Anyone with a bladder infection can attest to the discomfort, aching, and discomfort it brings. It’s the same for urinary tract infections in dogs and cats; but because they can’t always say what’s going on, it’s important to know the signs and symptoms to look out for so your pet doesn’t continue to suffer.
Fever, vomiting, or changes in blood values do not accompany urinary tract infections in pets.
Signs of urinary tract infection include:
UTIs are caused by bacteria, with E.coli being the most common.
The urinary tract consists of the kidneys, ureters (tubes that carry urine to the bladder for storage), the urinary bladder, and the urethra that conducts urine outside the body. A urinary tract infection could involve any of these areas. However, when we speak of a urinary tract infection we usually mean “bladder infection”.
In most cases, fever, vomiting, or changes in blood values do not accompany urinary tract infections in cats and dogs. Urinary tract infections are diagnosed by urinalysis, and culture and sensitivities of urine. Chronic, resistant bacterial infections can lead to more serious, life-threatening problems such as kidney infections or bladder stones- an accumulation of crystals forming a stone that can obstruct urine exiting the body or “blocking” urinations. Crystals in the urine can form for many different reasons, but most commonly from bacterial infections and mineral imbalances in the diet.
There are many different prescription diets in the veterinary field for urinary infections. The purpose of these diets is to dissolve or prevent crystals from forming by controlling the levels of magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus as well as the pH of the urine, preventing bacterial infections as well. It is important to have a balanced diet – whether home-cooked or formulated high-quality diet in order to keep urinary pH levels consistent throughout the day.
Complimentary treatments for urinary tract infections include cranberry extract, western herbs such as gravel root, hydrangea, stone root, and corn silk, as well as acupuncture. Making sure to have plenty of water at all times helps flush out the urinary system.
NHV formulas that we have used in combination with antibiotics with success is the combination of NHV Yucca for discomfort, NHV Milk Thistle for liver and kidney support, and NHV Tripsy– a proprietary blend of western herbs like Stone Root, Parsley Piert, Gravel root, and Wild Hydrangea, which help to prevent kidney stones and to help resolve UTIs.
Other supplements from NHV that help with UTI infections in dogs and cats are NHV PetOmega 3 and NHV Turmeric, both of which help with inflammation and reducing oxidative stress.

If your little one is peeing constantly, isn’t eating, or perhaps has sores in their mouth, they may be suffering from kidney stones or urinary tract issues. Our Kidney Stones kit contains a blend of natural ingredients to help support healthy kidneys as well as liver function to improve overall urinary tract health.
If your little one is peeing constantly, isn’t eating, or perhaps has sores in their mouth, they may be suffering from kidney stones or urinary tract issues. Our Kidney Stones kit contains a blend of natural ingredients to help support healthy kidneys as well as liver function to improve overall urinary tract health.
Some people think that kidney stones in cats and dogs and bladder stones are the same, but they aren't! Kidney stones are hardened mineral deposits that form in the kidneys whereas bladder stones form in the bladder. However, it is possible for small kidney stones to travel down to the bladder and become bladder stones. So to help prevent kidney stones and promote urinary health, Tripsy and Milk Thistle work together to strengthen the liver and kidneys, soothe inflammation, and encourage gentle urine flow to keep things moving.
Kidney stones and urinary crystals may be a source of depression for your sweet furkiddo. The diuretic and antimicrobial properties in Tripsy gently increase urine flow to help reduce mineral deposits and help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Ingredients like stone root, wild hydrangea, and gravel root have a long history of being used to help to prevent and break down kidney stones and crystals and relieve discomfort. Milk Thistle adds antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support to help encourage cell regeneration, promote healthy liver and kidney function, and promote gentle detoxification.
Your furkiddo’s health and wellness means everything to us. For our Kidney Stones kit, we have worked with a holistic vet and a master herbalist to formulate gentle yet effective remedies to help relieve inflammation and keep things flowing. For any questions or concerns about your little one’s urinary tract health, don’t hesitate to reach out to an NHV Pet Expert - we are always here to help!
