15 week puppy peeing while laying down, awake!

My puppy has been doing very well with crate training. This week, we went on vacation, taking the crate with us! She urinated in crate twice (first time she has done this!)

Tonight (at home) she was laying on the bed, chewing a bone. When she got up, pee was everywhere! She didn't seem to notice. I am wondering if this happened in her crate, too. She has never peed in her crate before, and certainly never while laying down. She is a 15 week old Standard Goldendoodle.



Hi LaRae
I'd recommend having your vet take a look at your pup, she could have a UTI (urinary tract infection), they're fairly common in female puppies and cause cause this sort of problem.

It doesn't sound as though it's a housebreaking problem as she's doing pretty well, and seem oblivious to the fact that she's peeing.

Your vet will be able to make a diagnosis and prescribe any medications that she may need.

Best of luck, hope she's doing better soon.
