Why is My Potty-Trained Dog Suddenly Peeing in the House?

Hell everyone…

I’ve had my dog for a couple of years, and she’s always been well potty-trained. However, over the past week, she’s started peeing inside the house, which is very unusual for her.

Can anyone help me figure out why this might be happening?

Hey, I’d suggest checking for a urinary tract infection. My pup had the same issue, and it turned out to be a UTI. It’s actually quite common in dogs. The vet was able to diagnose it quickly and provide an easy treatment. They usually prescribe antibiotics, which work fast to clear it up. If you notice symptoms like frequent urination, straining, or blood in the urine,[for your case there is no blood] definitely get your dog checked out. It’s a straightforward problem to fix with the right vet care!

My male dog began casually urinating in front of me in the house two weeks ago. When I took him to the vet, his urine pH was elevated even though there were no indications of a UTI (negative quick test). After we started taking antibiotics, the urination ceased. Always rule out medical issues first.

I’ve had my dog for a couple of years, and she’s always been well potty-trained, which makes her recent behavior of peeing inside the house quite unusual. This change started about a week ago, and I’m concerned about what might be causing it. I’m seeking advice to understand why this might be happening.
