Type A PACs have been shown to inhibit the ability of E.coli to attach to the urothelium, thereby preventing bacterial adherence, colonisation and infection The EU-registered strain Enterococcus faecium (DSM 10663/ NCIMB 10415) 4b1707 acts to reduce pathogenic bacteria within the gastrointestinal tract and the faeces thereby limiting bacterial colonisation of the perineum.

A Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), can make it uncomfortable for a dog to pass urine. The most common cause for straightforward cystitis in dogs is a bacterial infection. However, similar signs may be seen with urinary stones and crystals, bladder inflammation, incontinence due to excessive water consumption or a weak bladder, kidney disease, cancer, stress, spinal cord disease, prostate disease or an abnormality in the urinary tract from birth.

Composition: N-acetyl D-glucosamine, Mannan-oligosaccharide, Gelatin Capsule, Cranberry ( Vaccinium macrocarpon ), Magnesium stearate.

Antibiotics . Where a bacterial cause of cystitis has been diagnosed. Symptoms will usually improve after a couple of days of the dog having antibiotics. It’s important that the entire course of antibiotics is completed to help prevent the infection from returning or becoming resistant to antibiotics. N-acetyl D-glucosamine:N-acetyl D-glucosamine is a precursor to Chondroitin sulphate and Keratin sulphate which make up the Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) layer that lines and protects the sensitive bladder urothelium. A strong, resilient GAG layer prevents bacteria from adhering to the urothelial cells.Proanthocyanidins (PACS) which are naturally occurring powerful antioxidants extracted from the North American cranberry. Type A PACs have an anti-adhesion affect, this means they help to reduce the ability of certain bacteria to attach to the bladder lining. My dog suffered UTI badly for a number of years, one day one of the vets told me about this product CystoPro, I looked into it, bought it and we are now 6months free of UTI, I personally put it down to this amazing product. Control of any underlying disease. This may be long term medication for conditions such as Cushing’s disease and diabetes to reduce the likelihood of recurrence. Prostate disease may be controlled by chemical or surgical castration. Bladder tumours can be medicated to slow their rate of growth. Probiotics - (Enterococcus faecium) reduces pathogenic bacteria within the gastrointestinal tract thereby lessening the risk of ascending urinary tract infections of faecal origin. N-acetyl D-glucosamine - N-acetyl D-glucosamine is a precursor to Chondroitin sulphate and Keratin sulphate which make up the Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) layer that lines and protects the sensitive bladder urothelium. A strong, resilient GAG layer prevents bacteria from adhering to the urothelial cells

Please note that parcels weighing over 2kg may be sent via courier due to Royal Mail weight restrictions.Created from purified yeast cell walls, Mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS), binds to receptors on bacterial fimbriae which prevents attachment to epithelial cells. MOS is commonly used as a prebiotic to support intestinal microflora. Improvement in digestion– probiotics have been shown to increase the efficiency of digestion and therefore provide an improvement in digestion. CystoPro contains an active ingredient derived from cranberries. This active ingredient is a class of antioxidants called Proanthocyanidins (PACs) CystoPro also contains probiotics, prebiotics and N-acetyl D-glucosamine. Some breeds of dog are prone to certain types of bladder stones, including; Dalmations, Bichon Frise and Miniature Schnauzers.

N-acetyl D-glucosamine, Mannan-oligosaccharide, Gelatin Capsule, Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon), Magnesium stearate Viability– the micro-organisms within a probiotic product should remain viable during their storage. The probiotics should also be able to pass safely through the stomach so that they can colonise the gut. A good freeze-drying process will enable the product to be stored at room temperature throughout the duration of its shelf life. Microencapsulation will afford protection throughout the high acidity of the stomach. CystoPro contains an active ingredient derived from cranberries.

Often vets will prescribe an anti-inflammatory pain killer to help manage the pain. Sometimes stronger painkillers, by injection, are required. Allow your dog plenty of opportunities to go to the toilet regularly. Regular voiding of the bladder helps to prevent inflammation. Competition for nutrients– within the gut beneficial and pathogenic micro-organisms will be utilising the same types of nutrients. This results in a general competition between bacteria for these nutrients. When a probiotic is administered there is an overall reduction in nutrients available for pathogenic bacteria and consequently this minimises the levels of pathogenic micro-organisms.
