STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Involuntary passage of urine normally occurs while your pet is asleep or resting. It can be just a small wet spot or a good sized puddle, depending on how much urine is being unintentionally passed
  • This is not a behavioral problem, it’s a medical problem — so trying to correct or punish your pet is a bad idea on multiple levels
  • The cause of your pet’s urinary incontinence will dictate what treatment she receives. If your pet is diagnosed with hormone-induced urinary incontinence, I strongly recommend you consider attempting to treat the problem naturally
