Short summary<\/p>\n

This supplement helps with:<\/strong> recurring bladder infections, frequent urination in small amounts, discomfort when urinating, and a sensitive bladder in dogs and cats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

How does Bladder Support work for recurring bladder infections?<\/h2>\n

In a bacterial bladder infection, bacteria\u2014usually E. coli\u2014attach themselves to the bladder wall using tiny hairs (fimbriae). Bladder Support targets this adhesion and the protective layer of the bladder, making it harder for bacteria to get a grip. <\/p>\n

D-mannose is a sugar that the body hardly uses and excretes via the urine. In the bladder, E. coli bacteria bind to the D-mannose instead of the bladder wall and are flushed out with the urine. Cranberry extract with at least 30% PAC (proanthocyanidins) inhibits a second type of adhesion. To be fair: the evidence for D-mannose and cranberry comes mainly from human studies. In dogs, results with cranberry are mixed. <\/p>\n

The bladder wall is lined with a protective layer of glycosaminoglycans, the GAG layer. N-acetylglucosamine is a building block of that layer. A damaged GAG layer plays a role in bladder complaints without a bacterial cause, such as feline idiopathic cystitis, where stress plays a major role. The probiotic strains L. rhamnosus GR-1 and L. reuteri RC-14 have been specifically researched for the urogenital flora. <\/p>\n

Bladder Support is part of the NGD Vet Pro Line: one supplement per acute problem containing the complete basics, so you don’t have to combine multiple products yourself. For chronic complaints, the phased protocol is the foundation, starting with gut recovery. <\/p>\n
