Many pet owners have turned to homeopathic remedies that support bladder health to keep their dogs healthy and infection-free. Since the ingredients in these supplements work like antibiotics (without the side effects), they can be used for treatment as well as prevention. If your dog does have a UTI, the ingredients will clear up the infection fast and prevent recurrences by keeping the tissues healthy and creating an environment that discourages the growth of bacteria.
