Thanks Ladymom, I'll ask my vet about these items. I'm not sure if she just wanted him to have more fluids or if she was trying to see a benefit from the cranberry so I should ask about that. She did put him on metacam for bladder inflammation. We are still working on figuring all the pieces of the puzzle. This has been going on since I got him as a young pup and we've ruled out UTI. He seems to be straining less since the metacam and the juice and he's not in discomfort but it's not normal.

Studies indicate sixteen ounces of cranberry juice need to be consumed to obtain the same dosage as a single concentrated cranberry pill.

I prefer supplements specifically for dogs so I know the dosage is correct. Cranberry Relief is excellent.
