Now, that you said he has been to the vet, and he's in good health, I would say(again), that it is common for dogs to have these problems as they get older..I have lived long enough to have seen over 3 dogs live to be between 18 and 20..Mine started having problems around the age of 16 (my retriever) of not having control over her bladder, and my mom has had one live to be 20(a chihuahua, that also started having problems with the frequent wetting...as she did her last dog, he was 15 and started having them right around the time he was 14. Hers even peed in the belly band, but, it was better than the floor..
