My dog has passed bladder stones about 3 years ago and i think she has more. She seems to have accidents inside lately and her urine is very dark and stinks. Any advice?

The advice is that she should see a vet for an exam, have a urine test done and an x-ray to see if she has bladder stones again. The dark urine is a bit concerning and can be an indication of kidney disease so blood testing to check her kidneys is also recommended.
