I would take her to the vet for antibiotics, put her on a diet, and start exercising her more.

No, there is no pet store remedy. If she has a bladder problem, she needs to see a vet. To help her loose weight, take her for walks every day.

No. You need to see a veterinarian. If you had a bladder infection, would you go to the doctor or the grocery store?

she most likely has a bladder infection that willl need antibiotics from your vet. Although you can get some herbal remedies designed to keep infections at bay such as cranberry tabs but this will not clear the infection. She will need to see a vet.

There is no pet store remedy that I know of. Your vet can give you medication … my Vizsla has the same problem. It might help if you get some weight off of her, an overweight dog will have a lot more problems than one of a healthy weight.

Yes…it’s called a leash. You put her on it, and walk both of your lazy butts outside so she can go there. And while you’re out there, taking her for a walk would do some good too.
Back for the first time in weeks and the trolls got me. Sad.

yes, a dog training book. the dog won’t just stop peeing in you house until it’s taught to do so. some pet stores, like Petco go even farther as to provide pet training on certain days of the week at the store itself.

No, you need to have her checked by a vet.
She could have a urinary tract infection, or have urinary incompetance – either way, she would need the correct medication. Neither is terribly expensive – but you must get your dog proper veterinary care.
Think about how painful and horrible it would be if you give a dog an OTC thing fto close up her ureter, and then find that she has developed a life threatening kidney infection.
And oh, by the way, she could be diabetic, too.

No. There isn’t, as you don’t know what is causing it, even if you did, there’s likely not an over the counter remedy for it. A vet will need to diagnose her. It could be a urinary tract infection (needs a prescription medication), or it could be a neurological issue, the muscles that control the bladder may be damaged, etc etc. All things that need a vet’s care. So, take her in, get her diagnosed, and treat the cause.

~ This is because of the dog food you are feeding. You need to change dog food and lower the calories your dog eats. Is your dog on a food schedule? What diet is your dog on?
