Prostate problems in pets
By far the most common condition involving the prostate in pets is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). As in humans, this is often found in older pets and is a widespread problem in male animals. The glandular tissue of the prostate increases in size with age and puts pressure on surrounding structures (e.g. the bladder) causing urinary and defecation problems. Although BPH is not an infection nor is it cancer, it can cause very troublesome symptoms and may worsen very gradually, with increasing age.
What are the symptoms of BPH in pets?
-
Pain or discomfort on urination
-
Frequent, strained attempts to urinate
-
Painful and strained defecation
-
Abnormal gait: you may notice your pet walking with very small steps and his rear legs straight and stiff
-
Discharge from the penis
Although the above are common symptoms of prostate problems in pets, it is important to consult a trained veterinarian for an accurate diagnosis.
What is the conventional treatment?
Conventional prevention and treatment of BPH in pets is neutering. Neutering of young dogs before the onset of puberty will prevent normal development and growth of the prostate, and therefore most cases of prostate hypertrophy in later life. If a pet is neutered after prostate maturation, the prostate gland will shrink due to lack of testosterone.
What are ProsPet Drops?
While neutering may assist with the control and prevention of prostate problems in pets, for many people this is not nature's way and owners may be loathe to take such a step for their pets.
ProsPet Drops are a 100% safe and natural combination of herbal and homeopathic ingredients for treating BPH in pets. This remedy will address all the major symptoms associated with enlarged prostate and, with regular use, will help to shrink the prostate gland.
Each ingredient of this natural remedy has a specific role to play in reducing swelling and normalizing the size of the prostate or treating the troublesome symptoms that go with prostate problems.
Prospet Drops may also be used as a preventative and to promote optimal prostate health in male dogs, especially for those owners who do not want their pets neutered.
What are the Ingredients?

Sabal Serrulata is more commonly called Saw Palmetto and is known to be highly effective in treating the symptoms of an enlarged prostate. In human trials Saw Palmetto has been shown to be as effective as prescription drugs at reducing symptoms but without the negative side-effects. Saw Palmetto is also excellent as a prostate tonic and contains natural substances for reducing inflammation of the prostate gland.

Galium aperine(Cleavers) is an herb which has been used in folk medicine for many centuries as a cleansing tonic, lymphatic cleanser and blood purifier. Regular use helps to expel toxins from the body. Clinically, it is most useful for conditions involving inflammation and swelling of glands (glandular fever, tonsillitis, mumps and prostate swelling) and for problems involving the urinary system.
-
Echinacea purpurea is the best known and researched herb for stimulating the immune system. Over 500 scientific studies have documented the effectiveness of this herb. Research has shown that Echinacea increases the activity of the immune system cells, stimulates new tissue growth for wound healing, reduces inflammation and inhibits growth of bacteria, viruses and fungi. These properties make Echinacea the ideal herb for reducing prostate inflammation as well as preventing all types of infections of the prostate including bacterial prostatitis - another cause of prostate and urinary symptoms in pets.
