She used to get bloody urine about every other month, now she has been free of them for 2 years. Do not use home remedy's get the proper drug.and they do much better.

Next time you see the VET ask that they check the dogs Urine. Some dog breeds are known to have urinary tract problems which causes a buildup of protein in the urine. This results in symptoms similar to an infection but can be more harmful.
I have a Dalmatian with this problem and now have him on a vegetarian diet and have medication which I give him weekly. He's been fine.

You know, my dog had a UTI not long ago. I asked my vet what I can do in the future to prevent it and she told me that sometimes they just get it for no apparent reason like people. My dogs are clean and well kept. It's going to be interesting to see other answers. I would like to gain knowledge on this, also.

This may sound weird to you but once a week cook some bacon and give her a little of bacon grease on her food. this will promote healthy coat and allow her bodily functions to straighten out.( remember theey were in the woods before they were invited into our homes to be domestic animals) also give her a little orange gatorade (only the orange contains what you need in it) once in a while, you will have to put it in a syringe and then inject it into her mouth but this will add electrolites to her system and it will help her bladder when she pee's them out. good luck . oh, sometimes that very very expensive food doesn't agree with their systems. try mid market value

Maybe it is time your dog seen a specialist.
Ask the vet for a referral to a urologist.
