.

Symptoms of Urinary Tract Infections in Dogs

Figuring out if your dog has a urinary tract infection is a matter of observation. As is always the case with issues surrounding your pooch’s health, it’s important to check with holistic veterinarian to not only confirm the condition you suspect but to confirm the adequacy of treatment options for your dog.

Some of the signs and symptoms associated with urinary tract infections in dogs include:

• Bloody or cloudy urine
• Fever
• Loss of bladder control
• Inability to urinate
• Greater frequency of urination
• Crying or straining to pass urin
• Vomiting,
• Lethargy
• Weight loss
• Back pain
• Appetite changes
• Strong odor in uirne
• Increased consumption of water

As the aforementioned symptoms can relate to other conditions, it’s important to get a solid diagnosis from a trained professional if the symptoms persist.

Treatment

There’s been some research done and there are a number of possibilities that you can explore. Because we like to advocate natural treatment options as often as possible, our focus leans to those areas.

Often times dogs are on and off antibiotics with no resolve to the real problem. Surgery, in some extreme cases, may be considered as well.

Our own topical Probiotic Spray, as seen here, works wonders for dogs and cats with UTI’S. You spray it directly to the vagina/uretra on females or the penis area of male dogs. It’s very convenient and effective because it’s applied directly to the problem areas.

Other Helpful Treatment Ideas …

Some have advocated for starting a treatment regimen with cranberry juice, which has been commonly cited as aiding in keeping bacteria away from the bladder. In humans, cranberry is a key in prevention and support of urinary health. In dogs, it can have similar effects but it doesn’t always do the trick alone.

D-Mannose, which is a naturopathic remedy often used to treat urinary tract infections including reoccurring infections caused by a genetic imperfection. D-Mannose has been known to disrupt the ability of e-coli bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract.

It is derived from mannose, which is a sugar molecule (binding). Some have reported combining cranberry with a dosage of D-Mannose and have seen great improvements in their dogs’ urinary tract conditions.

The best forms are those that include cranberry extract. You have to be patient when using D-Mannose. Don’t expect immediate results.

Check with your vet first regarding using D-Mannose if your dog is a diabetic.

Warning: DO NOT buy brands that include Xylitol which is deadly to dogs.

Dosage Guide: a 15-1/2 lb. dog would roughly get a little less than 1/4 teaspoon mixed into food with a little water.

It’s always a good idea to include a probiotic to speed up the healing process.

yes, how many times a day? Thanks!

Not sure what you’re asking Kathy?

If referring to D Mannose, the dosage is in the article.

Hi Could you tell me where i can purchase the d-mannose that you feature in your article or an equivalent product. thks

If you click on the image in the article, it will take you to Amazon where you can purchase it. However, I see that you are in the UK, so the following link and product might work better for you.

I hope it helps Steve.

OK. Great. A 15 1/2 pound dog would get a little less than a teaspoon. Once a day? Twice day? I have the same question Kathy had.

Please advise-if the dog’s Urine PH is 4 which is very acidic, is it still okay to give the D-Mannose to the dog? Dog has e-coli and no antibiotic is killing it.

What do you feed your dog Joy? Do you include any supplements?

A dog’s pH should be between 6 and 6.5 but not above 7. Let me know about the supplements and what else you’re doing? Diet matters.

Why will they not answer the questions about how many times a day is the dosage stated above. Very frustrating due to the fact I just bought this stuff and have no idea how much to give my dog.

What exactly did you buy Patti and from where, because we don’t show your email address in any of our orders?

German Recipe Kalter Hund and Heinerle

German Recipe Kalter Hund — Heinerle

This German Recipe Kalter Hund or Heinerle is a traditional German recipe. Kalter Hund means cold dog, but it is a layered cake made with cookies with a coconut oil chocolate filling. No baking is required. This cake is also called Kalte Schnauze (Cold Snout), Kalte Pracht (Cold Splendor), and Kellerkuchen (Cellar Cake).

The Germans call it Heinerle (a name for little boys) when the coconut chocolate filling is placed between special waffles called Oblaten. You will find both of the versions in this recipe.

Ingredients for German Recipe Kalter Hund — Heinerle:

• 250 g (8.81 oz) of Palmin OR coconut oil
• 250 g (8.81 oz) of sugar
• 125 g (4.40 oz) of Blockschokolade OR Ghirardelli Chocolate 100% cacao
• 4 eggs size XL
• 1 packet of Vanilla Zucker OR 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 2 ½ tablespoons of cocoa
• 2-3 tablespoons of rum OR orange liqueur (optional)
• 2 packages of Bahlsen butter biscuits for Kalter Hund (Bahlsen butter cookies are sold in almost every grocery store. You can find them either in the cookie section or the international food section).

• for Heinerle 3 packages of baking waffles 120 mm x 200 mm Oblaten. Each package has 10 Oblaten – waffles and makes about 5-6 sets of Heinerle depending how thick you spread the chocolate mix.

Preparation of filling for German Recipe Kalter Hund — Heinerle:

Melt the coconut oil and the chocolate in a saucepan on low heat. Remove from the stove and pour into a metal bowl. Let it cool down in the fridge for about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile mix the eggs, vanilla flavoring, sugar, cocoa, and rum in a blender. Add to the cooled down chocolate mix and stir until smooth. Place the chocolate mix in the metal bowl inside a larger pot filled with water (a bain-marie). Place the large pot on the stove and heat up the water. Stir the chocolate mix using a whisk. Remove the pot from the stove before the chocolate mix gets to the boiling point and pour the chocolate mix into a glass bowl immediately. Let it cool down. (Do not place the glass bowl in the fridge for the Kalter Hund version: place it in the fridge for the Heinerle version).

Preparation of Kalter Hund:

Fill a decorating bag connected to a decorating tip with five tablespoons of the chocolate Mix. Place this aside to decorate the top of the cake. Use a loaf baking pan to finish the Kalter Hund. Butter the baking pan either with baking spray or with melted margarine. (The margarine or spray helps to keep the cellophane wrap in place). Line the pan with cellophane wrap. Fill the loaf pan with seven layers of biscuits and spread a layer of chocolate mix between each layer of biscuits. The first layer should be biscuits, the last layer should be the chocolate mix. While you work, the chocolate mix needs to be soft enough for you to be able to spread it over the biscuits.

Place the baking pan in the refrigerator for about six hours to harden. Remove the cake from the baking pan. Carefully remove the cellophane wrap.

Place the cake on a serving plate to finish decorating the top. The cake should be stored in the refrigerator. It can also be frozen.

Preparation of German Recipe Kalter Hund — Heinerle:

Place the chocolate mix in the fridge for about one hour in to harden a little before spreading it over the waffles. Create 5-6 sets of Heinerle. Start spreading the chocolate mix on the bottom waffle, add another waffle on top and so forth until you have reached five waffles and your first set is finished.

Pile up your 5-6 sets of Heinerle. Have cellophane wrap between each set. Place a heavy weight on top of your pile to spread the chocolate mix between the waffles evenly while the mix is hardening. Before cutting the Heinerle, keep them in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours or overnight. (You can use a washed brick as weight; wrap it in aluminum foil or in cellophane wrap. A brick is almost the same size as the waffles).

When the Heinerle have hardened, straighten the edges with a knife. Then cut little squares using a sharp knife. Use a paper kitchen towel to clean the blade of the knife from time to time.

The Heinerle should be stored in the refrigerator. They can also be frozen.

Urinary Bladder Infection

d-Mannose MAX Powder

They are a perfect example of the existing, and often uninformed, prejudice against nutritional supplements.

I sincerely hope that you do not believe in such anti-vitamin nonsense discouraging their use.

E. Coli Bacteria: The Pirates of the Urinary Tract

It was discovered in the late 1980s that a small amount of D-Mannose - naturally occurring in peaches, apples, berries - is present in the urine normally, apparently acting as a defensive mechanism against pathogenic bacteria - infectious microorganisms, colloqually knowns as germs.

E. coli-Contaminated Chicken Can Cause UTIs

Many women have long blamed their sex life for those painful urinary tract infections, but they also might need to blame the chicken meat.

As the study's researchers blame improper food handling for food-borne UTIs, we can minimize our chances of developing an E. coli infection by:

• Washing your hands. Clean your hands thoroughly (at least 25 seconds!) after using the bathroom and before food preparation.
• Cooking meats thoroughly. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees.
• Preventing cross contamination. Be sure to thoroughly wash your hands, counters, cutting boards, and utensils after they come in contact with raw meat.

Supplemental D-Mannose: The Mechanism of Action

Pathogenic E. coli bacteria's pili "grappling hooks" are composed of long, fibrous chains of molecular "glue" called adhesion. The effective binding of these adhesion molecules depends on the chemical attraction between them and the residues of a simple carbohydrate D-Mannose on the cell surface receptors of the urinary tract host cells.

Scientifically and Clinically Proven

The "molecular mechanism" of the action of D-Mannose on E. coli is scientifically proven. There is no argument at all about this among researchers who have studied it. Tens of thousands of women working with natural medicine-oriented doctors have successfully applied this science to their own bladder infections since the mid-1980s.

A Safe and Natural Option to Antibiotics

For the great majority of bladder infections - over 85 percent - supplemental D-Mannose offers a safe, natural option with a safe, natural option, along with:

• a simple, ingenious rationale;
• no known side effects of any kinds (neither gastrointestinal problems, yeast infections, nor resistant bacteria!) unlike virtually any conventional medication and many natural or alternative treatments as well;
• good tasting;
• suitable for children (it is ideally suited for children with bladder infections; because it tastes so good , children actually enjoy taking it);
• a great reported success rate;
• effective and safe for pregnant women (pregnant women who are susceptible to recurrent bladder infections can safely take D-Mannose as a preventive measure to head off future attacks).

As Effective As Antibiotics

Several years of clinical experience have shown that supplemental D-Mannose is just as effective at curing bladder infections caused by E. coli as antibiotic drugs.

Our Clients Write to Us

I was prescribed ciprofloxin, a very strong antibiotic with numerous possible side effects, for an acute and painful kidney infection. After 7 days it did seem to stop the infection in my kidney, but not in my urinary tract.

About 90 percent of the time, bladder infection which is caused by E. coli, will respond to d-Mannose MAX treatment with significant symptoms reduction within 24 hours. In almost 90 percent of such cases, it usually clears the infection in 1 to 3 days.

Description of Nutrients

• D-Mannose is a glyconutrient and has many helpful health benefits.Glyconutrients are vital because they are eight types of sugars (known as saccharides) that formulate crucial compounds within the body. Antibodies and digestive enzymes are glycoproteins that assist the body’s cells in communicating with each other, which is highly beneficial to health.*
  • D-mannose also removes "bad" bacteria by attachment and voiding.*
  • It’s absorbed eight times slower than glucose and, when ingested, is not converted to glycogen or stored in the liver but, rather, goes directly into the blood stream from the kidneys to the bladder. Therefore it does not interfere with blood sugar regulation.*
  • The bacterium displaced by Mannose is responsible for 80-90% of UTIs, whereas antibiotic treatment may cause an imbalance in the normal flora.*
• Cranberry Juice Powder naturally contains Malic, Citric and Quinic Acids which are the active ingredients that acidify the urine and keep unwanted material from adhering to the cells that line the bladder wall.*
  • These acids also promote thorough cleansing of the urinary tract.*
• Olive Leaf Powder works directly against unwanted materials by supporting your own protective cells (phagocytes) to ingest them without suppressing the immune system or damaging the body’s beneficial flora.*
  • Additionally, Oleuropein supports the immune system response and aids in detoxification.*
• FOS (Fructooligosaccharide) & Fibersol-2™ are two types of soluble fibers that support balanced intestinal micro flora and because they are so soluble and less dense, they mix instantly and do not cause bloating or gas like other fiber products.*
  • They have been shown to support proper bowel function, regularity, fecal volume, beneficial intestinal micro flora popluations, healthy digestive tract, and supports cholesterol, triglyceride and blood sugar levels within normal ranges*
• Proprietary Shelf Stable Non-Dairy Probiotic Blend contains 4 Billion CFU/g of the following strains:
  • Lactobacillus acidophilus,
  • Lactobacillus casei,
  • Bifidobacterium breve,
  • Streptococcus thermophilus,
  • Bifidobacterium longum.

Uribiotic: Herbal Antibiotic

Over the years, at Full of Health, we have learned that urinary tract infections can be addressed naturally. With the help of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory herbs, nutrients and phytonutrients, it is possible to get through both acute and chronic infections by:

• disinfecting the urinary tract (an antimicrobial action),
• inhibiting and preventing inflammation,
• enhancing the growth of some forms of beneficial bacteria within the body such as Bifidobacteria bifidus and Lactobacillus acidophilus,
• destroying some forms of detrimental fungi such as Candida albicans and Candida krusei.

By preventing bacterial cell division and breaking down the walls and cytoplasm of bacteria (in a similar fashion to some types of pharmaceutical antibiotics), Uribiotic Formula helps to inhibit the growth (or kill) many types of detrimental pathogenic bacteria including:

• Actinomyces naeslundii
• Bacillus anthracis (on the basis of its known ability to kill other species of Bacillus)
• Bacillus alvert
• Bacillus cereus
• Bacillus subtilis
• Brucella abortus
• Campylobacter jejuni
• Chlamydia pneumoniae
• Chlamydia trachomatis
• Citrobacter freundii, a species of motile, gram-negative Citrobacter - a genus of gram-negative coliform bacteria in the Enterobacteriaceae family. Citrobacter bacteria can be present in the intestines, feces, soil, water, urine, sewage and food; they are also the source of infant meningitis and sepsis.

Citrobacter freundii strains have inducible ampC genes encoding resistance to ampicillin and first-generation cephalosporins.

• Clostridium species (botulinum, tetani)
• Cornybacterium diphtheriae
• Enterobacter aerogenes, gram-negative aerobe, also known as Klebsiella mobilis or Klebsiella aerogenes (the latter at one time was used for several strains now known to belong to Klebsiella pneumoniae; now it is used primarily by researchers who believe that Enterobacter aerogenes should be transferred to Klebsiella)
• Enterococcus faecalis (gram-positive aerobe, former Group D streptococcus)
• Eschericia coli (E. coli, gram-negative aerobe)
• Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)
• Haemophilus influenzae
• Klebsiella pneumoniae (gram-negative aerobe)
• Legionella pneumoniae
• Listeria monocytogenes
• Moraxella catarrhalis
• Mycobacterium smegmatis
• Mycobacterium tuberculosis
• Neisseria gonorrhoeae
• Neisseria memingitidis
• Pasteurella septica
• Pneumocystis carinii
• Propionibacterium acnes
• Proteus mirabilis (gram-negative aerobe)
• Proteus vulgaris (gram-negative aerobe)
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa (gram-negative aerobe)*
• Pseudomonas cepacia
• Salmonella enteridis
• Salmonella enteritidis
• Salmonella choleraesuis
• Salmonella paratyphi A
• Salmonella typhimurium
• Serratia marcescens (gram-negative aerobe)
• Shigella dysenteriae
• Shigella flexneri
• Shigella sonnei
• Staphylococcus aureus (gram-positive aerobe, responsible for "Golden Staph")**
• Staphylococcus saprophyticus (a gram-positive, coagulase-negative bacterium, recognized as a cause of urinary tract infections since the early 1970s)
• Streptococcus faecalis (now classified as Enterococcus faecalis)
• Streptococcus mutans (alpha-hemolytic Streptococcus), also known as Group A Streptococcus (GAS)
• Streptococcus pneumoniae (alpha-hemolytic Streptococcus), also known as Group A Streptococcus (GAS)
• Streptococcus pyogenes (beta-hemolytic Streptococcus), also known as Group B Streptococcus (GBS)
• Streptococcus sanguis (alpha-hemolytic Streptococcus), also known as Group A Streptococcus (GAS)
• Streptococcus viridans (alpha-hemolytic Streptococcus), also known as Group A Streptococcus (GAS)
• Streptomyces species
• Treponema pallidum
• Ureaplasma urealyticum - a species of detrimental ureaplasma bacteria, a genus of bacteria belonging to the family Mycoplasmataceae. Mycoplasma, also known as Asterococcus, is a genus of aerobic to facultatively anaerobic, gram-negative detrimental bacteria. Several species are pathogenic in humans, including Mycoplasma fermentans, Mycoplasma genitalum and Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

  U. urealyticum - the phylogenetic cluster of M. pneumoniae, is part of the normal genital flora of both men and women. It is found in about 70 percent of sexually active humans. It is believed to be sexually transmitted and transmitted from mother to infant.

  Ureaplasma urealyticum infection may cause urinary tract infections (UTIs), urinary tract/kidney stones (struvite stones), non-specific urethritis (NSU), nongonorrheal urethritis and prostatitis in men. It has also been noted as one of the infectious causes of sterile pyuria (pus in urine).

  Penicillins are ineffective as U. urealyticum does not have a cell wall, which is the drug's main target.

• Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus (VRE)

* PLEASE NOTE : Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common bacterium found in soil, water, skin flora and most man-made environments. An opportunistic pathogen of immunocompromised individuals vulnerable to infections, it typically infects the pulmonary tract, urinary tract, burns, wounds, and also causes other blood infections.

P. aeruginosa is the third leading cause of hospital-acquired urinary tract infections, accounting for approximately 12 percent of all infections of this type. They are usually related to urinary tract catheterization, instrumentation or surgery.

It is a common cause of post-operative infection in radial keratotomy (RK) eye surgery patients and of "hot-tub rash" (dermatitis), caused by lack of proper periodic attention to water quality.

P. aeruginosa appears to be among the most adherent of common urinary pathogens to the bladder uroepithelium. An infection can occur via an ascending or descending route.

P. aeruginosa can also invade the bloodstream from the urinary tract. This route is the source of approximately 40 percent of P. aeruginosa infections.

P. aeruginosa can cause chronic opportunistic infections. These kinds of infections are a serious problem for medical care. Many patients, immunocompromised and the elderly in particular, often cannot be treated effectively with traditional antibiotic therapy.

As a highly relevant opportunistic pathogen, P. aeruginosa has low antibiotic susceptibility. It is naturally resistant to a large range of antibiotics and may demonstrate additional resistance after unsuccessful treatment.

Therefore, choosing an antibiotic should be guided according to laboratory sensitivities, rather than empirically. However, if antibiotics are started empirically - with some exceptions, given by injection only - then cultures should be obtained and, after having the culture results available, the choice of an antibiotic used should be carefully reviewed.

** PLEASE NOTE : In case of Staphylococcus aureus infections, Uribiotic Formula can be a part of a combined antibiotic therapy as it may enhance the effectiveness of pharmaceutical antibiotics for the UTI treatment.

Uribiotic Formula: An Immune Booster

An immune-boosting Uribiotic Formula helps to increase the natural safeguards - bodily defense systems that protect the urinary tract against pathogenic, infection-causing bacteria, such as:

• the flow of urine which functions as an antiseptic, helping to wash potentially harmful bacteria out of the body during normal urination. (Urine is normally sterile, that is, free of bacteria, viruses, and fungi!);
• the ureters (muscular ducts that propel urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder) and the bladder;
• the immune defenses and antibacterial substances in the mucous lining of the bladder;
• the bladder lining cells that, literally, sacrifice themselves and self-destruct to fight off detrimental bacteria (a process called apoptosis). In so doing, they fall away from the lining, carrying the bacteria with them. This process, suggested by some interesting research, eliminates about 90% of the E. coli;
• the vagina which is colonized - in normal fertile women - by lactobacilli, beneficial micro-organisms that maintain a highly acidic environment (low pH). Lactobacilli also produce hydrogen peroxide, which helps eliminate bacteria and reduces the ability of E. coli to adhere to vaginal cells;
• the so-called human beta-defensin-1 (HBD-1) which fights E. coli within the female urinary and reproductive tracts -.a possible natural antibiotic identified by some researchers;
• the antibacterial actions of some secretions of the prostate gland probably for why men are less likely than women to develop urinary tract infection.

Uribiotic Formula: Health Benefits

Formulated with care by a master formulator and manufactured according to the highest standards, this unique synergistic combination can help you deal with a bladder and/or even a kidney infection:

• safely,
• effectively, and
• with no side effects.

Thousands of UTI sufferers around the world have proven the efficacy of this approach. And what is most important, there has not been a single reported harm done by taking the Uribiotic Formula.

But don't take our word for it - try it out yourself.

First Signs of Relief Within 24-48 Hours

Uribiotic Formula can cause an almost instant disappearance of

• the painful burning sensation when urinating,
• the need for frequent urination,
• the inability to empty the bladder completely even though you have the urge.

Uribiotic Formula can help to eliminate:

• the harmful bacteria from the inside of the urinary tract without disrupting the normal body functions.

Uribiotic Formula can help you prevent and remedy:

• both acute and repeated (chronic) urinary tract infections, and
• the need and dependence on antibiotics.

The results, however, may vary from person to person depending on the type of diagnosis (urine tests and/or symptoms), the type of bacteria, degree of severity of UTI (ranging from minor to serious), type of UTI (cystitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis), history of antibiotic intake (as this can be a cause of repeated UTIs), structural abnormalities, age, sex and other existing health conditions such as diabetes mellitus and/or any immuno-compromised state. Besides, about half of women with symptoms of a UTI actually have irritation of the urethra, vaginitis, candidiasis, interstitial cystitis, or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Some of these problems may also accompany or lead to UTIs.

Our Clients Write to Us:

December 8, 2017

Hello Mr. Andrew Mierzejewski,

Let me start off by saying (and please keep in mind that I rarely submit feedbacks) that I had to send in this positive opinion on Uribiotic Formula and UT ProbioticsUltra. These two paired up equal excellence!

Dear Uribiotic Team,

For years I have been plagued with UTI's. Each time trying to fight it off with baking soda, Alka-Seltzer, drinking lots of water and searching the web for natural remedies, only to end up at the dreaded Urgent Care to get antibiotics. Some of them even gave me bad side effects.

Hello, again, Full of Health Team!

Problem solved! The infection is GONE! I just thought you might want to know this in case you get any customers notifying you that URIBIOTIC doesn't seem to be working.

Safe and Effective in Animals

I just wanted to say THANKS so much! I got the Uribiotic Formula and started the treatment. And my dog is doing so much better! No more blood in the urine or getting up at night having to go to the bathroom. She is happy and no more pain.

Therapeutic and Preventive Intake: Directions

In case of first signs of discomfort (slight burning sensation when urinating, frequent urination and/or inability to empty bladder completely) you need to take:

• 4 capsules 3 times daily; therefore, for full benefits, 2 bottles of Uribiotic Formula will be needed.

Our ironclad recommendation: A 6-day therapeutic intake (1 bottle) and, then, an additional 6-day prophylactic intake (1 more bottle) to improve and/or restore the urinary tract’s normal pH, boost the natural safeguards - bodily defense systems that protect the urinary tract against pathogenic, infection-causing bacteria, therefore, to prevent recurring UTIs.

In case persistent signs of UTI (painful burning sensation when urinating, frequent urination at night and/or inability to empty bladder completely) you need to take:

• 4 capsules 3 times daily; therefore, for full benefits, 3 bottles of Uribiotic Formula will be needed.

Our ironclad recommendation: A 12-day therapeutic intake (2 bottles) and, then, an additional 6-day prophylactic intake (1 more bottle) to improve and/or restore the urinary tract’s normal pH, boost the natural safeguards - bodily defense systems that protect the urinary tract against pathogenic, infection-causing bacteria, therefore, to prevent recurring UTIs.

PLEASE NOTE: When acute nephritis (kidney infection) is present - accompanied by high fever along with sudden retention of urine (a painful urge to pass urine but the inability to do so) - have your condition assessed immediately by your physician.

II. Chronic/Repeated UTIs:

In case of recurrent, repeated UTIs (all the above symptoms along with the need and dependence on, or a history of frequent antibiotic use) you need to take:

• 4 capsules 3 times daily; therefore, for full benefits, 4 bottles of Uribiotic Formula will be needed.

Our ironclad recommendation: An 18-day therapeutic intake (3 bottles) and, then, an additional 6-day prophylactic intake (1 more bottle) to improve and/or restore the urinary tract’s normal pH, boo the natural safeguards - bodily defense systems that protect the urinary tract against pathogenic, infection-causing bacteria, therefore, to prevent recurring UTIs.

PLEASE NOTE: When acute nephritis (kidney infection) is present - accompanied by high fever along with sudden retention of urine (a painful urge to pass urine but the inability to do so) - have your condition assessed immediately by your physician.

When to Take Uribiotic: Directions

Take the capsules throughout the day (in the morning - beginning after breakfast, then, at noon, and in the afternoon) away from food, that is either 15 minutes before a meal or about one hour following a meal, each time with Ѕ glass of purified room-temperature water, preferably alkaline. Both the early eaters and late eaters should have their morning dose of Uribiotic one hour after the first meal of the day (more commonly known as breakfast).

Uribiotic Formula is not recommended to be taken during pregnancy as it can cause contractions of the uterus due to presence of Goldenseal and hydroquinone (via arbutin present in Uva Ursi/Bearberry).

URIBIOTIC FORMULA should be consumed with caution by patients on a high dose of warfarin (blood thinner) due to the presence, although in an insignificant amount, of garlic which may potentiate the anticoagulant effects of warfarin. (Reference: Fugh-Berman, A. Herb-drug interactions. Lancet. 355(9198):134-138, 2000).

Although symptoms-free, please DO NOT stop taking Uribiotic Formula and continue to use it until all bottles are empty.

Once again, please note that the results may vary from person depending on the type of diagnosis (urine tests and/or symptoms), the type of bacteria, degree of severity of UTI (ranging from minor to serious), type of UTI (cystitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis), history of antibiotic intake (as this can be a cause of repeated UTIs), structural abnormalities, age, sex and other existing health conditions such as diabetes mellitus and/or any immuno-compromised state. Besides, about half of women with symptoms of a UTI actually have irritation of the urethra, vaginitis, candidiasis, interstitial cystitis, or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Some of these problems may also accompany or lead to UTIs.

In order to enhance the therapeutic, protective and preventive (prophylactic) effects of Uribiotic Formula, especially in case of stubborn, severe and complex urinary tract infections, you may consider taking with it other supporting, bacteria-specific supplements, such as:

• d-Mannose MAX Powder
• True Oregano Oil
• UT Probiotics Ultra Strength.

Attention Male Adults!

Besides bladder infections, men quite often suffer from undiagnosed prostate infection (prostatitis) and/or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous swelling of the prostate gland. Therefore, we recommend taking Uribiotic Formula along with another specialty supplement targeted for prostate health: European DP Extract.

Bladder Infection: Spinal Cord Injuries

Neurological conditions like paraplegia, a spinal cord injury, also called spinal cord impairment (SCI), usually result in a neurogenic bladder - an unstable or atonic bladder (with no muscle tone).

People with spinal cord injuries have lost, partial or complete, control over their bladder and sphincter due to the compromised nerve receptors that are responsible for:

• contracting and relaxing the muscles of the bladder and the sphincter, and
• registering feelings of pressure or release.

Due to this condition, most paraplegics are exposed to the regular use of catheters and drugs. (The more traditional cap and bag, with continual drainage, is falling from favor even though it is a safer system).

However, catheters often increase the risk of the urinary tract injuries and repeated bladder infections - a common problem in people with spinal cord impairment.

Exposed to repeated or long-term courses of antibiotics, in time, they also develop resistance to drugs what makes maintaining healthy urinary tract for them even more difficult.

Contrary to a popular belief and common medical practice, people with spinal cord injuries or spinal cord impairment do NOT have to:

• suffer from chronic bladder-kidney infections and
• be exposed to vicious antibiotics.

It is our clinical experience that paraplegics, expecially those who use catheters, can successfully remedy, and most importantly, prevent bladder-kidney infections with the help of our proprietary UTI Uribiotic Formula.

Therefore, you, or someone you know or hold dear, who suffers from spinal cord injury, should give this superb herbal blend serious consideration.

• Traces of blood in the urine
• Painful urination – dog, cat is crying or straining when attempting to urinate.

• Bacteria thrive in an alkaline environment;
• The urine passed by a healthy dog normally has a slightly pH level;
• A healthy pH level for most dogs is pH 6 to 6.5 if the dog is on a well-balanced species appropriate diet;
• Dog's and cat's are evolved to eat real meat - not processed dry dog food. Unprocessed real meat makes urine slightly acidic thus creating an environment that is not friendly for overgrowth of bacteria.

• Commercially manufactured dry dog and cat food is not a species appropriate food for multiple reasons.
  • Dogs and cats are not evolved to eat and thrive on:
    • Dry processed food that:
      • Lacks moisture;
      • Has been processed.
        • Heated at very high temperatures and double cooked;
        • Has lost most its beneficial amino acids, enzymes, micro-organisms etc.
        • That contains multiple toxic ingredients such as chemical based preservatives and food colouring
        • Inflammatory ingredients - gains, sugar, chemical preservatives, etc.,
        • Genetically modified foods (high in pesticide residue etc.);
        • and other inappropriate ingredients such as powdered cellulose which is wood pulp;
        • In-fact and most shocking the bulk of veterinary prescribed dry dog and cat foods are a perfect example of foods that cause UTIs - you can see why here.
• A vegan diet that is not supplemented with enough vitamin C.

• An acquired habit of holding urine – i.e. dog, cat does not get enough and regular opportunities to urinate;
• Insufficient access to fresh, clean drinking water;
• Some medications, prolonged use of specific medications;
• Transfer of bacteria from the anus to the urethra;
• Transfer of bacteria from lying down on a contaminated surface, and;
• UTIs are often caused when bacteria, fungi or parasites find their way into the bladder or uretha. As female dogs and cats have shorter urethras they are more vulnerable to infection via surface contaminates.
• A toxic load.

• Bacteria overgrowth;
• Cystitus (inflammation of the bladder due to bacteria overgrowth);
• Urinary Crystals and Stones:
• Alkalinity can cause minerals that should be flushed out of the bladder to instead settle in the bladder;
  • The mineral molecules may then form crystals;
  • The mineral-based crystals are sharp particles that move around in the bladder scrapping the bladder lining which may result in inflammation of the bladder;
  • In addition the crystals can bond together to form bladder stones.

• In the lower urinary tract;
• In the bladder, or;
• In the kidneys.

• Overuse of antibiotics is a huge health risk for your dog and cat;
  • When your dog or cat is on antibiotics his/her immune system is suppressed leaving your dog and cat vulnerable to a host of other issues;
  • As well, the more times a dog and cat is on antibiotic the greater chance of the dog’s, cat's system acquiring an immunity to antibiotics – a potentially life-threatening situation.

Treatments for UTIs

To treat the symptoms, remedy the condition and prevent re-occurance the best approach is a holistic one comprised of several strategic steps which work together to remedy the situation without conventional drugs that will further suppress the immune system and cause adverse side effects.

Step 2 - Ingested Treatment to Reduce Inflammation and Kill Bad Bacteria;

Step 3 - Add Herbs to Food at Meal Time;

Step 4 - Improve Your Dog's, Cat's Daily Diet

• Steep two or three bags of green tea;
  • Allow the tea to cool to room temperature;
• Add the juice of a fresh lemon to the cooled tea;
• Add the lemon-tea mixture to 4 litres/1 gallon of room temperature water;
• Add 2 tbs of organic, unfiltered, apple cider vinegar;
• Use the resulting liquid to bath your dog. You can choose to just cleanse your dog’s underside and under his/her tail, or bath your dog’s, cat's entire body;

of The Following Options

Mix the following together in a bowl:

• Fresh lemon juice from the juice of 1 lemon (you can also add some minced lemon pulp from the lemon if desired);

  • If your dog or cat has low blood pressure using cat's claw may further lower blood pressure.
• Drug Interactions…
  • Medications changed by the liver;
  • Medications that are moved by pumps into cells;
  • Medications that decrease the immune system - i.e. corticosteriods medicines such as cyclosporine, prednisone.

Golden Seal

• Health Benefits – partial list…
  • Golden seal is an herbal plant that contains the chemical berberine;
  • Berberine is:
    • Antibacterial;
    • Antifungal.
• Can be used in dry herb form or tincture.
• Cautions…
  • If your dog or cat is pregnant or lactating don’t use golden seal as an ingested supplement;
  • Don’t use golden seal as an ingested treatment for new-born puppies or kittens.
• Drug Interactions…
  • Cyclosporine;
  • Medications changed by the liver;
  • Medications that are moved by pumps into cells.

• Licorice has been used for centuries as a medicinal herb to treat a wide variety of issues. The medicinal properties are derived from the root of the licorice plant. Licorice is an effective, fast acting anti-inflammatory which can completely replace or greatly reduce the need for corticosteroids.
• The chemical glycyrrhizin is the active anti-inflammatory agent in licorice. Glycyrrhzin is and anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial.
• The anti-arthritic actions of licorice is comparable to that of hydrocortisone – the difference is that licorice does not suppress the immune system – hydrocortisone does.
  • Licorice does not interfere with corticosteroid drugs therefore licorice can be used as a supportive adjunct as it has a strengthening effect which allows for lower doses of corticosteroids. This is important for dogs in long-term therapies as the serious debilitating side effects of steroid drugs may be mitigated by taking lower doses. Licorice can also be used to wean the dog off of steroids safely.

• Licorice is naturally sweet and has a flavour that most dogs enjoy;
• You can use licorice to mask the less favoured taste of other herbs that your dog may need to ingest but not like the taste of;
• Use a low-alcohol licorice root extract (alcohol should represent 5% to 10% of the total volume of the tincture);
• Dosage
  • Tincture - 12 to 20 drops per every 20 lbs of body weight two times daily.
  • Tea – 24 to 40 drops per every 20 lbs of body weight two times daily.
  • Don’t use for more than 2 weeks at a time – unless you have been instructed by a professional to do otherwise.
  • If you must use for more than two weeks make sure that you add dandelion to the diet so that increased potassium requirement is met and elimination of excess sodium is enabled.
• Cautions
  • Do not give to a pregnant or lactating dog.
• Side effects…
  • As noted further above.
• Drug Interactions…
  • Licorice may interfere with blood thinning drugs;
  • Medications changed by the liver;
  • Medications for high blood pressure;
  • Diuretic drugs.

• Safe to use daily as a dietary supplement for most dogs and cats.
• Use dry powder or supplement form.
• The powdered bark has a very agreeable scent.
• Slippery elm contains astringent tannins that sooth and reduce inflammation, reduce swelling and heal tissue. Helps to heal internal and mucosal tissues;
• When added to water the powdered bark creates a soothing mucilage (a thick water-based solution) which can be used to moisten and sooth. The powder can be mixed into your dog`s or cat`s food with some added moisture – I use homemade stock or puree - chicken or meat based, and/or fruit or vegetable based.

• Cautions…
  • Use moderation when giving slippery elm to a pregnant or lactating dog or cat
• Side Effects…
  • None
• Interactions…
  • Slippery elm contains a soft fibre called mucilage which can decrease how much medicine the body absorbs. Ingesting slippery elm at the same time that an oral mendicant is taken can decrease the efficacy of the medication;
  • To prevent this interaction administer the slippery elm at last one hour after giving ingested medications.

Also known by the name: Carduus marianus, Silybum mariamum, Silybum, Silybin, Silymarin, Silymarine, St. Mary’s Thistle, Marianus, Marianum, Our Lady’s Thistle, etc.

• The seed (the fruit) of the milk thistle that contains silymarin;
  • Silymarin:
    • Is a flavonol (antioxidant) that protects the liver from oxidation;
    • Blocks hepatotixic substances from crossing cell membranes – acting to protect the liver from toxic substances;
    • Stimulates cell regeneration.
    • Silymarin:
      • Is stored in the liver where it contributes to regeneration and protection of the liver;
      • Which also in-turn works to protect the immune system and metabolism.

• Dry powder;
• Liqued;
• Tea - infusion;
• Tincture - use alcohol-free only;
• Supplement - capsule, pill;
• Or as part of a silymarin phosphatidylcholine complex,
• (Also sold in combination with dandelion and other herbs)

If your dog or cat suffers from chronic UTI you need to change your dog’s or cat's diet…

• Remove all grains from the diet;
  • corn, wheat, barley, rice, oatmeal, quinoa, etc.
• Use only good source protein – organic is best: meat, fish, eggs, dairy, legumes, etc.
• Use carbohydrates from nutritionally dense foods such as sweet potatoes, squash.
• Add nutrient rich whole foods such as steamed or frozen/thawed veggies (i.e. carrots, broccoli, cauliflower) and fresh fruit high in vitamin C as discussed in this article;
• The best diet is a well balanced, grain-free, toxin-free:
  • Raw-food diet, or fresh food combined with low temprature cooked food homemade nutritionally complete, biologically/species appropriate
  • If you must feed commercial processed dry or wet food make sure you know how to select a better product - don't assume you know - must people, even those that think they know - do not.

It's me again, Jackie. I also bought licorice in capsules. They are 450mg. How much should I give my two dogs, 8 lbs and 12 lbs? Thanks again.

Hi Jackie - for the Uva-Ursi and the licorice 1/2 capsule 2 to 3 times a day - dosage is provided in the article under the Daily Dosage Guideline Chart.

Great. Thank you. I wasn't sure if the dosage chart was also for the Uva-Ursi.

Veterinarian prescribed dog food is a) very expensive to purchase and b) is full of health threatening species inappropriate toxic and carcinogenic ingredients - it is in-fact one of the worst types of 'food' available. Your veterinarian is absolutely incorrect - but then he is making a lot of money pedaling his/her unethical prescription dog 'food'.

I would like to use the topical treatment for my do who is prone to UTI's. I was wondering if limes can be used in place of the lemons. We do not have lemons here in Mexico but limes are available by the truckload. :) Thank you!

Limes are fine Christine - but try to use organic.

100% organic only - do not add water. Can be part of daily diet BUT If your dog has chronic UTIs it is a clear indication his diet is inappropriate and his immune and renal system are not being supported by that diet.

Hello Karen, My 12 1/2 year old Brittany has had 4 UTI's in the past year. Prior to this she has never had a UTI. She is also having a problem with her coat not growing back after we had her clipped in May and her skin is flaking. My veterinarian recommended a canine immune system supplement and a canine renal support supplement that they sell. Upon getting them home I noticed that the immune system support has nutritional yeast as the second ingredient and the renal support has nutritional yeast as the 7th ingredient. .Both of these products also have oat flour, defatted wheat germ and mushroom as ingredients. It is my understanding that the yeast and mushroom can contribute to the problem along with the grains. Is this correct? Should I continue with the supplements from the vet?

I am feeding her a dehydrated grain free dog food with free range chicken and no ingredients from China. She is on sulfamethoprim right now and I supplement her diet with plain greek yogurt and a 15 billion live cultures per capsule probiotic while on the antibiotic.

Thank you so very much.

99% of veterinarian prescribed food and supplements contain multiple listed and hidden toxins, carcinogens, known allergens, endocrine disruptor and otherwise immune system destroying substances. Specific types of mushrooms are important holistic nutraceuticals. The mushrooms themselves are not a problem - the source of the mushrooms in the product are. The product you are using contains non-organic mushrooms.Much bigger concern are the inflammatory, ingredients in your veterinarian prescribed supplements - and I can guarantee there are also non-active listed toxic ingredients in the product as well unlisted toxins. The root cause of your dog's chronic infections is the current diet - the vet supplements will simply serve to make matters worse.

This is very helpful thank you! Our Corgi/Beagle mix shows signs of UTI (peeing every 20 step s on walks, peeing when nothings coming out, peeing on inside rug) about every 3 months. 200$ later on tests at vet show nothing. I'd like to supplement her diet with Cranberry Powder that I read about- Do you recommend one in particular? I assume "human" powder would work (found at Sprouts/whole foods/Trader Joes?)

Hello Dear Karen, My 8 yr old female spayed golden started just today with (what I am assuming) U.T.I. multiple attempts at peeing, bloody colored pee (tinged red) and frequent peeing. she is not showing any other signs like lethargic or pee mistakes in house or asking to go out or excess drinking. As I am very observant of her, I assume it started just this morning. She does not eat dry dog food, she is on a raw organic chicken, tuna, cococut oil, grapeseed oil, glucosamine powder, brewers's yeast, minced garlic, multiple veggies, fruits diet. The raw chicken has been started exclusively for the last 6 weeks. She gets tuna in the a.m., chicken at nite. She gets raw organic free range eggs with both meals. She gets a lot of exercise since we live in the country and at the beach. Today I gave her A.C.V. Three times about a teaspoon in her yogurt (none sugar, high acidophilus content) plus 5x 300mg tablets (which I broke open and sprinkled on her tuna) of cranberry powder

Dear Karen . on her last walk of the evening, I collected all her pee on paper towels to see if there was any traces of blood and nothing, Could I of caught it so early, that it is cleared in 12 hrs with the A.C.V, organic cranberry powder and lots of water with her yogurt and tuna. I cut the raw chicken out just to make it easier on her digestion for today. Any advice, much appreciated?! Thank you. M

Yes, if caught early enough it is very possible to remedy a UTI in the space of 12 hours - I have cleared UTI's in early stage in 2 to 3 hours :>)
