we were talking the other day about bladder infections in dogs in general and the mention of using cranberry capsules for maintaining good bladder health. I dont know if I missed the recommended dosage for an adult bitch and how often to give. Can any one give me more info on this and what brand they would recommend .? I can buy from iherb.com or some place like this if I know what to look for .

I, too, use the cran caps from Walmart or Costco. I just pick up 1000 mg. caps and use 1 a day. You can't overdose on them.....all cranberry does is help keep bacteria from sticking to the walls of the bladder.
I've never used it in a very young pup. Both girls had UTI's as youngsters though around 7-8 months of age when I used it.
It is 90% cranberry powder. The rest is made up of Ester C, Ascorbic Acid and ascorbate. Sot the ammount of ester c is small but it is not something I suggest feeding every day from 8 weeks old and on.
I too do not like to much with the calcium levels on young growing pups.
