Can help prevent urinary tract infections

When the term "may help prevent urinary tract infections" is used in connection with dog food, it means that the food contains ingredients that can reduce the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in dogs. These ingredients work in several ways to support the health of the urinary system and prevent infections:

  1. pH regulation: certain ingredients can help regulate the pH of urine. A balanced urine pH can inhibit the growth of bacteria that cause UTIs.
  2. Increasing urine volume: Feed formulation can aim to increase fluid intake and therefore urine production, which helps to flush the urinary tract regularly and flush out bacteria.
  3. Antibacterial properties: Some ingredients may have natural antibacterial properties that inhibit the growth of bacteria that could otherwise cause urinary tract infections.
  4. Immune system boost: Nutrients such as vitamins and minerals can boost the immune system, helping the dog's body to fight infections more effectively.
  5. Health-promoting substances: Ingredients such as cranberries or certain herbs are known for their potential benefits in preventing UTIs.

It is important to note that dog food labeled as helpful in preventing UTIs is not a substitute for medical treatment. A veterinarian should always be consulted if there are signs of a UTI. However, such foods can serve as part of a holistic approach to promoting overall urinary tract health.
