Urinary incontinence in older dogs is common but not necessarily 'normal aging' that can't be addressed. It's often due to weakened bladder muscles, hormonal imbalances, or underlying medical conditions like urinary tract infections, kidney disease, or even conditions affecting the spine. While common, it's important to rule out treatable causes. Your vet can perform tests to diagnose the specific reason and discuss treatment options, which might include medication, dietary changes, or other management strategies. It's best to address it promptly to improve your pet's comfort and hygiene.
