Urinary Tract Infections

Urinary Tract Infections
Signs of a Urinary Tract Infection in your pet could be frequent urination, straining to urinate, blood in the urine, foul smelling urine, urination in inappropriate places, fever and lethargy.    

Prevention of Urinary Tract Infections
There are a few steps you can take at home to decrease the incidence of Urinary Tract Infections.  Make sure that your pet has access to plenty of clean, fresh water.  Let your pet outside every few hours to help him eliminate bacteria. If you have an indoor cat, make sure their litter box is always accessible and clean.  Also, taking your dog on at least two walks a day will increase the frequency of urination and may reduce the risk of infection.
