My dog eats poop, vomits, has diarrhea, and pees inside. What's wrong?

Question

Hello. I have a golden retriever chow-chow mix. She is about 1 year and 3 months old. We adopted her 6 months ago. She has a habit of eating grass, leaves, sticks, and sometimes her poop. She throws up and has diarrhea quite often. Recently, she has started pooping and peeing in the house. She never barks at the door to go outside to go to the bathroom. I am not sure what is wrong. Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 52 lbs

Poor Bella. This may be behavioral or there may be something going on causing her to have accidents. I would first want to rule out any medical issues. I would have your vet take a look at her and check her fecal for parasites including giardia and campylobacter as these can cause a loose stool and even just an increased urgency to go to the bathroom. I would also have them check a urinalysis to ensure she doesn't have a urinary tract infection (UTI), UTIs commonly causing them to have accidents in the house. If everything is normal, I would start back at basics with training. I personally like to crate train dogs because I feel like it works the best. I will attach more info below. I hope this helps! https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-crate-train-your-puppy-or-older-dog/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/top-5-tips-to-potty-train-your-dog-young-and-old/
