UriMax™ Urinary & Bladder Supplement for Dogs

Yes — this formulation is generally safe for dogs with diabetes when used correctly.
None of the ingredients meaningfully raise blood glucose levels, and the primary actives are widely used in both diabetic animals and humans.

✔ Safe for diabetic dogs
✔ Does not raise blood glucose
✔ Suitable for daily use with proper timing
✔ Monitor glucose during initial use

For diabetic dogs, this formulation provides effective urinary support without compromising blood sugar control.

That said, diabetic dogs require a little more attention to dosing and timing, as outlined below.

Will D-Mannose raise my dog’s blood sugar?

Although D-mannose is a simple sugar, it is not metabolised by the body in the same manner as glucose. It is absorbed and excreted primarily unchanged in the urine, where it functions to prevent bacterial adhesion.

At UTIGuard'sinclusion rate, D-mannose does not significantly affect blood glucose and is considered safe for diabetic dogs.

Is cranberry extract safe for diabetic dogs?

Yes.
The cranberry extract contains proanthocyanidins (PACs), which are polyphenols, rather than sugars. These compounds do not influence insulin or blood glucose levels and are safe for long-term use in diabetic dogs.

Do any ingredients lower blood sugar?

Possibly, but mildly.
Astragalus and nettle leaf may slightly improve insulin sensitivity in some dogs. This effect is generally mild and beneficial, but in well-regulated diabetic dogs, blood glucose should be monitored during the first 7–14 days of use.

This does not pose an acute risk, but insulin requirements may change over time.

Can this be given alongside insulin?

Yes — with timing separation.
Marshmallow root contains soothing mucilage that may slow the absorption of oral medications if given at the same time.

To avoid interference:

• Administer this supplement 1–2 hours apart from insulin injections or oral diabetic medications.

Is the apple cider vinegar content safe for diabetic dogs?

Yes, at the included dose.
The amount used is very small (10–20 mg) and does not raise blood sugar. Apple cider vinegar may even support post-meal glucose handling, although its effect on urinary pH varies between dogs.

Are there dogs with diabetes who should not use this product?

Use extra care if your dog:

• Has advanced kidney disease

• Has unstable or poorly controlled diabetes

• Is newly diagnosed and still adjusting insulin levels

In these cases, start with the preventative dose and monitor blood glucose closely.

D-mannose binds to the same receptors that uropathogenic E. coli use to latch onto the bladder lining, helping flush them out in urine.

UTIGuard™ delivers a clinical-strength 500 mg D-mannose per serving.

UriMax™ combines two hero actives: D-mannose (500 mg) and standardised cranberry PACs (45 mg PACs) with marshmallow root (100 mg), olive leaf 4:1 (70 mg) and nettle leaf (30 mg) to soothe the bladder, support healthy urine flow and help prevent recurrence."

Mild cases often show improvement within 24–72 hours when paired with adequate hydration and frequent toilet breaks. If there’s no improvement or symptoms worsen, see your vet promptly to rule out kidney involvement.

Yes. Veterinary diagnosis is essential, especially for first-time UTIs, blood in urine, fever, pain, or suspected kidney infection.

UTIGuard™ can be used alongside vet care to support comfort and help reduce recurrence.

Follow the product label. As a guide, give the daily serving with food and fresh water available at all times. For prevention in dogs prone to UTIs, many pets continue on a maintenance dose after symptoms resolve.

UriMax™ uses gentle, well-tolerated botanicals and nutrients suitable for ongoing urinary support. If your dog is on medication or has a medical condition (e.g., diabetes, kidney disease), please consult your vet before use.

Cranberry PACs and D-mannose primarily work by reducing bacterial adhesion rather than aggressively acidifying urine. They support a healthier urinary environment without harsh pH swings.

Yes. By limiting bacterial adhesion (cranberry PACs + D-mannose), soothing bladder tissue (marshmallow) and supporting antimicrobial defences and urine flow (nettle leaf), UriMax™ helps reduce recurrence when paired with hydration and regular toilet breaks.

Side effects are uncommon. Avoid cranberries if your dog is on blood-thinning therapy unless your vet agrees. Marshmallow may affect the absorption of oral medicines if given together; separate dosing by 1-2 hours

Yes. Females are more prone to UTIs due to a shorter urethra, and seniors may have weaker bladder tone. UriMax™ supports both sexes and all life stages. Seek vet advice if your dog is pregnant, nursing, or has complex health issues.

Mix the daily serving into food. Ensure constant access to fresh water and allow frequent opportunities to urinate. Store in a cool, dry place and use consistently for best results.
