Both of my cats had bladder infections. During the time of illness, I used the Berry Balance every day. Now I only give it to them every other day to keep the infections away. I just put the recommended dosage in their wet food and they eat it up!!

My dog suffered a severe case of struvite bladder stones and had emergency surgery last summer. Her urine ph was high and she had frequent bladder infections. I put her on Solid Gold's Berry Balance and mix it in her food once a day. Since then her urine tests have been in the "normal" ph range and she has had no recurrent bladder infections. I plan to keep her on this longterm. It also contains Vitamin C which is recommended to keep urine ph levels in check. I did not want to put her on expensive medications that don't work (I have had experience with them in the past) and wanted to avoid using HSD Prescription dog food. I believe that natural products are healthier for pets in the long run and they should be tried first. I think my Vet is becoming more open minded since so many people are having success with these kinds of products. I commend the companies that research and make products that are safe, healthy, and work for our beloved pets! Quality products may cost a bit more up front but over time they can prevent expensive vet bills. It is definitely worth the cost!

My dog had microscopic in her urine for a few months, ultrasound was neg for kidney/bladder stones and urine culture was neg. I have been using this product for a few months and changed her dog food. Last week her urine was neg for blood.

Wow! I am so glad that I found this little product. I have been about to pull my hair out with my female cat's bladder problems. I saw an improvement in her on the second day of treatment. No more "spots" in the bathtub or by the backdoor or in my laudry basket(thats the real test, turn the laudry basket up right to see if she hops in) She passed the test, so I know she is better. This product is well worth trying if you have the problems with crystals like my Millie has......I thought I was going to go crazy trying to find something to help her...Now I have found it.....

I have a GSD that has been suffering from Struvite Crystals and high pH for last couple of months. The Vet had her on antibiotics and methiform tablets, the tablets helped but she still had a high pH and still had some crystals. So, after about 2 1/2 months of this and not seeing a difference to the extent that the problem was gone. I decided to take it into my own hands and try something different. I had seen this stuff before and thought that I would give it a shot since Solid Gold is the brand of food I feed as well. What a difference, I had her urine tested yesterday morning and after being on it for 3 weeks, just as the directions say twice a day her pH is 6 and she was crystal free!! The Vet couldn't believe it!! I feel much better giving my girl this product than pumping her veins full of medicine that isn't even eliminating the problem. I highly recommend Solid Gold products.

No side effects and seems to be working on our older dog who has cronic bladder infections and those crystals- after one week it seems to have flushed her system out and she is doing good.

My three year old male cat suddenly suffered from FUTD, Urinary Tract Disease,a month and a half ago. The vet tried twice to cure the problem, the last time they catherized him. I brought him home and in less than a week he started to relapse. This is when I ordered the Berry Balance. Since he has been taking the Berry Balance he is back to his energetic self in the last week. It took about three weeks after I started the Berry Balance for him to fully recover. I think I would sooner look for a natural cure before heading off to the vet again. This product has my vote!!!

Sydnee, my 5 y/o pug, had recurring bladder infections for > 1 year, she even had bladder surgery to remove struvite stones. I found Berry Balance and said "why not". She has been on it now for >1 year and no more bladder infections. Her vet has been amazed at her lack of infections and has researched the use of the ingredients in Berry Balance. I'll continue to use this product as long as it is available. Sydnee is very happy.

My Beagle has experienced crystallization in her urine at times. After beginning this product, her last urine check was negative for any crystals.

If your dog has urinary tract problems caused by Struvite crystals, this product is extremely effective in controlling them. You may need to expirament with the correct dosage for your dog. My dog gets 1/8th teaspoon daily.

The vet said my female cat had alot of crystals, she was having problems using the bathroom which was about to turn into stones. She takes berry Balance 3 days a week, I also give some herb drops on the other days of the week. She has no more problems in 2 years. No more vet bills!

My female cat had a very serious case of UTI a couple of months ago that I had to rush her to an emergency critical care veterinary hospital. It took her 4 days to get to a somewhat ok condition. I had to resort to looking at natural remedies on UTI maintenance and prevention. A hard lesson to learn. Now, it's part of their feeding schedule.

My cat had slight struvite crystal formation and a urine pH of 7.5 when we started using Berry Balance and changed him to a 95% meat diet with no grains. I need to get pH down closer to 6.5. After reading the other reviews, I was very optimistic. However after 6 weeks of using it exactly as directed, my cat's urine pH increased to 8.5 and he now has a moderate level of struvite crystals. Now he's at a higher risk for stone formation, etc. Gotta try something else and fast!

My 3 year old male cat, Maxie, had struvite crystals, high pH, and an on and off bladder infection for 9 months. After listening to the vet and giving him CD diet(which he hated)and antiobiotics I switched to raw food and Berry Balance. In 3 weeks his pH was 6.0. try this product and change the diet. It works!!!
from Lake Arrowhead, CA on 3/22/2007
I saw this product after my dog was diagnosed with the highest level of struvite crystals, and I wanted to give her something natural as opposed to the low quality, Presription Diet dog food that the vet wanted her to take. I gave her a high quality, high protein dog food, and started her on this product. My dog tested negative for struvite after taking Berry Balance for 1 month. I now have her on the 3 day a week maintenance. What a great product!!
from Hagerstown, MD on 2/23/2007
Actually, I did recommend this to a co-worker & she bought it before I did. We're both pro-active in keeping struvite stones from forming in our dogs. If this product keeps her pH on the acidic side (& wards off the urinary tract infections that cause her stones)then you've got me as a loyal customer for life!

I have used this product for several years on both young dogs and elderly dogs with urinary infections. I have recently used it for a spayed female with incontinence propblems and it has really worked well.
