Holding in urine to long and too often can cause the muscle, over time, to weaken, and to not drain the bladder entirely, increasing the chance for bladder infection or UTI. This is definitely a UTI cause you can manage by providing a frequent and constant time to walk or turn out your dog.

Bacterial infections are a common cause of a UTI. When bacteria find their way into your dog's body it is usually by contaminants typically in unclean food or water. Another way bacteria enters your dog's body is through the urethra. Bacteria found in the bowel on the skin near the rectum or vagina can enter the urinary tract through the urethra. By moving upwards in the urethra this bacteria causes bladder and other types of infections.
