My Dog's Having Accidents in her Sleep

General Forum

Hey everyone,

I’m starting to get a bit worried about my dog. I’ve noticed they’ve been peeing on their bed a few times now. At first, I thought it was just an accident, but it’s happening more often. Could they be peeing in their sleep? I’ve never heard of dogs doing that before. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hello Nelly, Dealing with accidents during sleep can be frustrating. Possible causes include:

  • UTI: Symptoms like frequent urination or blood in urine.
  • Incontinence: Could be age-related or due to health issues.
  • Marking Behavior: More common in unspayed dogs.
  • Anxiety/Stress: Changes in environment or routine.

Steps to Take:

  • Visit the vet to rule out medical issues.
  • Limit water before bedtime.
  • Create a comfortable sleep area.
  • Keep a consistent feeding and potty schedule.
  • Check on your dog at night.
  • Consult a trainer if needed.

You may want to visit your vet and explain this to them, this looks like an incontinence issue. Dogs rarely pee on their beds and this should really be a concern.
