USMI (Urethral Sphincter Mechanism Incompetence) is urinary incontinence in spayed female dogs due to weakened urethral muscles. I understand your desire to avoid medications used for this condition and their side effects. Our Female Incontinence remedy often helps female dogs with this issue. You can also add in our Adrenal Tonic to offer additional support to the endocrine system. If further help is needed I would also add in the Biopreparation F3 formula that crosses the blood-brain barrier to support the hypothalamus - the master endocrine gland. Finally, a quick word about diet. Most commercial pet foods are very high in carbohydrates. These are converted to sugars in the body that force the kidneys to work harder to excrete the excess glucose resulting in more urine. Your dog could benefit from a healthy, whole food diet. This diet can be home-prepared, a premix to which you add your own meat or a commercially prepared whole food diet. We offer suggestions in our article How to Feed Your Dog.
