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

She could be urinating because she is excited to see you, or it could be submissive urination in that she is trying to show you she isn't a threat. The Humane Society has a good article that tells you how to train this behavior out of your dog, and I will include a link below to it to help you get her to stop this behavior: http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/dogs/tips/submissive_urination.html

Hi and thanks for using Boop by Petco! Sorry to hear that Remy did that. It's possible she just got wrapped up in the moment of playing and then suddenly had the urge to urinate without bothering to ask to be let outside. Dogs sometimes exhibit odd behavior like this such as urinating on beds, couches, etc. I would advise just monitoring her for any signs that her urinary problems are returning. Sometimes urinary problems can be seen but the urinalysis is essentially normal, like in her repeat urinalysis. Watch for signs of increased thirst, increased urination, frequent urination, straining, and inappropriate urination. If these occur she may have a recurrence of the problem despite a fairly normal urinalysis. I hope this was an isolated incident and she doesn't relapse in her house training due to a urinary issue. I wish you the best of luck with Remy.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Shera. If this is a recent change in behavior, then she needs to see her veterinarian for urine testing. If this has been the case all along and it only happens with excitement, then it is more likely behavioral. Most puppies will outgrow this behavior. However, it is always best to have her urine tested if you are concerned. I hope this information helps!

I recommend googling ‘Banfield excitement and submissive urination’ and ‘VCA excitement and submissive urination’ for tips on reducing how worked up Harley gets when you or your boyfriend come home or when she is approached by other people. Additionally starting her on daily, natural and safe 5 star rated VetriScience Composure Chews available on chewy.com and PetCo.com will likely help as well Using an adaption calming pheromone plug-in may help lower her overall anxiety levels as elk. Good luck!

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Maisy! Maisy may have a urinary tract infection or she may have a congenital defect with in her urinary system (ectopic ureter). I would schedule an appointment with your Vet and bring a urine sample for them to check for infection. I hope this helps and I wish Maisy a speedy recovery!

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! That is a sign of being nervous or just submissive. That is not something that is likely to get better other than with time as she gets more comfortable with her surroundings. Best of luck!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your puppy. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian for an examination and urine testing. It is important to differentiate between a medical problem and her learning how to be potty trained. A behavioral problem is most common at her age, but I do see urinary tract infections as well as congenital disorders. I hope this information helps!

You are not doing anything wrong. Sometimes they get too excited outside and do. It completely empty. When you are worried, take her outside within that 30 minutes period to give her a chance to go again if she seems distracted. If her routine completely breaks down she seems to be regressing more I have her checked for a uribary tract infection

What he's doing is probably submissive urination. He sees you as an authority figure, or someone he's very happy to see and urinates. Submissive urination is normal canine communication. When a dog submissively urinates, he’s trying to convey that he’s not a threat. Dogs who submissively urinate usually do so when greeting people or animals, during exciting events, while playing, during physical contact, such as petting, or when scolded or punished. When in a situation that seems to trigger submissive urination, a dog will tend to display submissive postures, such as cowering, lowering the body, raising the front paws, tucking the tail, flattening the ears back, licking the lips or displaying a submissive grin. Submissive urination is most common in puppies, but some adult dogs submissively urinate as well, especially those who seem to lack confidence. The following suggestions might help you manage, minimize or stop the behavior. If possible, greet him outside. Toss a handful of

Hi. Congratulations on the new puppy. I'm sorry you were experiencing urination with excitement. This can be very common in puppies unfortunately. I would recommend having a urinalysis test done to make sure that she doesn't have a urinary tract infection. I would also recommend that your daughter and any other visitors ignore the puppy at first and talking in non-excited tones. Have her walk outside with you and go potty. Hopefully she will grow out of it. I would definitely discuss with your veterinarian also.
