Why is our 13 year old femail dog suddenlt wetting in the house also drinking a lot more water

When was her last Vet checkup? I could be anything from kidney problems to thyroid problems to nothing. My dogs have blood work every 6 months in order to keep track of how their bodies are working.

She is 13 yrs old, that is 91 in dog yrs. She is probably losing her bladder control. When I was younger, we had a terrior that lived to be 14. He was having the same problems and my parents finally put him to sleep due to other health complications along with the loss of bladder control.

Unfortunately it is a common problem among elderly dogs just like it is with some elderly people.

Like JudyKayTee said it could be something medically wrong or it could just be her age, the only way to know for sure is with a vet check :)

The 13 dog years equals 91 human years is incorrect.

They say that it is 7 dog years to every human year but it depends on the breed, smaller dogs generally live longer than larger breeds.
