Hello. This is actually pretty common. Daisy has a large uterus with puppies that is pressing on her urinary bladder. The urge to urinate all the time is very common in late pregnancy. You can either just clean up after her, or put a doggie diaper on. Either way, this will stop once she has her puppies. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
