Cornsilk

Corn silk is highly beneficial for dogs with multiple benefits, including its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. Corn silk is also high in calcium, Vitamin B and K, and has moderate amounts of iron, zinc, potassium, magnesium, silicon, and phosphorus.

Corn silk acts as a natural diuretic, helping to increase urine production and flush out the urinary tract, assisting dogs with urinary tract infections (UTIs) or bladder issues. It may also reduce inflammation in the urinary tract, alleviating symptoms of conditions like cystitis.

Corn silk may help support kidney function by promoting the elimination of waste products through urine, which can be particularly beneficial for dogs with kidney disease or those prone to kidney stones. It also helps with fluid retention and improves kidney function, which is crucial for dogs with kidney disease.

Corn silk can act as a mild laxative, aiding in digestion and helping to alleviate constipation. For dogs experiencing urinary incontinence, corn silk can help strengthen the bladder muscles and reduce leakage. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of corn silk can support overall health and help manage chronic conditions like arthritis.
