PetAlive UTI-Free (granules)
[PUTI001]

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

Pet Alive UTI Free is for Bladder and Urinary Tract Infections. 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.

INGREDIENTS (15-30 day supply Granules)
PetAlive UTI-Free 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.
