Redditor Didn't Allow His SIL To Visit Their New Home With An Unhealthy Dog
Dog owners know that if they want their dogs to be happy and content, the main factor to make it is not only to give them warm home and food, they need their humans' presence and to feel the same way too. That's that unconditional love that all dog owners can brag about.

When doggos feel the affection of their owners, these four-legged buddies will do anything for their families to show them the same. Additionally, they always go above and beyond to make their owners happy.
Once a dog develops a tight bond with a caring owner, their devotion becomes unshakeable, and they will stick by the owner's side no matter what. But that's exactly what dog owners should do, too.
If your dog needs you, you cannot turn your back on him and leave him alone. And that often means that you have to waive some things or social happenings where you can't go with your dog.
In a similar situation found himself a Reddit user and wanted to know if his reaction was too harsh. His SIL wanted to visit them with her dog so he wouldn't be home alone while her parents were away.
But the problem is that dog has urethral incontinence, and since they recently moved into a new house, he told her not to bring him with her. It was only for one night, but he still wonders if he should have allowed her to visit with the dog despite his health issues.
Original post:
"I told her she could not bring it"
This can be an option:
Someone else also agreed:
"It's a bad idea to bring an old and infirm animal to a new house anyway."
"I've had a dog that lost control of his bladder towards the end and I would have never expected someone else to be okay that in their own home"
"It would be better if your gf stays with her at their parent's place."
The involuntary flow of urine is known as incontinence. Therefore, if your dog is incontinent, it implies that they aren't even conscious of urinating.
This incontinence frequently happens when pets are relaxing (for example, in their bed or on the couch), and the volume of urine that leaks is typically normal or substantial. There are numerous reasons why dogs become incontinent:
-Infection of the urinary tract
-Uroliths
-Excessive water consumption (which can be caused by diabetes mellitus, Cushing's disease, hyperadrenocorticism, diabetes insipidus, and renal failure)
-Injury or disease of the spinal cord (inflammation, trauma, pain, vertebral abnormality, paralysis, cancer)
-Ectopic ureters and other structural flaws
-A weak bladder sphincter.
These were the right questions, unfortunately, the OP didn't respond.
All in all, the other Redditors supported his decision to tell SIL not to bring the dog with him to their new home. In other circumstances, it wouldn't be the problem, but the dog's medical condition is not the best, so it could affect him also.
But what do you think regarding this whole not-so-pleasant situation?
