Question
I am in desperate need of help with my 2 year old cockapoo! I have had him for about 2 months and he pees everywhere. I take him out on a regular basis but he still pees everywhere. Just recently he has been peeing in his crate everytime I leave. I dont know what to do! I think I will have to get rid of him if this doesn't change! I NEED advice:) HELP!!

Answer
Hi Nichole,
Your pup undoubtedly has a urinary tract infection.
Take him to the vet immediately.  If you can, get a urine sample to take with you.  A course of anti-biotics will clear this up and, in the meantime, don't be mad at him since he can't help it.  Keep him confined to the kitchen or somewhere where an accident won't do damage until the meds kick in.
