Introduction: Understanding a House Trained Dog’s Urinary Accidents
Dog owners often experience instances where their house trained dog has urinary accidents indoors. This can be frustrating and concerning, especially if the dog has been consistently following its potty training routine. However, it is important to understand that there can be underlying medical and behavioral issues that cause this behavior. In this article, we will explore the various causes of urinary accidents in house trained dogs and how to address them.
Medical Conditions That Cause Urinary Accidents in Dogs
Medical conditions can cause urinary accidents in house trained dogs. For example, urinary tract infections (UTIs) can cause a dog to urinate more frequently and in inappropriate locations. Diabetes and Cushing’s disease can also cause urinary accidents due to the increased thirst and frequency of urination. Additionally, certain medications can cause urinary incontinence in dogs. If you suspect that your dog may have a medical condition causing urinary accidents, it is important to take them to a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment.
