My dog got a UTI on glucosamine. Is it safe to keep giving it?

Question

Good afternoon! Our dog is 6. He is Yellow Lab and Mastiff. We were giving him a Glucosamine and Chondroitin Supplement. He came down with a UTI, is there any correlation between the two? We are now very leery of starting it back up. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 6 years and 2 months old | 90 lbs

No, there should not be any correlation. As a matter of fact Glucosamine has benn shown to be beneficial for the lining of the bladder also. You can keep giving the chondroitin and glucosamine to MoJo. But do have the UTI diagnosed and treated by a veterinarian. Male dogs rarely get UTIs, so there may be something more serious going on such as a kidney infection or prostate infection.
