Eukanaba IS a store brand. Hills Science Diet works the best.

is it unusual for a male dog to urinate while walking? Manu does this
sometimes, in the house, and he doesn't even seem to notice it. could
this
be a health problem?
IMHO, yes. I've had two dogs in class (males) who did this. One was
neutered
quite a while ago and just started doing it, so I sent her to her vet to
check
for a UTI. The other one was doing it from the time he was adopted, and
the
vet said it was behavioral, not medical. I disagreed. She went back to
her
vet. Seems he began it right after neutering. Occasionally this will
happen,
and there are meds that control it. The vet changed his mind and put him
on
the meds, and there is no more "leaking."
I also had an adult female who started submissive urination for no
apparent
reason. The vet could find nothing wrong with her. I asked a bazillion
questions, and found out that the owner had changed her diet. (From
Eukanuba
to a store brand.) I told her to switch back, that there may be something
in
the new food that's irritating her bladder. Two weeks after being back on
the
Eukanuba, she stopped.
