My dog pees frequently and scoots. Is it a UTI or anal glands?

Question

Hi there - my dog (19-month-old female rescue, probably a husky/pit mix) has been peeing pretty frequently (more than 4 times a day) and occasionally rubbing her rear end across the floor. On walks she will often pee a little bit in a few different places. I'm not sure if she's just marking territory or if there's cause for concern about a UTI or anything else.

If you are noticing an increased frequency of urination, she needs to be checked for a UTI. Since she can't talk and tell you, you have to look into it. Have her anal glands checked as well. I hope this helps.
