Blood in urine is never good. I would take her to a vet.
With blood in the urine there are three likely sources -- from the bladder, from the kidneys and from a clotting disorder leading to generalized bleeding tendencies. Occasionally there is a problem in the urethra or vaginal areas of female dogs leading to blood in the urine but this is less common that the above problems. Bleeding from the bladder usually occurs because of cystitis (bladder infection), bladder stones or bladder cancer. Bleeding from the kidneys can also be due to kidney infection, kidney stones or cancer affecting the kidney. In addition, traumatic injuries may lead to bleeding from the kidneys
I hope nothing is wrong but I wanted you to know this. So yes I would have her checked by a vet.
