My dog won't go out side to pee. She only pees inside. My dog snapped at a person and she's been acting super off. Should I take her to the vet?

Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If Nala is having urinary accidents at home, it could be due to a behavioral or medical issue. Given that she is not acting herself, I think it would be a good idea to have her evaluated by your veterinarian to proceed with an examination and at least some labwork to for example look for any evidence of a urinary tract infection that could be easily treated. Other possibilities include urinary tract stones, among other conditions. Abdominal radiographs or ultrasound may be recommended by your veterinarian based on the initial findings. Good luck!
