Why Does My Dog Seem to be Leaking Urine?

Urinary incontinence in female dogs is very common. The most common sign is that your dog will be laying down, and when they get up, you see a wet spot where they were laying. The good news is that urinary incontinence is very treatable. Veterinarians usually want to do a urine test before treating to make sure that there isn’t another problem, like a urinary tract infection. If there is no other problem, then either an estrogen hormone supplement, or another medication called phenylpropanolamine can be used. Both medications work by increasing urinary sphincter tone.
