Beagle urinating often

Question
Hi, my female Beagle, Lucky, who is 1 year and seven months old, seems to be urinating in small amounts inside the house, but would also go outside for her normal urination (which is much larger in quantity); When she goes at home in small amount, she keeps licking there. She drinks and eats her proper diet. We give her Eagle Pack (Lamb and Rice) holistic food and also give her a supplement for skin and coat (Pet-Pro) and were also giving her supplement Multi-vitamins (have stopped it now).
We have given her Urine sample to our vet for UTI and should be in by 2 days.
I would like to know if there is a particular diet you would  recommend for my beagle and any other suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Answer
Sounds like a UTI to me. I would feed something that has a low purine count if your vet does discover a UTI. Don't go to Hills Science diet U/T which is what a lot of vet's recommend.  They just don't know better. If she is diagnosed with a UTI get back to me and I will give you some websites that will help you out and some suggestions for dog food. If not, you're doing great and feeding a great food. Flint River Lamb and Rice Wellness has a low purine level. I'm really not sure about Eagle pack but it is a great dog food in general.
Make sure she gets vitamin C in her supplements and vitamin E as well, Flaxseed oil is another good one. Vitamin C will help to boost her immune system
good luck
