Really Works! GREAT PRODUCT! Definitely try this before resorting to a prescription! (AND CHECK YOUR DOG FOOD INGREDIENTS!)
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.
