WORKS!!! thank goodness
I have had my Samoyed for 10 1/2 years. She is diabetic, insuline dependent, blind and has recently become incontinent. My vet prescribed Proin at a VERY high price. :/ I was told to call PetMeds. What a great group of CARING people helping with our pets. The medicine TOTALLY works. Aphro doesn't love the taste so much but she takes them just fine.
I am so happy that this is working so well.....
THANK YOU 1800 Pet Meds!

FANTASTIC - WORKED!!
I did a little internet research, and decided to try this when our Border Collie (age 14) began to have incontinence when sleeping. When awake, she was OK, used the doggy door, no problem. About 3 days after starting her on the 25 mg. dose (once daily with her food), the incontinence STOPPED completely. I'm amazed and thankful!! No more bed washing, and carpet cleaning every day, and the odor is gone from the house - OUTSTANDING. And working with 1-800 is ALWAYS a pleasure. Their customer service is FANTASTIC and FAST. THANKS!!

Great Solution
My Ruby is a large Great Pyrenees/Airedale mix (94 lbs.). She is two years old and began "wetting her bed" after she was spayed. The Proin has totally eliminated that problem. We are very happy with this solution.

Great Meds!
My dog has been on Proin since he was 9 months old, he is now 4 years old. He was diagnosed with a loose sphincter muscle, which is why the urine would leak out. My two comments are....the sure fire way we have given him Proin for the past several years is whole in PUMPKIN PUREE on a fork! He will not take it on a spoon or with applesauce, yogurt, cheese, etc. This is great because it is healthy for him anyways. And my other comment is, there are times maybe once or twice a year when we have to bump his medicine up for a week or two because it seems to ware off for him. So, instead of doing a 1/2 tab in the morning and a whole tab at night- we will do a whole tab two times a day. This has seemed to work well for us.

PROIN product review:
PROIN product review: One of the most common problems seen in spayed or neutered pets, especially as they get older is the development of urine incontinence, where pets will sometimes leak urine involuntarily while laying, sleeping and even walking sometimes. In my 17 years of medical practice, our profession has looked into many drugs to help treat this frustrating yet common condition. While some of these alternative drugs have helped, they are sometimes very expensive, while in other cases side effects can occur. So most conventional veterinarians will usually reach first for one of two drugs to treat this frustrating problem. Either low dose estrogen/hormonal therapy, or more commonly a prescription drug like proin. The main ingredient(called phenylproponolamine) helps tighten the smooth muscle tone around the urethra thus helping to minimize this frustrating involuntary leaking of urine from the bladder. While it is commonly prescribed twice daily by many veterinarians, I have found it to be as equally effective when given once daily at a dose of 3/4 mg per per pound. I even saw a journal article touting this once day use at this dose over the more common twice daily use. Many clients will notice immediate relief, while others can take several days to a week or two. However I am often able to taper this drug down to every other day or even a once or twice weekly on rare cases, while others need it daily to control the urine leaking. It is very important, however for animal guardians to have a urinary tract infection ruled out first, before starting a drug like this, as well as rule out a genetic anatomic problem of the bladder or urinary tract, if the patient is a young puppy under one year of age, as well as masses/tumors in older animals. If a thorough workup fails to detect an underlying cause of the leaking then certainly ask your vet about possibly writing a prescription for this often effective medication. The only rare side effects I have seen are digestive upset and vomiting in some animals, as well as in some pets a more rapid heart rate, due to the main ingredient in this medicine called phenylproponolamine. In fact, in human medicine, this drug was taken off the market because of worries and risks of cardiovascular issues in human patients. I have not seen this to be a major factor in veterinary medicine, but if you have an older pet with either a heart murmur or heart ailment , or some other illness that might be associated with high blood pressure like kidney disease or Cushings disease, then it is probably best to have your vet monitor the blood pressure both before and if he/she decides to start this medication. And while it does come in a chewable tablet that most dogs will accept, I have found palatability to be a problem in some dogs in taking it, even with clever disguising in treats. My overall rating of this product is a 4, its efficacy a 4.5, and its ease of use/taste a 3. ,

I live in Mexico 8 mos of the year and my dogs are down there. My dog Lucy is a 55 lbs golden retriever that has been on proin for 6 months.
Is a prescription from my Veterinarian in Mexico acceptable? Answers
i gave my 11 month old puppy,40 lbs, her first dosage of 50 mg proin. 3 hours later she threw up and has now throw up 6 times. It has a terrible odor, like sulphur. Is this one of the side effects?
AnswersAnswer:Â Hi Liz,Meka has never experienced an upset stomach or vomiting w/Proin. However, I crush the tablet(s) and mix it into Meka's food. She's been able to tolerate the meds that way. Maybe decrease the dosage a little so you can let your pup's stomach rest and try mixiing it w/food and then gradually increase it back to its normal dosage. See if that works. Good luck.
She is leaking slightly but it is all over my white carpet. I wipe her daily but my carpet (and back) are suffering.
AnswersAnswer:Â I would. It is such an amazing medication. Save your back ( and your carpet!).
Answer:Â Proin is not recommended for cats. You will need to consult with your veterinarian about this. There may be some underlying problem that only your veterinarian is able to identify and if needed , can prescribe the proper medication to treat the problem. Thanks for your question.Answers
