I have a 20 month old female that I have noticed urinates a lot in the kennel more than any of the other dogs. Would this have something to do with type dog food i'm feeding or maybe just a bladder infection. Any feed back would be appreciated.

This is a question that may have to be answered by your vet to check for an underlying problem bladder or kidney infection . Usually problems with food involve the corn content more during the summer months because of the heat it generates causes increased thirst & can cause increased urination - it is not such a problem in the winter (but I still feed grain free Victor year around ) . Female dogs can also have prolapsed uteruses . The muscles holding the uterus become weakened cause it to tilt , where the uterus can be putting pressure on the bladder causing her to go more . Something that can help with bladder infections is AZO cranberrry pills found at Wal-Mart or Dollar General . They will turn the urine bright orange but are a natural cure , a serious infection will require antibiotics , but the cranberry will still help along with it . Is this a new problem or something she's had for sometime/always ? Also is she a younger female or older - my 11 yr old squirrel dog who stays in the house has to go all the time & it's just an age issue & umpteen litters of pups . If in doubt have your vet run a urinalisis to check things out a little more in depth .

Probably a simple UTI. A trip to the vet is in order. My vet always prescribes Clavamox.

Thanks for all the feedback. Took her to the vet and she had a bladder infection. We got her on some Ciprofloxacin and she should be good here in a wk or so.

Cipro is good even for humans - get her some of those cranberry pills (AZO'S) to give with it & for a week or so after antibiotics are done . Ask any woman in your life and they will tell you the wonders of cranberry & bladder infections . Won't hurt her & they are just a couple of bucks for a box. Will turn the pee orange but naturally cleanses the bladder & kidneys .
