    Hi Mary,

    While I am not able to give you a medical diagnosis I can tell you that it is very common for older dogs to have urinary accidents. Typically they cannot hold it as long as they used to so you may be correct in that she needs to go out a bit earlier than you are used to. You could also look to using diapers to help in case of accidents. If you are interested you can read more about our washable diapers here: http://www.dogquality.com/dog-diapers/washable-wonders-female.html

    I hope that helps.

    Hi,
    My lab/sharpei is 18 yrs. old and will be 19 in April, she has occasional accidents w/ her bowel and the stool is dry and hard, (thank goodness for me) today she had a urinary accident and that is different for her. She was extremely conscious about her housebreaking. She is pretty much deaf and can see pretty well, she loves her walks, maybe because of the cold weather she had this accident.
    I’m thinking maybe I should get her some boots and take her out earlier than usual it is literally in the teens here, so I dont go out early,
    I am feeding her GD dog food and I make a stew w/ free range/organic chicken, sweet potatoes and celery I put this over her kibble.
    any ideas? she does have some kidney deficiency and arthritis.
    Mary
