Dog Kidney Failure Symptoms – What to Do


Author: Laura Ramirez



Dog kidney failure symptoms can be difficult to recognize, as they can mimic those of other urinary tract problems.  But the best way to guard against this potentially fatal ailment is to be aware of your dog’s behavior and seek veterinary help at the first sign of anything unusual.  You can also help to prevent kidney issues by using natural products to promote good urinary tract health.  Anything you can do to avoid the occurrence of kidney failure is worth trying.


Kidney failure occurs when infection, blockage or damage prevents the kidneys from working to eliminate waste.  Dog kidney failure can be either acute or chronic.  Acute failure happens suddenly while chronic failure happens more slowly, over a lengthy period of time.  Both cases are extremely dangerous and can ultimately be fatal if not treated properly.  


The most common of dog kidney failure symptoms is the failure to urinate.  If your dog stops urinating, this is a serious indication of trouble and you should get it to the vet as quickly as possible.  Other symptoms of kidney failure can include nausea, vomiting, weakness, excess thirst and loss of appetite.  As the kidney failure progresses, changes in blood pressure can occur which can result in vision loss.


Chronic dog kidney failure is most common among smaller breeds such as the Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso and Cocker Spaniel, though it can also occur frequently in Doberman Pinchers, Shar Pei, and Poodles.  Vets aren’t sure why some breeds seem to be more susceptible, but it is suggested that owners of all breeds be on the look out for any symptoms of kidney failure.


Though dog kidney failure symptoms can be similar to those of urinary tract infection or blockage, dog owners should never assume the underlying cause.  It is imperative that your dog be carefully examined by the vet, as only the vet can make a positive diagnosis and suggest a proper course of treatment.  In most cases, treatment will consist of a course of antibiotics, though in cases where a toxin is the cause, more aggressive treatment may be necessary to flush the toxin out of the dog’s system.


There are many causes of dog kidney failure, including exposure to toxins such as those found in some common houseplants and household chemicals such as pesticides and antifreeze.  In other cases, kidney failure may be caused by another underlying disorder such as heart disease, kidney tumors or severe dehydration.

Whatever the cause, this problem can be avoided by using specially blended natural products which promote good overall urinary tract health.  These products, containing plant based ingredients such as Berberis, Cantharis and Staphysagris, work to strengthen the immune system, produce good urine flow, reduce pain caused by dog kidney failure symptoms and maintain the overall health of the kidneys and bladder.


Kidney failure is a serious threat to your dog’s health, so it is imperative that you do everything you can to help prevent it.   Start with the natural solution by choosing 100% organic products that will work to keep your dog fit and healthy.  And don’t overlook the signs of potential trouble.  You can keep your best friend feeling well by staying one step ahead of urinary tract problems.
