My dog is licking herself frequently and peeing inside. Is it a UTI?

Hello, I think my dog may have a uti but I am not positive. She has been licking herself pretty often. And about an hour ago I noticed she had peed herself which is not common for her. Could this be a uti?

Yes, this can be a sign of a UTI. Feed Nala canned food and add water to it to flush her bladder. Have her seen by a vet on Monday. Take her into an ER vet immediately if you see blood in her urine, she becomes lethargic, and/or anorexic. I hope this helps!
