Natural Dog Incontinence RemediesHerbal Dog Incontinence RemediesLong-term use of some tonic herbs that strengthen and support the function of the bladder's smooth mucles can be effective in treating incontinence in dogs. Some such tonic herbs include:
Corn Silk
This herb supports normal urine flow and strong bladder emptying action. Corn silk also contains mucilage, which produces a soothing effect on the lining of the urinary
tract.
Saw Palmetto
This herb is commonly used for its anti-inflammatory effects on mucous membranes. It also supports bladder control and muscle tone. In addition, it strengthens the
prostate and normalizes sex hormone levels.
Oatstraw
Oatstraw contains estrogenic compounds and can help stimulate hormonal production in the body.
Wild Yam
This herb has anti-inflammatory properties and may help resolve urinary tract issues. Also, similar to oatstraw, wild yam has also been found to have hormone-normalizing
effects.
Plaintain
Plaintain is widely used for various urinary ailments. It has anti-inflammatory effects on mucuous membranes.
Other tonic herbs
Other tonic herbs that are effective for incontinence include horsetail, uva ursi, marshmallow, yarrow, and rashberry leaf.

Homeopathic Dog Incontinence RemediesIf your veterinarian has ruled out the fact that your dog's incontinence is caused by other ailments, you may want to work with a holistic vet to try using homeopathic remedies to treat the "leaky problem". The most commonly used homeopathic remedies for incontinence are: Bryonia If your dog leaks urine when she is walking, this remedy is appropriate. Cantharis This remedy is effective for soothing irritation of the mucous membranes. It supports the urinary bladder and the urethra and is beneficial for dogs with frequent urges to urinate. Causticum This remedy is a good choice for incontinence due to old age and muscle weakness. Equisetum Equisetum (the herbal equivalent is Horsetail), which is a tissue healing astringent, is useful for dogs with a dull aching in the bladder. Ferrum Phosphoricum This remedy is especially well known for its effect on infections, especially in their early stages. Pulsatilla Your dog needs this remedy if she has a very weak urethral sphincter muscle (a sphincter is a circular muscle at the end of the urethra. It restricts urine flow.). Dogs with weak sphincter muscles spill urine easily, especially when they are excited, or when they are sleeping or resting. Kreosotum If you suspect that your dog's leaky problem is due to stress or emotional problems, try this remedy.
