Can CBD Help Dogs with UTIs? 

Has your dog been diagnosed with a urinary tract infection? If you’re searching to help alleviate or prevent this, Baked Goods’ own dog CBD oil (called Barked Goods) could be a handy tool.  

Urinary tract infections can be common in some dogs, especially females. Some symptoms may include frequent urination and/or bloody urine, persistently licking the genital parts, and straining from painful urination.  

Though research is limited, the lab studies conducted on dogs so far have shown CBD to have beneficial effects. “CBD appears to have good bioavailability and safety profile with few side effects at physiological doses. Some dog studies have found CBD to improve clinical signs associated with osteoarthritis, pruritus, and epilepsy,” confirms an article from the Annual Review of Animal Biosciences,

Regarding UTIs, cannabidiol could potentially help reduce both inflammation and discomfort from these infections. Due to its antibacterial properties, CBD could also help fight bacteria linked to UTIs and possibly help prevent future infections.

Prior to giving your dog any new type of treatment, including CBD, please consult with your vet. This is to rule out underlying conditions and discuss medication interactions your dog might have with CBD. Regular vet consultations should continue, as this can help avoid some canine health issues down the road. 

When added to your dog’s health regime, cannabidiol could add comfort to your pet’s living. Check out the video below and you’ll see what we mean!
