Why is my 8-year-old spayed dog leaking urine when relaxing?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 40 lbs

Hi there, my 8 year old spayed female dog keeps leaking urine when she is lying relaxing. I have been giving her Cranberry Bladder Bites to try help with kidney and urinary strength but it doesn't seem to be helping. What else can you recommend? May thanks!

Hello. There are several medications that may help Nala with her urinary incontinence, both prescription medications available from your veterinarian ( Proin & Incurin ). Please see your vet to first rule out the possibility of this being an urinary infection, bladder stones, or other reason for the urine leaking, then you can try the medications to control her leakage.
