We were at a loss as our dog was suddenly peeing throughout our house in the middle of the night. From what I was reading it was more than likely a UTI.
Came on here (first time) and saw this product. Did as directions say, 1.5 scoops twice a day (for the first couple weeks) and noticed an improvement right away.
She peed in the house once the day we started this medication, but has not had an accident since (knock on wood). This is truely a nice product.
I would recommend this to anyone that may have a similar issue to what I briefly described.
We ended up taking Shadow to our vet for her UTI. She put Shadow on pain medication and our cat is back to normal. Since I've already purchased Cranberry Relief and others seem to feel it works, I'm considering giving it another try but at a much lesser quantity, maybe a quarter scoop. If I do, I'll post another update.
Shadow had a bad urinary infection a couple of years ago and we were slow to recognize the problem. After multiple vet visits, lots of shots and meds, and as a result lots of money, she was finally back to normal. We very slowly started to change her over to urinary food. Six months later when we saw signs of another UTI we caught early - 2 shots and Cosequin had her back to normal in 24 hours.
Diet and Cosequin have kept her UTI free for a couple of years. She loves the gravy in canned food so I've been adding water to boost her water intake. We recently started seeing possible signs of another UTI so I decided to try Cranberry Relief.
She normally will eat anything if I mix it in with her canned food. I added 1 scoop of Cranberry Relief to her food. She didn't like the taste and smell so it became a battle of wills. Shadow does not miss meals and is 17 pounds. She also gets dry food and needs to lose a few pounds. So I put the food down and left the room. She eventually ate it. I had to walk away each time so she knew that was her only option. After the 3rd time in a week she got sick to her stomach after eating, I decided to give up. That is extremely unusual for her and she hasn't gotten sick in the 3 days since.
I don't feel I can evaluate it's effectiveness. Shadow only took it for 1 week and kept down 12 of 15 doses, According to the product info, she should have been given 2 scoops but I was having a difficult enough time getting her to eat 1. She is doing better than she was but has not returned to what is normal for her. Can't say for sure if Cranberry Relief was the reason.
Guess it just depends on your cat and it's preferences. Shadow loves tuna and salmon. The urinary food is chicken. Maybe if I had mixed Cranberry Relief with Tuna or Salmon she might have eaten it but I didn't want to take her off of the urinary formula because it has been working.
I noticed small amounts of blood in the bathtub, laundry room and on the tile kitchen and that my cat seemed to have to unrinate frequently. I researched the problem and found thCranberry Relief to be rated high. After only 1 week my cat is doing great and having no problems. I recommended this product very highly!!! I have already told all my friends that do have cats about Cranberry Relief.
We have a 70lb lab we just gave Cranberry Relief to yesterday for his UTI. We found after the fact he had vomited a few times around the house. We suspect it is from the new product in his system. I don't see this as a side effect, but wondered if anyone else has had this problem and what to do? We already have a vet appointment for him Tues (today is Thurs), but wonder if we need to take him sooner.
Unfortunately, the only way to know if Cranberry Relief is causing the vomiting is to give another dose. While this product should not cause vomiting, it is possible that your dog has a sensitivity to the product.
i have a 12 year old 100 pound mixed breed dog and about 3 months ago he began drinking a lot of water and of course urinating very often. ive also noticed there has been times he has a loss of appetite. he is also starting to have joint pain in his hips. getting slower getting up and occasionally problems with steps. any help would be greatly appreciated since hes like a son to me.
