The bladder’s glycosaminoglycan (GAG) layer in dogs acts as a protective barrier against irritation and bacterial adhesion. When this lining is compromised, inflammation and recurring urinary issues become more likely. When dogs experience recurring urinary issues, the focus often turns to bacteria, urine pH, or supplements. But none of those address the surface those bacteria…
Hydration isn’t just about water intake — it determines urine concentration, bladder irritation, bacterial adhesion, and whether urinary supplements can work at all. Introduction When dogs struggle with recurring urinary issues, the conversation usually centers around bacteria, urine pH, or supplements. But there is a more fundamental variable that quietly determines whether any urinary strategy…
Introduction If your dog keeps getting urinary tract infections (UTIs), it’s natural to assume the problem is lingering bacteria — or that antibiotics simply “didn’t work.” But recurrent UTIs in dogs are rarely about bacteria alone. The real issue often lies in how bacteria physically attach to the bladder wall, evade flushing, and re-establish infection…
