VetriScience Bladder Health Soft Chews for Dogs Bladder Control Supplement & Urinary Support - Incontinence Support Formula with Soy Protein & Red Clover, Chicken Flavor, 60 Count

EDIT #2 as of 2/1/26 After YEARS of use - my girl is still doing incredibly well on two VetriScience bladder supplements (plus her incontinence meds). In case yall don’t want to read my whole review - her prescriptions were helping but not enough and after much trial and error - I found the winning combo by adding two VetriScience bladder supplements. Another change from when I originally wrote this review - my girl no longer uses DES scrip because it just didn’t work enough for the money it costs. She was changed over to Incurin twice weekly (along with Proin and these supplements) and she hasn’t had any leakage or accidents in a long long time. She is 13.5 years old, 55lbs, and has had early spay incontinence issues since she was a puppy. It absolutely amazes me that a few meds and a few supplements have basically eradicated her lifelong problem. I actually have a few backups of this supplement as well as VetriScience Bladder Strength because I don’t want her running out during those odd times the products aren’t available anywhere. I follow the exact recommended dosage - no need to go over by a half, anymore. I keep her hydrated during the day (not dangerous levels - I just make sure she has 3oz every hour ish by crumbling a treat in that amount of water). I soak her kibble in hot water half hour before eating - helps digestion and adds hydration. Thoroughly hydrated - I cut off water 2 hours before bed. I take her to pee the very last thing before bed. No accidents or issues. I learned in the past - if she’s dehydrated, her bladder gets irritated and she’d dribble. So I approach this from every angle. These supplements have been game changers!!!! I’m not affiliated with VetriScience or the seller. EDIT #1: It’s just been reaffirmed how much these VetriScience products help! Everywhere had sold out of VetriScience Bladder Strength so my girl hadn’t been taking it for about 4 days. Well - there’s been an increase in the leaking into her diapers at night. She still has her meds and the other supplement - so it’s not like a full on pee - but I’d say there’s about an ounce in there each morning (much better than fully emptying her bladder but very different from the one or two drops/no drops she was having with BOTH supplements + meds). THESE PRODUCTS ARE LEGIT! So glad I came here again to see if it was in stock yet - just ordered another bottle! ORIGINAL REVIEW: BUY THIS RIGHT NOW! You’re here reading reviews because your dog is having incontinence issues - BUY THIS! Okay. My 10.5 year old female dog has dealt with spay incontinence since she was a puppy. It was my fault - I trusted the local animal foundation who urged me to get her spayed when I had her litter mate brother neutered - they were very young. Anyways, my girl’s spay incontinence wasn’t intense - it had been very well controlled with Proin her entire life - until this year. It seemed as if the Proin completely stopped working. She was pretty much dripping a little bit all the time, was completely evacuating her bladder overnight about 2 times weekly and her whole personality changed. She went from a confident fun loving dog to an anxious, tentative, shy dog that would hide behind the couch or under the table etc. She was totally ashamed - as any house broken animal would be when they were constantly having accidents. She had a few thorough exams by her vet - NOTHING was wrong with her health - it was just age exacerbating a lifelong problem. She was taken off Proin for 2 weeks to break her tolerance to it and when reintroduced, that reduced the leaking but didn’t make enough of a dent. Her vet added DES (hormonal treatment) to increase bladder control and it did but only for about two days - which wasn’t terribly helpful because she can only have it once a week. $1000 injections to her bladder weren’t possible so I started looking at supplements. A very VERY popular supplement failed her - it actually made the leaking and full on accidents much worse. I kept reading reviews that said to stick with it and I did and I regret that because it made my dog more miserable. I moved on to another supplement - it changed nothing. Another supplement - nothing. Another supplement - yeah again, nothing. I finally found a supplement made by VetriScience (Bladder Strength) and it did help, some. As I went to reorder it, this was recommended to me by Amazon - VetriScience Vetri Bladder - since I liked their other product, I added this one, too. While not a total solution, it has made a world of difference!!!! My dog wears washable cloth dog diapers to bed which I line with women’s sanitary pads (it’s easier to change the pads than to wash the diaper AND the blankets if she has an accident). So with the white pads - I can see if there’s a leak - it’s pee - there is yellowing. Ever since VetriScience Vetri Bladder - IF my dog even leaks at night, it’s literally just a few drops on the pads. Enough that I need to change the pad because I won’t have her sleeping with even one drop of pee - but it’s nothing like what had been happening prior to using this supplement! It’s been months now and it still really works well. I DO increase the two VetriScience supplements by a half supplement twice daily; slightly more than what her weight calls for, towards the end of the week as her DES med becomes useless and she’s nearing needing her next dose. That adds up to one extra supplement daily, for a few days each week. Once she gets her DES dose again, we go back to one chew with breakfast and one chew with dinner until end of week when it’s worn off again. I don’t know if this matters but I give her the supplements and her Proin about 1/2 hour before she eats - to make sure food doesn’t interfere with absorption and she’s always covered (DES must be taken with food). Trust me - having spent thousands on this issue (vet visits, several brands of diapers till I found the right one, all the failed supplements, the pads and laundry detergent and bleach) - I’m just incredibly thankful to have found this! Plus - our Vet loves that these don’t have cranberry in them because she’s seen cranberry cause too many problems in dogs with incontinence issues. I learned that a fee years ago. Gave my girl a doggy cranberry supplement just to keep her bladder healthy and it made her leaky. The leakage stopped when that supplement was thrown away. So VetriScience Bladder strength + VetriScience Vetri Bladder + her meds = my girl has regained her confidence and is happy again. I included all the details in case this might be the right path for someone else to take. I don’t have to wash the dog blanket every single day (the dogs sleep on top of my bed) - just the normal twice weekly washing cuz dogs smell lol. I have a layer of x-large puppy training pads beneath the dog blanket on their side of the bed (my side is blocked off with boxes to keep them off when I’m not in there) because I’m always ready for an accident and don’t want my mattress ruined. Well - I used to have to change those pads everyday, too. Now with her diapers catching just those few drops when they happen - and NO full evacuating of her bladder - I only have to change those pads out every few weeks because of my dust allergy - not because of pee. I told you my dog is happier - I am too! It’s really hard to keep up with a leaky dog - I’m so glad I found products that really work. I LOVE VetriScience! Also, the company itself - is absolutely amazing. I called with a question and they got back to me - Leah is a hugely helpful asset, there. They really believe in what they do and I have benefitted from their products! Since this is a raving review - I’ll say I’m not affiliated with VetriScience or the seller here on Amazon and I have not been rewarded in any way for this review. I just want to spread the word to everyone going through what I’ve gone thru with my dog.

I would give this product 10 stars if it was an option. I'm a veterinary technician, and my 14 year old Belgian Malinois has been on this product for 6 months. She started experiencing urinary incontinence 3 years ago and was prescribed DES (a synthetic estrogen medication). We had to keep her on the higher dosage range of the medication in order to keep her from leaking urine on her bed. Even then there was still the occasional wet spot and persistent skin irritation and licking behavior, likely due to minor urine leakage. About 6 months ago she started experiencing bilateral hair loss as a side effect of the estrogen medication. Before switching her to Proin, I decided to give this product a try. Within days of starting it she experienced 100% resolution of the leaking. Her hair grew back beautifully, she's no longer licking, and the skin irritation has resolved. I love that she doesn't need prescription medication that requires routine bloodwork or blood pressures to monitor for potentially serious side effects. It's also a fraction of the cost!

Our dog is a young, female Brittany (spaniel). We had her spayed young, about 8mo. per the recommendation of our vet. Unfortunately - about a month after spaying, we started to notice wet spots on her bed. At first, they weren't big - maybe a quarter or so in size. I thought she might be drooling - but she's not a drooler, and they weren't exactly in the right place to line up with drool. So, more google investigation revealed that spaniels in particular have a problem with spay incontinence. The frequency over the next couple months was erratic, sometimes it would be after a particularly exciting day or trip to the dog park - other times it would happen for no apparent reason. It didn't happen every day, but it happened enough to be annoying. One thing was for sure - the amount was increasing from quarter size to her whole backside being damp and her bed soaking through. I'm a very tidy person; I couldn't imagine giving up my pup - so I decided something had to be done. This product - along with a few home-'fixes' has worked wonderfully for us. My decision to go with this product was based largely on the positive reviews, and my own research of other products. When I first got it, I started with the dosage recommended. My dog is 32 lbs, just over the weight limit recommended for one pill a day. The first few weeks we had this product, we gave her a pill every night with dinner religiously. No leaks. I then decided to scale back how much I was giving her - just to see what her particular dosage was. I went probably a month or more without giving her a single pill , and she did well. Then, all of a sudden, she started having accidents at night and during the day again - and they were the biggest of all. So back on the pills we have gone. We are now giving her 1/2 pill with breakfast and 1/2 with dinner and no accidents. As long as we are regularly giving her these supplements, we have not had a single accident. A few other things I'd like to note - and might be helpful to anyone trying to figure out what works and is the best for their dog. [My disclaimer] I haven't seen my vet about this problem yet - I was afraid that she would want to give me a prescription drug, and the drugs that are commonly prescribe have some bad side effects I didn't want to have to deal with. I wanted to try a more natural approach than pharmaceutical - and this has done just that. I did try just corn silk tablets. They say that is supposed to help with spay incontinence in some research I did. If you're tossed up between that and this supplement - (maybe because of cost considerations) I'd recommend this product. Partly because the corn silk did nothing for my dog - and now I have a bottle of it sitting around with no use for it. And as long as the price stays <20 then it's fairly competitive for other options on the market. It does smell! When you open the bottle you get this whiff of bad smell. I guess the dogs like it - because mine eats hers right like a treat. I will add the caveat that we only feed our dog dry dog food and dog treats (no human food) so she isn't a very discriminating eater either. Finally - if you're looking for a way to keep the doggy bed clean without having to shove it in the laundry after every accident - here's what worked for us while we were figuring what worked for our dog. [I still have this set up as a just-in-case method cause I hate washing the dog bed.] I took some very thick fabric - think the stuff you would make a canvas tote out of - and created an envelope bed cover for her doggy bed. On the top piece of the cover, I bought a personal waterproof mattress pad that was large enough to fit the top of the dog bed, and sandwiched it between two pieces of the thick fabric so that my dog didn't hear or feel the waterproof pad (she's not a fan of just sticking that on her bed under a towel). So if you can imagine the three pieces of an envelope cover the top piece (that you see) is fabric, pad, fabric, and the two bottom pieces are thick fabric. I put this cover on her bed, so when she leaks, the leak is kept from getting into the plush part of the bed (which takes forever to dry when you wash it) by the personal waterproof pad. When leaks do happen, all I have to do is take the bed cover off, toss the cover in the wash, and dry it (on low so you don't melt the waterproof pad) and put it back on the bed. Way easier than washing the whole bed! (Update) 2015-07 We have re ordered and the product is still working. We have adjusted to a half pill in the evening now with dinner which works. I've experimented with dosage and that seems to be about right for us. I can occasionally forget to give her a pill, and usually we have no accidents unless it was a particularly busy day. She still likes the taste. I did take it with me the next time I saw my vet, and my vet was surprised that it was working for me, but said that there were no dangerous ingredients and to keep giving it to her if it was doing the trick for us. I'm so glad the solution was so simple!

So I am sure this may not fit for all dogs, because each case is different, but it worked great for my dog. I have already reordered more. It has been a lifesaver for us. Here is our situation so hopefully this helps others in a similar situation: My dog is a 1.5 yr old Border Collie/Black Lab mix. She was fully house trained very young and really never ever had accidents in the house. She was spayed at about 4 months. She did have 'nervous' excited pee-pee once and a while, for example when new guests came to the house, but that was very predictable, a small amount and happened only once in a great while. Then suddenly one evening recently we found her laying in a puddle - where she always sleeps/relaxes in a corner of the kitchen on the cool floor. She was drenched and it was a huge puddle, not a few drops - really out of nowhere. From then on it was really bad - happening maybe 4 times a day. She had no idea what was happening and was clearly upset by it. It would always happen when she was laying down relaxing or sleeping - mostly in the evenings. I took her to the vet and they gave her antibiotics to clear up any UTI and see if that would fix the issue. She did the full course and no change. Next visit, the vet said that some adult spayed females develop spay incontinence as adult dogs - happening at age 1 or later and they lose control of their bladder because the spaying removes the estrogen source and the dog essentially has no hormones left that help with bladder control. He said there were 2 presciption choices - hormone replacement or Proin. Both choices come with risks so I wanted to check out other options first. Now it gets really interesting...I found this Bladder Strength product and read the good reviews and ordered some. While waiting for it to arrive, I was reading online and found an article where someone cured their dog's bladder problems with soy-based dog food. Then I remembered that the main ingredient in Bladder Strength is a soy extract. And ...women use soy supplements to help with post-menopause and post-hysterectomy symptoms...This all makes total sense with what my vet was telling me about the cause of her incontinence being from spaying! SOY was the key...Soy is a plant estrogen and it can work as a replacement for the missing estrogen in the body. So...armed with all this new knowledge I decide to go look at the ingredients in her current dog food - no soy products. Hmmm. And lo and behold I think back and realize about 4 weeks earlier I had SWITCHED HER FOOD. I looked up her old food ingredients online and voila - loaded with soy. So I inadvertently caused her sudden bladder problems by switching her from her mainstay to a new 'healthier' no filler food!! The soy in the food she had been eating her entire life up to then was soy filled - and was apparently acting as an estrogen replacement for her. I immediately quit giving her the new 'healthy' soy-free food and switched back to the old soy food. Within a few days, her puddles were greatly reduced - not gone - but a big improvement. After about a week back on the old dog food, the Bladder Strength arrived. Since she was not 'cured' completely and because she had always been a 'nervous' pee-pee dog, I decided to start her on the Bladder Strength as well. She is 60 lbs - so 2 pills per day - one on the AM and one in the PM. Within about a week, SHE WAS COMPLETELY CURED!! No puddles, no drips, back to her old happy self!!! And...the nervous pee-pee is also gone! It has been over a month now with no puddles! I think the soy is key, but also the other ingredients in Bladder Strength work together to really help get everything back in working order. She eats them right up like a treat - no problem! So, check your dog food ingredients and see if that might be part of the problem - a soy based food could help...and of course GET SOME BLADDER STRENGTH - it is such a great product.

This worked great on my spayed Doberman. She stopped piddling in her bed within a week. I was so happy with the win. Then, the bad. Her skin started flaking and she stank like yeast, horribly. I took her to the vet, and she was prescribed a medicated wash and an antibiotic. Still her skin was awful. She was already on a no chicken diet, fish oils supplement etc. So, I stopped giving her this med. Her skin cleared up within a few days. Unfortunately, she’s peeing on herself.l again. Sigh. Pick your battles I guess.

Wonderful product so far. It's been 5 days free of accidents. My pit mix is almost 3 years old. Started having accidents last year after I adopted her and she was also spayed at that time. Accidents only when she was laying down and relaxed. She's house broken so I knew there was something wrong. Took her to the vet and they did an urinalysis and ultrasound of her bladder. Clear of infection and crystals. Vet told me it's common for female spayed young dogs to have this problem because of the hormone drop. Recommended hormone replacement therapy but I refused due to potential cancer risks. The accidents were inconsistant and very tiny amounts. Two weeks after the vet visit, I come home and thank goodness, witnessed her urinate blood. Rushed her to the emergency clinic and yes, she had s terrible bladder infection. The vet said this is probably why she was having accidents. The tests don't always show positive if the infection isn't bad enough. Round of antibiotics and she's fine. No more accidents. Fast forward 7 months, accidents again. While she's relaxed or sleeping. I noticed her suddenly wake and lick herself and her behind would be wet. Poor thing. I didn't want to go through the whole, test negative wait for major infection then antibiotics route so I tried a cranberry supplement for dogs. Used it for a month with no improvement. Thought maybe it's not an infection this time? Came across this product and all the positive reviews and advise. Someone said she gave her dog soy milk so I did that while waiting for this to arrive. 3 days of soy milk and cranberry supplement with no change. This product came and I discontinued the cranberry supplement. It's been 5 days and no accidents. Fingers are crossed. I'm going to have her finish the rest of the soy milk and see if anything changes. My dog is 60lbs so she gets 1 pill twice a day. I don't understand why vets don't suggest these natural solutions instead of cancer producing drugs. I guess like human MDs, anything not taught in school doesn't work. Update: its been about 2 months of suggested dosage and my dog is having accidents again. So disappointed. Will try increasing dosage to see if the accidents will stop. Don't understand why the effectiveness is wearing off. Update: using this product religiously for a year and the incontinence is steadily increasing. Urine tests negative for bacteria and only happens when she’s sleeping or very relaxed. Really disappointed.

I have an 85lb 10 year old female mutt (pointerXhound) who was diagnosed with a weak urethral sphincter 6 years ago (spay incontinence). When she was extremely relaxed (sleeping) or very very content, or exhausted she would dribble. It didn’t matter if she was laying or sitting on the floor, her bed, the couch or your lap (yes my 85lb dog will make herself fit into your lap, she doesn’t know she’s a big girl). If she was too relaxed and had urine in her bladder it would dribble out. Sometimes just a few drops, sometimes puddles. She is a heavy drinker, so really, there isn’t any time she doesn’t have a little bit of piddle waiting to be released. Pup gets upset when she has an "accident" in the house (she'll run away from her own vomit) which made these constant dribbles very distressing to her. When she was first diagnosed she was prescribed Proin 50. The medication was fairly inexpensive and it didn’t take much to “dry” her up. We LOVED this stuff! Some days a half a tablet with breakfast and dinner was enough. We kept an eye out for side effect and saw none externally, however, after being on the medication regularly for 6 months she became hypertensive, a serious side effect of the medication. Unfortunately, we were unable to continue with the Proin so we switched to Incurin, another prescription medication for female urinary incontinence. Incurin was significantly more expensive and because it is a hormone can have hormonal side effects. Incurin requires a loading dose to reach full effectiveness. We started with 2 tablets a day and the results were hit or miss. There were days she was fine, but if she drank an excessive amount of water or was very tired (lots of play or a long walk) all bets were off. After a year and a half on the Incurin we were able to successfully wean it back slowly (a tablet a day, down to a tablet every 5 days) but results were still hit or miss. The dribbles were mostly under control except in extreme circumstances. Reading up on incontinence in female dogs and finding that it can be related to lack of hormones to stimulate the muscle tone this made sense. I already knew pup’s problem was weak muscle tone in her urethral sphincters. and her most recent prescription is a hormone. And then I stumbled across this product, VetriScience bladder Strength. With ingredients that support hormone production it was worth a try. We stopped the Incurin and started up on the VetriScience Bladder Strength approx. 30 days ago. She gets 1.5 tables with breakfast and 1.5 tablets with dinner. This stuff works as well as the Incurin. In fact, I am a little hesitant to say, I think it works better than in the Incurin. We have had very few dribbles in the last 30 days. Far fewer than the previous 30 days on prescription pharmaceuticals. The few times we’ve had dribbles have been directly tied to excessive water consumption. The down side, this stuff stinks. It smells like a bottle of liquid smoke. My pup, who is a garbage gut and will eat almost anything, will not eat these on their own so I venture to say they're not terribly palatable. However, if I break them in half and mix them in with her kibble & pumpkin they get gobbled down. I have also smeared them with a little peanut butter which seems to work to disguise the flavour/smell. They could also probably be crushed and mixed into food. We are extremely satisfied with this purchase and will be ordering another bottle shortly. We will continue to use this product because IT WORKS. 2 paws up!

Let me start by saying I typically am suspect of supplements as they are not subject to clinical trials and so their effectivness is diffucult to ascertain. However, after using this product and experiencing amazing results I felt compelled to write a review to help other dogs and their owners struggling with their dogs incontinence. Our dog is a 16 year old, neutered male Jack Russell. Over last six months we have watched the years catch up with him. For five months we struggled with chronic pancreatitis until we were able to find a diet that stabilized his condition. During that time Jack began to have frequent accidents in the house. In the beginning it was once to three times a week. By the time I purchased the Vetriscience Bladder Strength Supplement he was having up to three accidents a day and could no longer make it through the night. For several months I was getting up between two and four in the morning to put him out to go potty. The only good thing is that Jack would whine to wake me up and let me know he had to go out. During this same time period he would anxiously wander through the house pacing either looking for me or moving towards the door. During the last two weeks he started just urinating in the house without any warning. He would just stop and pee as if the urine was falling out of him. He also stopped signaling at night and each morning I would find a large puddle near his bed. It was as if the urge to urinate quickly came upon him and he did not have enough time to wake me up. I purchased the Bladder supplement as a last hope. My husband and I were begining to have conversations about his much longer we could continue with Jack's incontinence and if it was getting close to the time to say good bye to Jack. I did take him for a vet check twice during this period and both times he checked out great with good kidney function for his age and no infections. We had no other options other than doggy wraps for incontinence. I received the supplement on 1/31/18. The first day I gave him his supplement with his morning meal and thought he improved a bit. The next two days I gave him his supplement with his evening meal with no improvement in his incontinence. I wax disappointed and was hoping Jack would be one of the dogs who responded well based upon the previous reviews. A bit dejected I reread the reviews hoping to get some sense of how long it might take to see improvement. Most reviews indicated that the dogs, if they did respond favorably, did so quickly. I read one review where an owner noted that the supplement wore off about three hours before the next dose. With that information and because the supplements are larger, I decided to spit his daily dose in half giving him 1/4 tablet in the am and 1/4 in the pm. The results were DRAMATIC within 24 hours. It has been two weeks without an accident! Jack has been sleeping through the night ( as have I!) from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am. He restlessness during the day had also dissapated and he has returned to his previous personality. When he urinates outside he appears to have a steadier stream and looks as if he has more control. He excessive thirst at bedtime had also diminished. I would thoroughly encourage owners with dogs struggling with incontinence to try this supplement. It has tremendously improved Jack's quality of life. A bit about me, I am a professional dog trainer who specializes with behavioral problem dogs. I have over 30 years professional experience. I also own and operate four boarding and daycare facilities. I know dogs and dog behavior. Although the placebo effect is very real in humans it does not exist in dogs as they do not know why or what type of supplement they are taking. The only change we made in Jack's daily routine was the addition of the supplement so there are no other factors that could effect or influence we have observed in his improvement.

I had my dog on these bladder strength tablets for a few months and they did not work, but persevered and after a few months they actually worked and we do not have accidents anymore.

I bought these on premise that they were "bladder strengthening " as per the description. However it did the complete opposite for my dog, he was literally weeing non stop. He would get up middle of the night and wet the floor, the amount he was eliminating was excessive, which meant he had to drink more to regain hydration, it was a nightmare. As soon as I stopped the tablets, he went back to normal bladder control. I would be careful about using this product, maybe it worked for others but not my dog.

Very good product👌

My 6 year old mini poodle has suffered with recurrent incontince problems since "puppyhood". Batteries of vet tests, different diets etc have made no difference. I came across this supplement whilst researching the problem and looking for yet another treatment. I've never before bothered to review any products I've purchased via mail order or online, but in this case I'm so impressed I think the product is well worthy of positive feedback. I was sceptical, particularly in view of the price about whether the supplement would live up to its claims, but I can honestly say that they've transformed my little friend's life. They took about a week to start working but we haven't looked back, and I'm about to re-order.

Cumple su función durante el tiempo que dura el tratamiento, cuando deja de tomar las pastillas a los dos días vuelve a escaparsele el pipí, como pega los 10 euros que hacen pagar en aduanas al proceder de estados unidos
