my dog urinates in her sleep

Question
I have a 2 year old mix between boxer and shepherd. Just recently we've noticed that she urinates in her sleep and she is still sleeping at this point. What should i do.

Answer
Hi Lynn,

It's very common for female dogs to develop a urinary tract/bladder infection. A symptom of this is leaking urine when sleeping.

This is an easy problem to correct, but it does require a trip to the veterinarian.

Best of luck,
Patti
