Over half of adults in the United States use prescription drugs.

Urinary disorders include any conditions, diseases, or infections that affect the urinary tract. The urinary tract, or urinary system, is made up of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. These parts of the body work together to help filter the blood, eliminate waste products in the form of urine, and regulate hydration. Urinary disorders can be difficult to manage and live with. However, urinary disorders are common, and they can affect both men and women. Fortunately, urinary disorders are relatively easy to treat with treatment options widely available.

Like humans, dogs can be affected by diabetes too. Around 0.2% to 1.2% of dogs are affected, especially breeds like Samoyeds and Tibetan Terriers that may be predisposed. If your dog has recently been diagnosed with diabetes, it can be hard to come to terms with knowing they will need treatment.
