Let me tell you a quick story. My dog used to suffer from canine incontinence and I didn’t even realize it until way after it started to become a problem. I took my dog to the doctor to get checked out and it turned out that the cause of her incontinence was a bacterial infection. My vet prescribed antibiotics but the infection kept returning and so did the incontinence until I tried a homeopathic remedy.
I learned that often homeopathic remedies are more effective than conventional treatments because they help dogs achieve permanent recovery. Of course depending on the cause of canine urine incontinence, the treatment will be different but in every case homeopathic remedies are very helpful in supporting recovery and good health. Here are 5 possible causes of canine incontinence and the potential treatment options.
1. Canine incontinence is a common problem in older dogs. Older dogs cannot hold their urine in because they have loosened sphincters. There are medications that help to tighten loosened sphincters but they are not without their potential side effects. To take care of the problem safely and naturally, put your dog in a diaper or give him a homeopathic remedy.
2. Sometimes the cause of canine urine incontinence is a birth defect. Female huskies are commonly born with birth defects and they must be corrected with surgery in most cases. Sometimes puppies are born with an ectopic ureter that connects to their urethra instead of their bladder, causing them to constantly dribble urine. If your puppy has to get surgery a homeopathic remedy will help him or her achieve recovery, strengthen his immune system, and prevent infection.
3. Behavioral problems can also cause canine incontinence. If you notice your dog in inappropriate places, it could be due to being territorial. Try to keep your dog away from the windows where he can see passerby. Your dog due to excitement, fear, or submission to a person or other dog. A dog that has behavioral problems can urinate normally so needs to be trained in order to modify the behavioral problems that are causing the inappropriate.
4. A partial blockage of the urethra with a struvite crystal or bladder stone may be causing your dog’s incontinence. This can happen because the bladder gets so full due to the blockage and starts to push against it, causing urine to leak around the sides of the blockage. You can help your dog dissolve the bladder stones or crystals by giving him a homeopathic remedy.
5. A long-standing bladder infection can cause scarring and stretching of the bladder that leads to canine urine incontinence. Bladder infections will give your dog a strong urge to urinate and cause him to urinate frequently and in inappropriate places. Make sure to get your dog tested for a bladder infection if you notice urinary incontinence. You can give your dog a homeopathic remedy to both treat and prevent bladder infection. It is an all natural, side-effect free way to prevent and treat urinary problems by maintaining bladder health, urinary tract health, a healthy urine flow, and a strong immune system.
So there you have it. There are many causes that could be underlying your dog’s canine incontinence so it’s important to take him to the vet to get tested first and foremost. After the cause is pinpointed you’ll have to choose between conventional treatment and holistic treatment. Whatever you choose, remember that a homeopathic remedy will help your dog achieve permanent recovery and overall good health.

The Benefits of Homeopathy
You may have heard of “homeopathy” but you are not sure what it is. Simply put, it is a system of medicine that treats a condition with highly diluted natural substances that mimic the symptoms of the condition being treated. This concept seems paradoxical to most.
Homeopathy is a difficult concept to grasp. How do you cure someone of an illness by giving them a tiny concentration of something that can actually cause the disease? One would think that this would simply make the person even more sick.
But, according to proponents of the science, homeopathy not only works, but is much more effective than conventional medicine. They claim that conventional medicine only suppresses the immune system and prolongs the illness.
There are actually quite a few homeopathic products in your local pharmacy. The FDA requires that homeopathic products indicate what kind of product it is somewhere on the packaging. The easiest way to tell what kind of product you are buying is by examining the list of ingredients on the back or the on the side of the packaging.
With homeopathy, all of the ingredients are diluted, so each ingredient in such a product has the letter “X” after it. So, if one of the ingredients is “Zinc 20X”, that means the product contains Zinc that has been diluted 20 times. One of the most popular cold medicines on the market, “Zicam,” is actually a homeopathic remedy that consists of diluted zinc in the form of a nasal gel.
There are homeopathic remedies available for almost every condition. Cold, flu, allergy, even bedwetting; there is a homeopathic remedy available for almost every condition.
Homeopathy is universally recognized as being safe, as the ingredients used are natural substances diluted many times over. Because there is such a small concentration of the ingredients, many opponents of the science, including the drug companies that make conventional medicines and are afraid of the growing popularity of natural medicine, claim that any relief an ill person receives after using a natural product is the result of the placebo effect.
Since the FDA does not require most natural products to undergo clinical testing before being sold to the public, the detractors feel that it does not actually work. So, who is telling the truth? Does homeopathy really work or is it a bunch of nonsense?
In my opinion, it works. There have been several clinical trials done over the years to test the efficacy of homeopathic products. Liddell Laboratories makes a product called Vital HGH. Vital HGH is designed to treat the symptoms of aging and/or a rundown condition.
In a small clinical trial performed years ago, a group of test subjects who were deficient in human growth hormone, ranging in age from 45 years and up, were given the Vital HGH formulation. The results speak for themselves. During the five month clinical trial, the levels of HGH in the blood increased in every test subject, and more than doubled the average level of HGH.
Homeopathy does work. I speak from personal experience. I used such a remedy to deal with the allergy attacks I was having, and the medicine not only stopped the attacks faster than the Claritin I had been taking previously, but it also prevented subsequent allergy attacks.
So, why is there a controversy? Well, there is a public perception that homeopathy is the same thing as holistic healing or faith-based medicine. This is simply not accurate.
Homeopathy and natural medicine in general make big drug manufacturers worry that such products might be more effective for treating common illnesses as opposed to the more expensive prescription versions that make the pharmaceutical companies rich. Most natural products are incredibly cheap. A prescribed conventional medicine costs a lot more.
If the public began demanding natural remedies to treat their ailments, drug companies would have to make these kinds of products to stay in business, and then their profits would shrink. Imagine if Pfizer had to stop manufacturing Viagra, which they sell at $20-$30 per pill, and instead make a homeopathic product that would retail for only $20 for a one month supply.
This is why drug companies often spend significant amounts of money to debunk claims that homeopathy works, using a wide variety of misinformation tactics to instill a belief in the public that natural medicine is is not effective for treating common ailments.
I am not saying that you should discontinue the use of conventional medicines. But, next time you go to the pharmacy, take a look at some of the natural brands on the shelf and give them a try. For common ailments that are not life threatening, a homeopathic product is probably a cheaper and more effective alternative.
