Is Incurin safe for my young spayed dog's incontinence long-term?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 56 lbs

Belle is 1 year old. I noticed her urinating in her sleep (naps and at night shortly after adopting her at 10 months old). My vet put her on Incurin 1mg and she hasn’t urinated anymore. But should I be concerned that she is on this at such a young age? All the things I’ve read are female dogs 5+ years old... should I try a supplement?

As Belle is a fairly large dog incontinence after spaying is a relatively common occurrence, Most dogs become incontinent when a little older, but it can indeed happen to younger dogs as well. This is due to a lack of female hormones which used to be produced by the ovaries, Belle will likely need to take the Incurin for a longer period of time if not life-long.
