I wouldn't be embarrased....or upset. All of those people who had such well behaved pets have probably had at least one accident...or three.
Vets and techs are used to seeing it also. They understand.
Vet trips can be pretty trying for an animal. All of the smells, sights, sounds. The dog was probably nervous.
But really, sometimes even people get nervous about going to the doctor.
Maybe if you would try to keep the dog focused on you instead of everything else, it would help tone down the stimulus. Treats, toys, etc. Keep him busy.
Start making routine trips to the vet for the sole purpose of having the techs pass out treats to your dog. Take his most favorite treats in the whole world for the techs.
That way the dog thinks "that place" is the holy grail of all good places to be.
