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

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.
