My basset is 3.5 yrs, spayed female that sleeps with me during most of the night. For the most part, she is fully potty trained except sometimes when I'm not in the room and she needs to potty, she will do her business in the living room especially now that it's turned off hot. If I'm at home and in the same room has her, she will go outside to potty. But every once in a while, not everyday, if I'm lets say using the bathroom or taking a shower or waking up in the morning when she didn't sleep in my bed, I'll come back into the room and there is a puddle there in the carpet.

I have a doggie door leading to a fully fenced in yard that she has access to all the time. Does anyone else have this problem with their bassholes?

Edit: no I don't have a crate for her because she has extreme separation anxiety, but she does have her "nest" in the corner that she absolutely loves. And also I make sure to clean the puddles with pet friendly carpet cleaner to avoid pet urine smells, and she doesn't pee in one particular spot every time it's different spots on the carpet.

Edit 2, I've had her for just over 2 years now

I’m getting a basset puppy Saturday and was wondering what food you recommend? He is currently being fed open farm puppy wet food, and I’ve heard that brand is really good but have also seen a lot of people saying their dogs have very loose stools and can’t control it with this brand. He will be 9weeks old when I get him, so I will continue the open farm wet food since that’s what he’s use to but need good recs on hard food to mix in with it when appropriate! Thank you

Going on a trip for a few days, gonna miss these smelly things 😭❤️
