My puppy pees while sleeping. Is it a UTI or other medical issue?

Question

My puppy Dakota peed while sleeping on my lap a few months ago, then once on my boyfriends lap about a month ago, once a few days ago on our old bed we put in the living room for a day, and then again again last night shortly after we went to bed in our bed. Dakota is a very active dog but also very lazy and loves her sleep. We were sure at first she was just so lazy she just "let it out" and laughed about it. No we are a little concerned this could be a medical problem.. any suggestions? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 7 months and 7 days old | 22 lbs

Hi, puppies can get urinary tract infections. I would watch her for urinating more frequently and in small amounts. At 7 months, she should be mostly house trained so this is not likely a behavior issue but it is still possible. I would take her to the vet for an exam if it happens a third time. They can put her on some antibiotics for this and she should be fine. Good luck!
