Native Pet Cranberry Bladder Chews Kidney & Urinary Supplement for Dogs, 60 count

My dog loves these little chews, and they seem to help. Hard to know for sure since I also switched her diet to a prescription diet, but no more UTIs, no more crystals in her urine. And she thinks they are treats, wags her tail when I open the bag. These are affordable and have good ingredients compared to some other options. I'm happy with this product and will be reordering.

Lucy sniffed the Bladder Chews once, licked it once, and then she shewed twice and swallowed. No problems with her taking the chews at all. Lucy comes to me in the evening, for her meds, and gets her chew right before her meds. This gives me about twenty seconds to get her meds ready after she finishes her chew.

My dog had struvite crystals in his urine before I started giving him these and then retesting several weeks later he did not. Although I would hope the Bladder formula played a part in this I've since come to learn that it's difficult to know for sure insofar as struvite crystals are concerned, as there are varying factors involved with struvite crystal formation, his internal medicine doctor informed me. My dog does like them and they're not shoddily made, they actually look appetizing, and we're on our second bag and I'll definitely finish that out. But my one-star deduction is that they are just so friggin' expensive. Once you get them and see the size of the bag and how much you get and the size of the pieces and the limited number of ingredients as compared to other formulas (e.g., a majority of them include marshmallow root, so there must really be something to that herb for urinary problems, but this one doesn't), it just seems a bit overpriced. Also, I'm not sure how much he needs the probiotics in there vs. just the proper herbal supplements plus cranberry plus whatever ingredient they need to hold the pieces together. I don't recall seeing any others that had probiotics. I did a lot of research on this and the problem with most of the other products is not the active ingredients but the inactive ones, the binders and whatever else they use for whatever reason, and Bladder leaves all that junk out, which I do appreciate. But I think I'm gonna start looking for something else that's either a little less money or a similar price but has more product in the bag, but that is the most acceptable ingredient-wise.
