Symptoms of UTI infection in pets

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are uncomfortable and extremely painful. They tend to be more common in cats than dogs and can be caused by bacterial infection, bladder stones or urolithiasis (stones in the urinary tract).

UTIs often recur and can lead to more serious kidney infections if left untreated.

Symptoms include

Straining to urinate
Obvious pain or discomfort when urinating
Constantly licking their genitals
Frequent urination without passing much urine
Urinating in unusual places
Cloudy or bloody urine
Fever and loss of condition

What is the conventional treatment?

Conventional treatment of UTIs will depend on the specific cause of the problem. In many cases, antibiotics are prescribed which invariably relieve the animal’s symptoms rather speedily.

However antibiotics tend to have a general weakening effect on the immune system which can cause further problems, especially in the long-term and particularly if they are prescribed regularly for recurrent infections.

What is UTI-Free?

UTIFree is a selected combination of herbal and homeopathic ingredients especially formulated to safely and effectively treat the causes and the symptoms of urinary tract and bladder infections in pets.

Use PetAlive UTIFree To:

Naturally treat the symptoms of UTI infections in pets
Maintain urinary tract and bladder health
Prevent recurring infections

What are the ingredients of PetAlive UTIFree?

PetAlive UTIFree contains the following 100% natural ingredients:

(Contains no gluten, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives)

Arctostaphylos uva ursi is a well known urinary antiseptic and excellent treatment for cystitis and all urinary tract problems. This herb contains the glycoside arbutin as the main active constituent. Hydroquinone derived from arbutin and methylarbutin is a powerful anti-bacterial agent and is thought to be responsible for uva ursi’s ability to treat urinary tract infections.

Berberis vulgaris: This widely studied herb contains berberine as a main constituent. Berberine is a recognized antibacterial agent and has been shown to kill amoebae in test tube studies. It also prevents bacteria from attaching to cell walls, reduces inflammation and strengthens immune functioning, thereby warding off infection and acting as a preventative as well as a natural antibiotic. Berberis also helps to treat the symptoms of diarrhea, especially if related to E.Coli infection.

Cantharis C6 is prescribed homeopathically for a variety of conditions, including severe cystitis and the burning urine associated with bladder infections, as well as the inability to pass more than a few drops of urine at a time.

Staphysagris C6 is a proven homeopathic remedy also recommended for urogenital problems such as cystitis, as well as urine retention sometimes associated with prostate problems.

How has PetAlive UTIFree helped others?

“Your UTI Free quickly brought relief to our cat who was visiting the sandbox rather too often. She has had previous bladder infections so we could recognize the symptoms early. Just a few doses had her back to normal again with no need for a visit to the vet and the invariable antibiotics.” - Owen G.

“Due to diabetes our cat has ut infections very often no matter what we do. I think the antibiotics make it worse and with your UTI product there is a big improvement since her last infection which cleared very fast and has not returned. Thank you for all the help.” - Belinda Travis.

“I am very happy to report that the UTI-Free cleared the infection within days and it has not returned. I will keep it handy for when we need it again.” - Tobias

How do we use UTIFree?

PetAlive UTIFree comes in convenient dissolvable granule form. The fine granules are easy to administer to pets of all sizes and personalities and are simply sprinkled on the back of the tongue and left to dissolve. No fuss and bother!

Cats and small dogs: Large pinch of granules sprinkled into the mouth.
Small to medium dogs: Half fill inner circle of lid and sprinkle into mouth.
Medium to large dogs: Fill inner circle of lid and sprinkle into mouth.

Acute Conditions: Administer every 30 minutes for up to 6 doses a day or until symptoms subside. Thereafter administer two to three times daily for at least 7 days more or for as long as is necessary.

Chronic Use (for animals with recurring UTI infections): Two doses of PetAlive UTIFree daily to maintain urinary tract health.

How long until we see results?

Symptoms should begin to clear within a few days and should be under control within 7 - 10 days.

If your pet is run down or has recently been on antibiotics, it is recommended that you also administer a 10 - 14 day course of Immunity and Liver Support to strengthen functioning of the immune system.

How long does one bottle last?

One bottle of PetAlive UTIFree will last 15 - 30 days depending on usage and size of your pet.

What else can I do to help my pet?

Avoid dehydration and ensure your pet has easy access to fresh water in a regularly cleaned bowl. Filtered or bottled water is preferable to chlorinated or fluorinated water.
Your pet needs easy access to a place where he can urinate whenever he needs to. ‘Holding it in’ for long periods of time can lead to chronic bladder problems.
Ensure your pet is eating a balanced, high quality diet with plenty of raw and unprocessed food (preferably organic). Avoid dried foods as much as possible and do not give your pet anything containing sugar.
Avoid exposure to toxins and chemicals as much as possible including pesticides, herbicides, commercial flea collars, flea powder, insecticides and second-hand cigarette smoke.
Use Immunity and Liver Support capsules to boost your pet’s immune functioning and resistance against disease and infection.
Talk to a holistic vet before immunizing your pet. Over-vaccination may stress the immune system unnecessarily and result in a vulnerability to recurring infection.
Regular exercise will help to keep your pet healthy and fit.
Minimize the stress in your pet’s environment.
