Used these on my vets advice for recovery from antibiotics and UTI in my 18 month old. She's happy and healthy. My dog suffered UTI badly for a number of years, one day one of the vets told me about this product CystoPro, I looked into it, bought it and we are now 6months free of UTI, I personally put it down to this amazing product. The EU-registered strain Enterococcus faecium (DSM 10663/ NCIMB 10415) 4b1707 du pathogenic bacteria within the gastrointestinal tract and the faeces, thereby limiting bacterial colonisation of the perineum. Proanthocyanidins (PACS) which are naturally occurring powerful antioxidants extracted from the North American cranberry. Type A PACs have an anti-adhesion affect, this means they help to reduce the ability of certain bacteria to attach to the bladder lining.

Composition: N-acetyl D-glucosamine, Mannan-oligosaccharide, Gelatin Capsule, Cranberry ( Vaccinium macrocarpon ), Magnesium stearate. Urethral sphincter medications. Medication to help hormonally ‘tighten’ the muscles inside the dog’s urethra that helps to control the exit of urine. This method is suitable for dogs who are experiencing urinary incontinence and have had other causes ruled out first. Control of any underlying disease. This may be long term medication for conditions such as Cushing’s disease and diabetes to reduce the likelihood of recurrence. Prostate disease may be controlled by chemical or surgical castration. Bladder tumours can be medicated to slow their rate of growth. Allow your dog plenty of opportunities to go to the toilet regularly. Regular voiding of the bladder helps to prevent inflammation.

Ingredients 

CystoPro contains an active ingredient derived from cranberries. This active ingredient is a class of antioxidants called Proanthocyanidins (PACs) CystoPro also contains probiotics, prebiotics and N-acetyl D-glucosamine.

Safety– the micro-organism chosen must be non-pathogenic and non-toxic. Within the EU all probiotics must be registered for use in an individual animal species. For example, Enterococcus faecium (NCIMB 10415) E1707 is registered for use in dogs. Mannan-oligosaccharide:Created from purified yeast cell walls, Mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS), binds to receptors on bacterial fimbriae which prevents attachment to epithelial cells. MOS is commonly used as a prebiotic to support intestinal microflora. Feeding any prescription diets as advised by your veterinary surgeon to help prevent further bouts of stones/crystals.

N-acetyl D-glucosamine is a precursor to Chondroitin sulphate and Keratin sulphate which make up the Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) layer that lines and protects the sensitive bladder urothelium. A strong, resilient GAG layer prevents bacteria from adhering to the urothelial cells. Mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS) - created from purified yeast cell walls, MOS is commonly used as a prebiotic to support intestinal microflora. Dogs are examined in a free consultation at Animal Trust where the vet will carry out a physical examination to detect a fever, painful or enlarged bladder or kidneys. Following this, urinalysis is carried out by testing a fresh urine sample for acidity, blood, infection, sugar, concentration and crystals. A urine culture test may also be carried out if bacteria are found in the sample or when an animal experiences recurrent/on-going cystitis. The EU-registered strain Enterococcus faecium (DSM 10663/ NCIMB 10415) 4b1707 acts to reduce pathogenic bacteria within the gastrointestinal tract and the faeces thereby limiting bacterial colonisation of the perineum. Regularly providing fresh drinking water is essential for all causes. It helps to flush away any bacteria and dilute the urine.
