We have the same problem with our 15 year old german shepherd. Older dogs can't control their bladder as well as a younger dog. Belly bands are awesome. We got them from Amazon. I think it was 3 for $20. The bands can hold a lot of pee, even overnight. Just make sure after you wash them, they are completely dry before using again. I recommend turning them inside out to dry.
Donna... I am a st Anna client....instead of putting him down...have you tried belly bands for male dogs. They are a wrap that you put a pee pad in such as poise...he wears the garment in the home...remove it when he goes outside...all my dogs wear these in the house...look up belly bands for dogs..
