Hello there! I’m so sorry to hear that your French bulldog is dealing with recurrent UTIs—it can be quite uncomfortable for them. Dogs can develop urinary tract infections for several reasons. Common causes include bacterial infections, bladder stones, or underlying conditions such as diabetes or Cushing’s disease, which can affect their immune system and make them more susceptible to infections.
At home, make sure your pup has easy access to fresh water, as staying well-hydrated can help flush out the urinary tract. Encourage frequent bathroom breaks. A clean, dry genital area can also help prevent bacteria from entering the urinary tract.
Keep an eye out for warning signs like straining to urinate, blood in the urine, increased frequency or urgency of urination, a change in urine odor, lethargy, or a decrease in appetite. If you notice any of these signs, it's time for a more detailed evaluation.
If UTIs are becoming a frequent issue, it’s important to look into why they keep happening. Booking a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet can help start getting your pup some relief and find underlying causes, ensuring the right approach to their care. We're here to help you both every step of the way!

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
