Peeing in His Sleep in Dogs

My dog was sleeping in my bed soundly, and I had gotten up to go get something to eat in the middle of the night and he was still sleeping when I left and my bed was completely soaked and so was he. He was sitting on the ground at this point. He’s never had any incidents like this before. I took him for a UA and it came up none definitive while offered seems like an excessive option. They did an ultrasound and no bladder stones. No blood work was drawn. Do you think it’s necessary? He doesn’t show any signs of spinal cord disease. So I felt the X-ray was a bit excessive. At his age do you feel it’s just control?

Ginger is a rescue so my best guess for age is 7 or 8, she’s a Maltese griffin mutt mix and will pee whenever she is very relaxed or asleep every time without fail. We have been to the vet and nothing has worked. We’ve tried scheduled potty breaks, a medicine that came in a dark glass bottle with a dropper and ruled out kidney disease and urinary tract infections. She is spayed. She is very active and not over weight. She doesn’t eat or drink more than she should either. She loves to sleep with me in my bed and it helps my anxiety to have her there but I can’t when she pees on me every night to the point I have to change my sheets. Any suggestions?

My dog is roughly three months old. He is a very hyper and playful puppy who is trained to go to the bathroom. Today he hasn't really slept. Upon sleeping for the first time today, I noticed him peeing lightly. I noticed that he drank a ton of water entering my room before sleeping. My guess is maybe he didn't notice due to it being light and him sleeping heavily? Plus with the water. He doesn't seem to be suffering from any of these symptoms.But maybe I'm overlooking something.

For the last month my dog has been waking up screaming/yelping and then peeing. He is a 12 year old dachshund. I have mentioned it to the vet and to the vet tech, but neither gave a definitive response.

I have a 15-year-old rat terrier One of three dogs that sleep in my room I’ve noticed an odd you’re in a smell for a while now and I just tracked it down to the 15-year-old bed after he had an accident in mine it seems he’s been peeing in his sleep. When I checked on him this morning his bed was totally soaked and as I woke him up small jet of liquid came. He has no problem during the day holding it. When I come back from work no accidents. I’m hoping this is just an old age thing but if that’s the case what exactly are my options should I start putting a diaper on him ?

My Husky is 10 years old/male. This morning when he got up my husband noticed that he pee in his sleep. This is the first time this has happened. He does spot here and there when we get home and he is excited but nothing like this. He current has an ear infection but other than this his behavior hasn't been off.

hi, I have a black lab puppy. She was the runt. Born March 18. No problems so far and is Potty trained otherwise. But she pees in her sleep. Is there anything I can do or will she grow out of it? she’ll b laying on me or the couch and b sleeping and just pee without even waking up but when she’s awake she goes to the door and has almost no Accidents. She’s about 10 pounds. her 8 week vet appt before adoption said she was in perfect health, just smaller than the other puppies in her litter

My puppy (she’s 14 weeks) pees in her sleep. It’s happened maybe 4 times before. Should I take her in anywhere? Is this normal since she is a puppy? What I read here is kind of frightening.

Hi my 9 year old Chihuahua has been peeing in his sleep but everything else is normal with him. He does get up in the middle of the night and goes out the doggy door. So I’m confused nothing else seems wrong...

Hi I have a 11 week old German Shepard puppy. We have him crate trained and he would usually wake up and cry to go to the bathroom during the night. Just recently maybe the past two nights he hasn’t woken up to pee and ended up peeing on himself. He doesn’t cry of seem in pain while
Peeing, and he pees just fine with no straining during the day. He tends to drink a lot of water after playing or anything really laboring but that’s all. We weren’t sure if it could be a UTI and if we should take him in right away since he doesn’t have accidents during the day just one accident at night for the past two days.

I got a new puppy about a week ago and she hasn’t had her first shots yet. But she is peeing in her sleep. She drinks water often and she eats every time I feed her. I’m just worried why she is peeing in her sleep. I don’t think that’s normal for a puppy. Rilee is 10 weeks old.

Hi! I have a 15 week old puppy that I adopted almost 2 weeks ago. Since I got her, she has always peed 2-3 times when she's out for a walk, but I noticed that the 2nd or 3rd time rarely produces any urine. I thought she might have a UTI, and then two nights ago she peed in her sleep. This has now happened two more times during the day, but in small amounts. The vet ran a urinalysis and said that her urine was diluted, and she had red and white blood cells in her urine, but no bacteria and
a normal PH. He suggested she might have vaginitis and prescribed an antibiotic. I'm also limiting her water in the evening, but even during the day the incontinence is still occurring. How likely is it that this is a simple case of vaginitis (or a uti) that will resolve itself once the antibiotics have been completed? Should I limit my puppy's water during the day as well?

Hello, My 2 year old American Staffordshire Terrier/Boxer has wet the bed maybe 3 times in the past couple of weeks while she has been sleeping. I took her to the vet a week ago and they did a test and nothing was wrong with her. but it just happened today. What should I do?

Hello, I adopted a 18 month old AmStaff dog 4 months ago. He was neutered at 13 months. I have noticed that he seems to have occasional urinary incontinence when he sleeps. It isn't super frequent but usually seems to occur when he is super active at night. He also will have an occasional 'bad few days' when he will pee by the back door when he knows how to ring the bell to go outside 90% of the time. I have never seen any blood in his urine. He also seems to get skin irritation around the area which I assume is from the urine. Could this be related be to the neutering? If so, how is this treated?

My puppy has been peeing while walking and randomly inside even though I take him outside frequently. Last night he was asleep and whimpering and urinated in his sleep. Is this normal for a puppy?

Kya has been examined by a vet and was prescribed clavamox to treat UTI, but she continued to pee in her sleep and around the house. Her urine sample came back fine so we did blood work which turned out normal also. We have now tried proin for incontinence in older dogs but she is still urinating in her sleep. She also drinks excessively. What could this issue be? Do you think estrogin pills could work for her instead of proin or does this sound like a more serious issue because of her excessive drinking?

We have a two year old yellow lab that started having wetting accidents within the past month. We just lost our other dog, a 13 year old lab around the same time. There have been three accidents on beds during the night, two in the car and one while sitting during a walk on the street...she just wet where she was sitting. I've had her checked for UTI but results were negative. Feeding is normal, activity level high and sprits are good. Could this be related to the mourning process or should I take her back for another visit?

We have had Halli for a little over two weeks now. She is just over two months old, and I know it seems crazy because she is so young, but potty training has not been an issue. She is really good at letting us know when she needs to go out during the day, doesn’t go in her crate, and will wake us up in the middle of the night. The last week Halli has peed in her sleep a total of 5 times and it seems to be an entire bladder full. It does not wake her up, and she doesn’t seem to notice it at all. I’m worried there may be something physically wrong with her.

my dog had been peeing in her sleep everytime she goes to sleep. it doesn’t matter if she went pee before or went on a walk or even during the day. if she sleeps she pees. i have told my mother it could be uti but she told be it isn’t as she doesn’t have the symptoms except for peeing in her sleep. she is perfectly healthy and doesn’t pocess any other symptoms. is there any solution i can do at home to solve this. my mum doesn’t wish to spend money on the vet.

Hello, we have a 2-year old boxer/Greyhound mix spayed female dog. While watching TV, she likes to lay on the couch with us. The past two days, she has peed on the couch in her sleep. This is very unordinary, as she has been housebroken. I’ve also noticed, when she pees, she continues sleeping and lays in it. We don’t notice until she gets up.

Just now, before we let her outside to go to bed, I found that she peed on our couch again, while sleeping. I noticed her gums were very pale and white.
I need your advice.

UTD on everything she occasionally urinates in her sleep or urinates where she is laying/awake. It happened again last night as she was laying on the floor next to my spouse. She is not lethargic, no fever, or does not seem sick. She does occasionally have bile in her kennel in the morning.

My female dog has peed for the second time this month (she has never done this before). She is extremely well behaved and trained, she would never pee on the bed (not even when she was a puppy) She is 3y3m old and when she is out for walk after the 3rd time there is not pee (I believe this is a sort of territory mark, even if is a drop). I've noticed that both time that she peed she was under the blanket (very warm and comfy) so I attributed it to a "wet dream" in her inconsistent. When she woke up like nothing happened, not even realize that she was wet to lick herself. After reading this information the situation worries me even more and not only because Khloe sleep with me and pee my bed is more of the fact that this could be a health issue. She has vet control middle of March. not sure if is too long wait (and monitor her until there) or should I take her right now?

Hi I have a Chihuahua who is 3 yrs old. I recently brought homehis son who is 5 months. It's been about 3 weeks that I've noticed his been wetting the bed. He is potty trained and all. Weird part is it doesn't stain like a pee stain nor does it smell as urine. What can be done or what do you think it can be?

I have a 4 y/o, female, Old English Sheepdog. She has had multiple UTI's and I can usually detect when this is starting as she will just urinate while standing, when she moves, etc.

More recently she has started urinating while she is sleeping. Last night I had her outside, she went to the bathroom and then urinated on the dog bed and her crate was wet this morning. She isn't even realizing she is urinating as she will lay/sit in the puddle until I notice a smell or she gets up for another reason.

She was spayed at roughly 8 months old.

A few months ago I noticed my teacup chihuahua woke up from a nap and instantly started licking her private areas. I later realised there was a decent sized wet spot right where she was sleeping and it smelled like urine. She isnt house trained fully, but shes never relieved herself where she sleeps. I figured this was a one time thing like sometimes toddlers do but today i noticed she did it again. Twice actually. Along with immedately licking her privates. Her gums look fine, her abdomen feels hydrated, cant feel any abnormalities, eating and drinking is normal, she is pretty normal. I cant afford a trip to the vet yet but I cant stop worrying.

Boris is a 2yo Pembroke Corgi. Over the last 3-4 months he's peed in the bed twice while sleeping. It's not a large amount but enough to wet the comforter and sheets. He's pretty active. He doesn't drink abnormal amounts of water. He's on a controlled diet because he gained a bit of weight last winter. He's lost around 5lbs. The night pees have not been close to each other. They've been a few months apart. Should I be concerned. He's a very deep sleeper. When we go to bed at night he sleeps really hard. Just don't want my little one to be sick. He's my world. Thanks.

My dog has started weeing in his sleep. He is 14 years old and been diagnosed with diabetes and unconfirmed Cushings disease (although vet is 100% certain he has Cushings. He is drinking a lot and weeing a lot during the day. He has never had an accident before.

My dog has been peeing in the middle of the night while asleep I take him out many times during the day plus he has potty pads should he need to pee in the middle of the night. But still ends up peeing while he's asleep he's been on antibiotics for almost ten days and the problem still exists. He's 9 years old and does have epilepsy while his seizures are minor. He's not neutered when I took him to the vet they were unable to examine him due to fear and not wanting to cooperate. I was hoping the antibiotic would have help but not sure what it could be at this point.

My dog will be 2 in October, we rescued him at 18 months. He recently started seeing in his crate while sleeping. It seems to coincide with when I take him to the dog park and he plays hard.

Hello,

I first noticed my dog started drinking excessive water about 3 weeks ago. Now he’s been having pee accidents about 4-5 times a week. He woke up in his puddle of pee twice in a week already(new since 4/30/2018.) I even saw him having a pee accident one time while standing, but it was like he peed without knowing it. He’s still energetic, and has a good appetite. Is this just a part of getting old?

I have an 11 month old black lab who urinated in his sleep last night, a decent amount as if he emptied his bladder. He has been house trained since he was very young and never had accidents in the house. We took him out at 11:30pm and I woke up at 6:30am to a puddle. Typically if he has to go during the night he wakes us up. Is this something I need to take him right to the vet for or should I just keep an eye on him?

I took my 6 month old maltipoo pup in for blood work because ever since I got her, she drinks a ton of water and pees frequently and a lot (of liquid). It’s like it flows right through her! Last night she woke me up to pee, she went just fine and we went back to bed. This morning I woke up, and picked her up. She was in a small puddle. She’s never done this before (that I’m aware of). The doc said all of her blood work came in normal, but said I might want to get an additional check for her urethra to see if there’s a defect? She consistently poops and pees outside, but has pee accidents in the house all of the time, yet she can hold poop just fine.

I just adopted two 2 month old female pups which have been spayed/neuter. They both have been very active. But as of now one of them after being active all day and being playful, she fell asleep on my bed and wet the bed. I tried to pick her up and she started making a noise almost like a tiny growling like if she's in pain. As well she can't seem to balance herself, or even stand. Please can someone let me know what is causing this.

My two year old woke up in the middle of the night bc he was peeing. He was shaking quite a lot and hid after finishing. After encouraging words and petting he was back to normal, he even ate a treat and went back to sleep without incidents. His water intake during the day was normal, and his mood was as good and happy as always.

Hello my dog is peeing in her sleep there is not much water intake and she is very old what should I do. She goes for big walks on mon,sun,wed and thurs so she is getting a lot of exersize, and she sleeps most of the day every day.

Sam is a 10 year old Irish Setter/Golden Retriever. Late winter she started urinating in her sleep. My Vet examined her, with bloodwork and prescribed Proin 50. It did not help. Doc tested a urine sample and said her urine was very dilute. I monitored her water intake and doc said she should be drinking 57oz per day. She was drinking between 80 and 128oz per day. He prescribed Desmopressin acetate. We started at 1 drop in alternating eyes twice a day. We ended up at 4 drops in the same manner. It didn't help. He then did a test for Cushings disease and that was negative. He has exhausted all of his resources in trying to determine Sam's problem, since he operates a small rural clinic. What does this information lead you to believe is wrong with Sam and how expensive would treatment be? I can't have her in the house anymore and I really want her to be able to spend nights sleeping in the house, especially with another Minnesota winter just around the corner! HELP!!!

Hello my dog Remington is a 2 year old border collie beagle.today was the first time where she was sleeping and wet herself. It was not a lot but she did do it twice. It does not smell but she's doing it while sleeping. She does not drink anymore then she normally does and her eating habits are the same as well. We did recently within the past two days move. I don't know if that has something to do with it but this is something very new for her.

my 5 1/2 month old puppy peed in his sleep last night for the first time. he has never done this before, we normally take him out every night prior to us going to bed and did so but I had to stay up a little later than usual and he was with me (although sleeping). I'm just very concerned that he peed in his sleep and didn't wake up. he does drink a fair bit of water every day but because of the size/breed of the dog we figure that is normal. he sometimes pees while he walks but it always very little. he isn't neutered yet. Should I be worried?
