Cranberry capsule or juice for UTI?

[Jinee1]

Hi all. Eevee had another uranalysis done and her urine was clear of E. Coli, Struve crystals and white blood cells!!! Finally!! But her urine pH is still between 7-8. So Eevee will be on Hill's SD dissolution diet for another 4 weeks. :-(

The vet said one of her patients gets cranberry juice in the water bowl. She doesn't know how much though. The owner said the cranberry juice in the food is helping a lot with UTI and suggested I do the same. I happen to visit Costco today and I saw that they are selling 300mg cranberry capsule. Can I buy this and give this to Eevee instead of cranberry juice? I'm worried about her teeth. I know a few of you are giving their sheltie cranberry caps? What's the dosage of that? Thank you so much in advance.

Also, Eevee's breath is really stinky now since she's been on Hill's diet. I bought a breath freshener that you add to the water. Should I buy a brush n tooth paste to brush her teeth instead? Any recommendations on doggy tooth paste??

I am so happy to hear Evee is doing better. I hope you continue to see improvement.

My old boy that got Cranberry tablets did not like the gel pills so we got regular tablets- the generic form of Azo (I think that's the brand name). they were 450 mg. I still have some but they are probably expired by now.
