Can you give a dog human cranberry supplements? If so, what dosage?
I read online that you can give dogs cranberry supplements to help with urinary tract infections and bladder stones. My dog is on prescription diet food because she had struvite crystals in her urine 6 months ago. I would like to switch her food to a healthier option like Blue or Wellness, but it was suggested that I use some sort of cranberry powder or pills to help with the acidity of her urine.
Does anyone know if you can use a version of human cranberry supplements for dogs? The solid gold dog powder is expensive and I am not sure it will even help.
I would ask my vet, but he is very old school and sticks to the informaiton he knows rather than venturing into the holistic areas of medicine.
Sorry, I forgot to mention she only weighs 13lbs.
There would be no problem using the human version of cranberry supplement with your dog. You would likely get the same effect without paying so much for the product.

I used to give cranberry juice to my cat for years when she had internal injuries caused by a car accident when she was only a 3 weeks old stray kitten. She had bladder problems, had stones & would urine out blood frequently. The cranberry juice alone stopped the bleeding & kept her alive. She’s 7 years old now but sadly, she has just been diagnosed with renal failure & won’t last very long. But 7 years is pretty long for a really banged up cat.
Anyway, it’s best to get real 100% pure cranberry juice(no sugar added) instead of those tablet types because anything liquid goes into the bloodstream 90% better than any pills/capsules/tablets. But it’s up to you. You’ll need to ask your Vet about how much you should give to your dog per day but if your dog is a big dog, then give about two full tablespoons 2x per day but if she is a small dog, then give about 1 tablespoon 2x per day.
It won’t help to improve your dog’s urinary tract problem or stones but will just help to maintain a healthy bladder. Also be sure to stay away from any low quality dog foods because some of them are salty & it’s no good to feed your dog who already has stones to eat salty food. Best to feed those brands you mentioned & home-cooked food as well.
ADD: I’d still go for real cranberry juice which you can get from organic stores or supermarkets but make sure it’s pure 100% juice(no sugar added!) because like I said, anything liquid works better. Guaranteed! You just need to squirt it down your dog’s throat with a syringe or if your dog doesn’t mind drinking it, you could always add it onto her food. And for a 13 pounds dog, just give one full table spoon of it 2x per day.
AND do go get Vetri-DMG liquid for dogs & cats. It has literally saved one cat’s life before when it was terribly ill. I give it to my cat everyday & it’s helping to keep her active & alive. Vetri-DMG helps to support everything in the animal’s immune system. It is very expenssive but it’s like a magical supplement. Hopefully your country sells it. If not, order it online.

Most solid human pills would take too long to digest. A dog’s digestive system is much shorter than ours, so the digestive enzymes wouldn’t make a big impact and pill would pass through too quickly to be of much (if any) help. If you buy a tablet pill (whether it’s made for humans or dogs), test it to make sure it’ll be digested quickly enough by putting it in some warm water. If it isn’t dissolved in fifteen or twenty minutes, don’t use it, because it won’t break down quickly enough in the dog’s stomach. (It doesn’t have to be fully disintegrated, but it needs to have begun to be, you know?)
As far as juice goes, most cranberry juices are watered down and filled with sugar. While you might have luck, you’ll probably have a rather hard time getting your dog to drink 100%, straight-up, no-water-or-sugar-added cranberry juice. It’s *bitter!* Plus, you’d have to drink a lot; cranberry supplements in pill or powder form are super concentrated.
Anyway, yes, assuming that you’re using an appropriate tablet, you can indeed use human cranberry supplements. Last I knew, one good brand (meaning, digestible for dogs) was Finest Natural, you should be able to pick some up right at Wal-Mart or Walgreens. I *think* Nature Made also works.
But, you know, there are other brands of cranberry supplements in powder form for dogs, such as NaturVet. That may be cheaper.
But you do need to be careful with how much you’re giving her. You don’t want her urine to be too acidic, or that’ll just cause other problems, such as oxalyte crystals. You should test the pH balance of her urine fairly often. Here’s an example test:
http://www.thepetcheckup.com/works/index .html
By checking her urine, you can make sure you’re giving her just the right amount for a neutral pH balance, because how much of the supplement she’ll need may be hard to predict. There’s no real, set dosage! I know someone who gives 500 mg to a 160 pound dog (approx., I can’t quite remember!) every day and that’s perfect, and someone who gives 1600 mg to a 190 pound dog and that’s perfect. It depend on the dog, I guess. Just start low for awhile, and gradually build up the dosage if you have to.
