Cranberry extract can help prevent plaque build-up on your dog or cat's teeth.
This is important because dental plaque is a significant cause of tooth decay. Dental plaque
is the accumulation of a bio-film made of bacteria that grows on the surface of their teeth.

Like humans, dogs and cats are prone to infections in their
kidneys, bladder and urinary tract. This common ailment
is mostly attributed to poor diet, females and even
specific breeds. To prevent infections, cranberries
can be helpful in maintaining a healthy urinary tract
which in turn is beneficial to their kidneys and
bladder. Using cranberries on a regular
basis can prevent the bacteria that
causes infections in these areas.
Prevention is key because if your dog
or cat gets it once, then they are
more likely to get an infection again.
So, if your dog or cat shows signs
of pain while urinating, frequent
urinating, foul smelling urine or
even worse blood in their urine,
then cranberries are a good remedy.
