Why is my dog having nighttime pee accidents? UTI or behavior?

Question

My dog drinks and pees normally during the day. But she had "accidents" at nights. Could this be UTI or just behavioral? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | 3 years and 6 months old

This sounds like it's more likely to be behavioral, from your description - but if it's a recent change for Chichi, it's always a good idea to have a urinalysis done just to make sure. If any evidence of infection or other abnormalities are found, your vet can start her on appropriate medication to treat the problem.
