Veterinary Trial Confirms That Cranimals UTI Supplement Equivalent to Antibiotics

 An independent in vivo and in vitro veterinary study published in the American Journal of Veterinary Research [77(4), 2016], compared Cranimals Original UTI supplement to the antibiotic cephalexin. Based on both clinical signs and laboratory urinanalysis, none of the dogs receiving Cranimals Original developed a UTI. All dogs were expected to contract a UTI during the 6 month experimental period based on their medical histories.

Scanning Electron Microscopy showed that Cranimals Original significantly reduced the ability of E Coli to attach to canine kidney/uroepithelial cells, and this effect became more pronounced, the longer Cranimals Original was administered. There is general consensus that E Coli successfully infects the urinary tract of animals and humans by adhering to the uroepithelium, preventing it from being flushed out via urine flow, one of the bladders’ most important defenses

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are common in cats and dogs, and pet UTIs are typically treated with antibiotics. This easily leads to the overuse and misuse of these antibiotic drugs. Pathogens like E Coli are rapidly becoming resistant to many antibiotics used in veterinary and human medicine. The transfer of these antibiotic resistant strains of E coli between animals and humans is concerning. Bacterial resistance also leads to unresolved or recurrent urinary tract infections; infection related complications (struvite stones, urinary blockage, renal damage), and increased economic costs (repeated treatments). The widespread use of natural therapies such as Cranimals Original, to help reduce antibiotic use is crucial to ensure conventional drug therapies remain effective.

Cranimals Original has been used successfully by integrated veterinary care practitioners. This study adds further scientific validation for its use in conventional veterinary practice, and substantiates Cranimals as the leader in natural urinary tract remedies for dogs, puppies and cats.
