You may want to take a urine sample to the vet to test for a urinary tract
infection.

sorry for the x-post, but i'm not sure if this issue is behavioral or
medical.

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? he did this when we first got him, and had finally
stopped for a couple of months (i thought due to training), but has
started
again in the last few days. i'm kind of at a loss, as he asks to go out
when he needs to, and i thought he was housebroken. he doesn't lift a
leg
when doing it, so it doesn't seem like typical marking. sometimes he
will
walk the length of the hallway, just meandering along, as though he
doesn't
even know he's leaving a trail behind him.

he's a 14 month old, neutered pit bull/lab mix, and became the second dog
in
our household about six months ago.

any suggestions?

Then shame on the RSPCA, because Hill's SD is CRAP food. One look at the
ingredients will tell you that.

We were shown a video on Hill's new line (they must have paid up the nose to
get it shown to every employee). The video saleslady talked about how
nutritious and digestible ground corn is. Yea, right.

Just about every food has corn gluten meal somewhere in the ingredients, but
just about any food with ground yellow corn as the first ingredient is mostly
filler. Only partially digestible - most of it comes back out.

SD has its great reputation because they're brilliant at marketing. That's
about it.
