Hello there! I'm so glad you reached out. It sounds like your pup is quite uncomfortable with those UTI symptoms. When there are no bacteria present in the urine, it could be something called "sterile cystitis," which means inflammation without infection. This can be caused by factors like stress, bladder stones, or even certain medications. In some cases, conditions like interstitial cystitis can also mimic UTI symptoms.
At home, make sure your furry friend is drinking plenty of water. You can encourage this by offering fresh water more frequently or even adding a bit of water to their food. Taking your dog on more frequent bathroom breaks can also help flush out any irritants in the bladder.
Keep an eye out for any concerning signs like blood in the urine, straining to urinate, or signs of pain and discomfort. If your dog isn't urinating at all or seems very distressed, those could be signs of a more serious issue that needs immediate attention.
I'm here to help you further, so I encourage you to book a video consult with Dial A Vet. We can discuss your dog's symptoms more thoroughly and find the best solution together. Take care!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
