How Can Tinkle Tonic Help Your Pet?
One of our long-time, most-trusted companies, Animal Essentials, offers a customer favorite herbal tincture called Tinkle Tonic. This supplement has been described as a “life-saver” by users. It supports a healthy urinary tract with a formula that is gentle on the stomach. Our customers use this for cats and dogs with chronic UTIs (Urinary Tract Infections) and senior spayed-female dogs experiencing leakage as examples.

Tinkle Tonic is a liquid best given on an empty stomach directly into the pet’s mouth. It can be given with food if this recommended method is not accepted by the animal. It comes in 1 or 2 oz bottles with a graduated dropper for easy measurement.
As with any supplement, discussion with your veterinarian is recommended to avoid interactions with other treatments or medications.
