VETRISCIENCEBladder Health Smoke Flavored Chewable Tablets, Bladder Strength & Urinary Tract Supplement for Dogs, for Leakage and Overactive Bladders, 90 Count

So I am sure this may not fit for all dogs, because each case is different, but it worked great for my dog. I have already reordered more. It has been a lifesaver for us. Here is our situation so hopefully this helps others in a similar situation:My dog is a 1.5 yr old Border Collie/Black Lab mix. She was fully house trained very young and really never ever had accidents in the house. She was spayed at about 4 months.She did have 'nervous' excited pee-pee once and a while, for example when new guests came to the house, but that was very predictable, a small amount and happened only once in a great while.Then suddenly one evening recently we found her laying in a puddle - where she always sleeps/relaxes in a corner of the kitchen on the cool floor. She was drenched and it was a huge puddle, not a few drops - really out of nowhere. From then on it was really bad - happening maybe 4 times a day. She had no idea what was happening and was clearly upset by it. It would always happen when she was laying down relaxing or sleeping - mostly in the evenings.I took her to the vet and they gave her antibiotics to clear up any UTI and see if that would fix the issue. She did the full course and no change.Next visit, the vet said that some adult spayed females develop spay incontinence as adult dogs - happening at age 1 or later and they lose control of their bladder because the spaying removes the estrogen source and the dog essentially has no hormones left that help with bladder control. He said there were 2 presciption choices - hormone replacement or Proin. Both choices come with risks so I wanted to check out other options first.Now it gets really interesting...I found this Bladder Strength product and read the good reviews and ordered some. While waiting for it to arrive, I was reading online and found an article where someone cured their dog's bladder problems with soy-based dog food. Then I remembered that the main ingredient in Bladder Strength is a soy extract. And ...women use soy supplements to help with post-menopause and post-hysterectomy symptoms...This all makes total sense with what my vet was telling me about the cause of her incontinence being from spaying! SOY was the key...Soy is a plant estrogen and it can work as a replacement for the missing estrogen in the body.So...armed with all this new knowledge I decide to go look at the ingredients in her current dog food - no soy products. Hmmm. And lo and behold I think back and realize about 4 weeks earlier I had SWITCHED HER FOOD. I looked up her old food ingredients online and voila - loaded with soy. So I inadvertently caused her sudden bladder problems by switching her from her mainstay to a new 'healthier' no filler food!! The soy in the food she had been eating her entire life up to then was soy filled - and was apparently acting as an estrogen replacement for her. I immediately quit giving her the new 'healthy' soy-free food and switched back to the old soy food. Within a few days, her puddles were greatly reduced - not gone - but a big improvement.After about a week back on the old dog food, the Bladder Strength arrived. Since she was not 'cured' completely and because she had always been a 'nervous' pee-pee dog, I decided to start her on the Bladder Strength as well. She is 60 lbs - so 2 pills per day - one on the AM and one in the PM.Within about a week, SHE WAS COMPLETELY CURED!! No puddles, no drips, back to her old happy self!!! And...the nervous pee-pee is also gone! It has been over a month now with no puddles!I think the soy is key, but also the other ingredients in Bladder Strength work together to really help get everything back in working order. She eats them right up like a treat - no problem!So, check your dog food ingredients and see if that might be part of the problem - a soy based food could help...and of course GET SOME BLADDER STRENGTH - it is such a great product.

I have an 85lb 10 year old female mutt (pointerXhound) who was diagnosed with a weak urethral sphincter 6 years ago (spay incontinence). When she was extremely relaxed (sleeping) or very very content, or exhausted she would dribble. It didn’t matter if she was laying or sitting on the floor, her bed, the couch or your lap (yes my 85lb dog will make herself fit into your lap, she doesn’t know she’s a big girl). If she was too relaxed and had urine in her bladder it would dribble out. Sometimes just a few drops, sometimes puddles. She is a heavy drinker, so really, there isn’t any time she doesn’t have a little bit of piddle waiting to be released. Pup gets upset when she has an "accident" in the house (she'll run away from her own vomit) which made these constant dribbles very distressing to her.When she was first diagnosed she was prescribed Proin 50. The medication was fairly inexpensive and it didn’t take much to “dry” her up. We LOVED this stuff! Some days a half a tablet with breakfast and dinner was enough. We kept an eye out for side effect and saw none externally, however, after being on the medication regularly for 6 months she became hypertensive, a serious side effect of the medication.Unfortunately, we were unable to continue with the Proin so we switched to Incurin, another prescription medication for female urinary incontinence. Incurin was significantly more expensive and because it is a hormone can have hormonal side effects. Incurin requires a loading dose to reach full effectiveness. We started with 2 tablets a day and the results were hit or miss. There were days she was fine, but if she drank an excessive amount of water or was very tired (lots of play or a long walk) all bets were off. After a year and a half on the Incurin we were able to successfully wean it back slowly (a tablet a day, down to a tablet every 5 days) but results were still hit or miss. The dribbles were mostly under control except in extreme circumstances.Reading up on incontinence in female dogs and finding that it can be related to lack of hormones to stimulate the muscle tone this made sense. I already knew pup’s problem was weak muscle tone in her urethral sphincters. and her most recent prescription is a hormone. And then I stumbled across this product, VetriScience bladder Strength. With ingredients that support hormone production it was worth a try.We stopped the Incurin and started up on the VetriScience Bladder Strength approx. 30 days ago. She gets 1.5 tables with breakfast and 1.5 tablets with dinner. This stuff works as well as the Incurin. In fact, I am a little hesitant to say, I think it works better than in the Incurin. We have had very few dribbles in the last 30 days. Far fewer than the previous 30 days on prescription pharmaceuticals. The few times we’ve had dribbles have been directly tied to excessive water consumption.The down side, this stuff stinks. It smells like a bottle of liquid smoke. My pup, who is a garbage gut and will eat almost anything, will not eat these on their own so I venture to say they're not terribly palatable. However, if I break them in half and mix them in with her kibble & pumpkin they get gobbled down. I have also smeared them with a little peanut butter which seems to work to disguise the flavour/smell. They could also probably be crushed and mixed into food.We are extremely satisfied with this purchase and will be ordering another bottle shortly. We will continue to use this product because IT WORKS. 2 paws up!
