Incontinence in dogs is usually associated with old age but it can happen to dogs of any age. It's important to figure out what the underlying cause is by taking your dog to the vet.
Incontinence in dogs that is caused by bacterial infection, bladder stones, or old age can be effectively treated with herbs, diet, water, and exercise. Lifestyle change is the key to alleviating this issue in dogs.
If you use commercial dog food, be aware that particularly dry foods, are laden with excessive amounts of carbohydrates and minerals. Also, the lack of moisture in dry foods doesn't help.
When there are too many artificial minerals and carbohydrates in your pet's food, they cause the pH balance of his urinary tract to get thrown off. This can lead to infection and thus urinary incontinence in dogs.
