Urinary incontinence in older dogs, especially while resting, is a common issue but not necessarily a normal part of aging that can't be managed. It could be due to weakened bladder control (hormone-responsive incontinence), urinary tract infections, kidney issues, bladder stones, or even neurological problems. It's important to consult your vet to diagnose the underlying cause. There are often effective medications or management strategies available to improve their quality of life. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance to discuss diagnostic options.
