Natural Support for Bladder Stones in Dogs and Cats
Sometimes it can be tough to know what is bothering your four-legged friend because no two pets are alike! But a health issue that affects many of our feline and canine friends are bladder stones and urinary tract crystals. Stones are often triggered by an infection, but may also develop from kidney or liver disease, high blood calcium levels, improper diet, or genetics. Bladder stones tend to be smooth while crystals tend to be smaller and more jagged. So to help the body dissolve and flush calculi, Tripsy and Milk Thistle work together to strengthen the liver, help relieve inflammation, and promote urinary tract health.
To find out if your pet has urinary tract issues, have your vet run some tests like radiographs, CT scans, or ultrasounds to further investigate their symptoms and, from there, recommend an appropriate care plan.
How NHV Supplements Ease Bladder Stones in Dogs and Cats
Urinary crystals and stones can cause a lot of discomfort and stress for your furry friends. Ingredients like parsley piert, stone root, and gravel root have been used for centuries to support urinary tract health by encouraging the natural elimination of stones and helping to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). The diuretic and antimicrobial properties in Tripsy gently increase urine flow to keep things moving and help stop the formation of stones in the first place. Along with Tripsy's healing properties, Milk Thistle adds antioxidant support to help strengthen liver detoxification, encourage cell regeneration and soothe inflammation.
