PRESCRIPTION NEEDED (Pom-V)

Continence 40 mg/ml Syrup for Dogs is designed to help dogs that leak urine. This often happens when they are asleep, relaxed or lying down. It is most common in neutered bitches with urethral sphincter mechanism incompetence.

The syrup helps tighten the urethral sphincter. This improves bladder control and can reduce or stop dribbling. Used as part of a full continence plan, it can make life easier for both dogs and owners.

✔ Helps reduce urine leakage on bedding, floors and furniture

✔ Liquid format allows accurate dosing by bodyweight
✔ Supplied in 50ml and 100ml bottles for different treatment plans

How Continence 40 mg/ml Syrup for Dogs Works

Continence 40 mg/ml Syrup for Dogs contains an active ingredient that increases the tone of the urethral sphincter. This muscle sits at the exit of the bladder. When it works better, less urine escapes when the dog is resting.

The medicine does not cure the underlying weakness. Instead, it helps manage the signs. Your vet may also look for other issues, such as urinary infections or hormone problems, and treat these if needed.

Your vet may prescribe Continence 40 mg/ml Syrup for Dogs if your dog:

Before prescribing, your vet will usually:

• Take a full history of the problem

• Examine your dog
