New York, United States - October 21, 2023 /PressCable/ —

The new guide draws on the latest veterinary advice for spotting early signs of the potentially life-threatening condition in dogs. As with many medical conditions, the guide stresses that prevention is the best way to keep man’s four-legged friends healthy.

It is estimated that 27% of dogs in the US suffer from UTIs. The exact figure is difficult to establish, as detecting the condition in pets can be difficult, explains DogInsider.com. Their recently published guide on recognizing and treating UTIs lists several common indicators that dog owners should be on the lookout for. These include frequent genital licking, cloudy urine or blood in the dog’s urine, decreased appetite, and increased drinking or urination.

“Our pets cannot tell us when they are sick, so the onus is on dog owners to really know their pup’s habits so that they notice any changes early on,” said a spokesperson for DogInsider.com. “If a dog displays any of the indicators on our list, we would encourage their owner to contact a vet immediately to avoid a more serious health problem developing.”

UTIs cause irritation of the genital area and can make it painful for a pet to pass urine. They are potentially dangerous if left untreated and can lead to long-term health complications in dogs such as kidney damage, bladder stones, fever, and dehydration.

Whilst most UTIs can be treated with a course of antibiotics prescribed by a veterinarian, DogInsider.com’s guide also suggests ways to prevent recurring UTIs or getting a bladder infection in the first place. Offering dogs ample fresh, clean drinking water and feeding them a balanced diet will help keep them hydrated and allow their immune system to fight off any bacteria which could cause infections.

DogInsider.com’s guide concludes by cautioning owners of multiple pets that UTIs can be passed between dogs. Therefore, extra precautions - such as frequently changing water and blankets - should be taken to prevent transmission or re-infection.

Why do some celebrity perfumes – think Ariana Grande, Britney Spears – stay popular?

There is a particular kind of deja vu that comes from a stranger’s perfume, when a scent – sugary-sweet in a lift, soft and creamy on a person’s jumper, flowery from a hug – drifts past and you know it long before you can name it. Chances are, a few of them come with a celebrity’s name. Famous names have long sold perfumes, intentionally or not. When Marilyn Monroe said in 1952 that Chanel No 5 was all she wore to bed, she did more for that bottle than any advertisement could, despite never...
