My dog pees when excited. Could it be a UTI or bladder infection?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Cocker Spaniel | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 11 months old

Remy tinkles when she’s excited could that be a sign of a bladder infection, she only does it when she’s excited..

This is more likely due to submission urination, not a UTI, if Remy does it when she's excited. Check out this article by Dr. Sophia Yin on the subject: https://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/piddling_pooches/
