I had never heard of Herbsmith Bladder Care, I looked it up and it does contain cranberry which has been very helpful to me in stopping reoccurring infections. When I recommended cranberry to someone else, there were people here who said, “Don’t give it to your dog, it will cause stones.” Herbsmith contains other things as well, so perhaps the amount of cranberry is too small to be a problem. However, the problem with holistic medications is we don’t know the safety for them. They aren’t tested like regular medicine. Just because something is holistic it doesn’t mean it’s safe. Bladder infections are so horrible; I’d risk it, and just be on the lookout for other symptoms.
Interesting about fish being a cooling meat, I wonder if that means it would help with hot flashes?
