Canine urinary incontinence is not uncommon in older dogs, and your vet has some suggestions on how to manage it. That's the best way to approach the issue, and a veterinarian went to school for a long time to learn stuff like this.
It is important to note that there are a number of possible causes for your dog's behavior, and urinary tract infection is probably a list topper. That's why the visit to the vet is important.
Has your dog been drinking more water than usual? Could this be triggered by medications the animal is taking? Or other pathology? There are several more factors that might lead to this behavior, and if a dog is getting up in years, it may "forget" the training it has had regarding going out to pee.
In addition to what we've covered, we should also note that urinary "parts" will "wear out" over time, and the urinary sphincter (a muscle) can become weak in older dogs, particularly the girl ones. There may be a neurological cause, and you can see that things could become complex trying to diagnose a dog's medical condition from a chair in front of your computer.
Hormone imbalance and even some cardiologic issues can affect urinary control in dogs. Consider that you've done your homework, and report to the clinic with your pooch to get the opinion of an expert. S/he is worth every dime, really.
