Water

• Encourage your dog to drink plenty of clean, fresh water. The more she drinks, the more diluted her urine will be. It helps flush bacteria from her system, too.
  
  

Vitamin C

• Vitamin C acidifies the urine and that keeps the bacteria from sticking to the bladder walls. Vitamin C also strengthens the immune system to help fight off infection. Sprinkle tablets on the dog's food.
  
  

Cranberry

• Cranberry juice has long been touted as an aid to urinary tract health, but very few dogs will drink it. Fortunately, cranberry is available in tablet form and it can be mixed into food.
  
  

Citrus

• Most dogs are not inclined to eat citrus, but some will. If your dog will accept it, offer orange or grapefruit sections. They are rich in vitamin C, antioxidents and fiber.
  
  

Pee Breaks

• Take your dog for more frequent walks. The more frequently she urinates, the better. UTIs can cause incontinence, so walks help prevent accidents, too.
  
  

Bathing

• Keep your dog clean, especially around her genitals. Bacteria can enter the urethra from the outside, so be sure to wash her regularly with a mild dog shampoo.
