Why does my pregnant dog's indoor pee smell fishy? Is she okay?

If the smell comes and goes, then it is most likely from the anal glands. Dogs have scent glands on either side of the anus that release a stinky liquid that commonly smells fishy. If she is scooting or licking excessively, then I would have your veterinarian check her anal glands to make sure that they are not overly full. However if the smell is coming from her urine, then I would be worried that she has a urinary tract infection and would recommend having your veterinarian examine a urine sample. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your question. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

In general any changes in urination should be evaluated by your vet. Specifically for your girl, we commonly associate a strong fish odor to the urine with certain bacterial urinary tract infections, so I would have your vet check a urine sample on her to assess for a urinary tract infection or any other abnormalities in her urine. I hope that helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Polly! Fishy smelling urine can indicate a urinary tract infection. If she is leaking urine she also have have urinary incontinence. There are 2 medication options for urinary incontinence in female dogs: Proin or DES. I recommend making an appointment with your Vet today or tomorrow and bring a urine sample with you. If Polly has a UTI the Vet will likely prescribe antibiotics. I hope this helps and I wish Polly the very best!

It sounds like Izzy may have a urinary tract infection. I would recommend taking her to see the vet and have a urine run to check for an infection. She may require antibiotics for it. The fishy smell sounds like anal glands. While you are at the vet they can express her anal glands. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

It sounds like Stella may have a UTI causing the bad smell and blood in her urine. She needs to see a vet for this as soon as possible. The vet can do a physical exam, blood tests, and urinalysis to confirm she does have a UTI, and can prescribe antibiotics to treat it.

Sometimes normal excretions from the anal glands can smell fishy and this could be what is making Cheese’s stool smell. If Cheese continues to urinate inappropriately I would recommend seeing a veterinarian to make sure she doesn’t have a urinary tract infection or other lower urinary tract disease.

She lkely has a urinary tract infection. This causes pets to pee often and can also their urine to smell fishy or foul in odor. I would recommend taking Rosie to your vet soon to have her urine tested so that she can get the appropriate antibiotic treatment soon to get this resolved. Best wishes with your pet Rosie moving forward. Take care!
