Our 5 year old Springer Spaniel is peeing on our bed on occasion. I have had her tested for kidney or urinary infections and she is fine. Sometimes she pees when she is sound asleep and is now being treated for incontinence. She has been on this medication for about 3 weeks.
We now do not allow her on the bed at all and keep our bedroom door closed when we are not watching. We now have her sleep in her crate, along with our Beagle. She does not pee in the crate.
Is there something in our bed that is a trigger or what? Frankly, I am tired of washing all bedding, mattress pad, including a new quilt. Could this be a behavior thing or what?
The only other thing she has peed on was when I bought a brand new dog bed. The first thing she did was pee in it and she was "not" asleep. It was a very soft and cushy dog bed.
Please. I need some suggestions.

Your decision solves the bed wetting by keeping your pet off the bed; however, for buy man's best friend, you could buy doggie diapers to wear if you want a furry companion sharing the bed to prevent future mishaps and put the pet on its own blanket and place a leak proof pad underneath.
This is a bit of a conundrum. I think in time you may figure out what is going on here. I am glad you found a way to handle it on a day to day basis. My cat has several neurological problems and when he sleeps deeply he has mini seizures and urinates. But he has epilepsy and is treated for it and the urination is just an occasional happening.
