Bladder Control

Any dog that starts losing bladder control should see a veterinarian for blood and urine analysis. Incontinence can indicate diabetes, chronic kidney failure, or infection. If all medical concerns have been checked, the dog may be having behavior issues that can be managed through training. Older female dogs and medium- to large-sized dogs are most often affected by urinary incontinence.

Bladder control medications for dogs include phenylpropanolamine and diethylstibesterol.
