The cat is peeing everywhere because of the new dog. Its trying to mark its territory and tell the dog who is boss around the house. When the cat smells the dog on something it will pee so that its smell is the dominant smell.
When you got the new dog it would have been a good idea to lock your dog in 1 room in your house, and your cat in another room, allowing 1 out at a time so that they could get used to the smell of each other - you need to introduce them slowly to each other, especially as the cat is only 8. That is senior age for a cat, but if it was a couple of years older it probably would have taken to a new dog easier.
I wouldn't get rid of the cat if I was you, but when it does spray, clean the area throughly and make sure the cat knows its not to do that. The cat just wants to mark its territory and it feels threatened by the new animal, so make sure you spend time with it.
If your going to spray him with a water bottle, add a little bit of lemon juice to the water. It won't hurt him and they tend to dislike it more than just water - when I used to spray my cat with the water bottle she would open her mouth and drink it so we had to use lemon to stop her doing that.
sobriety, if your cat doesn't like sharing a litter box with out cats, try getting a new litter box. Some people with multiple cats find that you need to have 1 litter box per cat +1 extra, cause some don't like sharing.

Last year my beautiful Manx cat Theodore went out for the evening and never came back. I love cats and the house didn't feel the same without one, so I picked up Lola from a rescue centre. She was very frightened and would pee all over the house. I found Cat Spraying No More� on the internet and the techniques worked almost immediately. I haven't had a problem with Lola since. Amazing!
Can't stop your cat peeing in the house? Then worry no more...

It almost sounds like he marking territory. Is he a totally indoor cat? If so you might want to consider making him an in door/outdoor cat. You can also try using a squirt bottle (water only), but you have to catch him in the act.
We had a cat who would get upset when ever we added a new pet. Her way of showing her displeasure was to pee on the stove. Burning cat pee is not a nice smell.
She would usually get over it after a couple of weeks, but we constantly had check/scrub the stove before using it.

Has he been neutured? If not, that will most likely fix the problem. He's peeing, or spraying, on stuff to mark his territory from this new animal. All boy cats that haven't been fixed do this...so try the neutering. If he's already fixed and still does it, all that I can suggest is to THOROUGHLY clean the places he last peed. You have to get the scent completely out of it, otherwise he'll continue to pee there.

Squirting him with water is one thing but don't hit him. Has he been neutered? If he hasn't, that will stop him. If he has, he's probably just jealous or afraid of the new dog. Try giving him lots of extra attention. It might help if you had the dog neutered too, especially if it's a male.
Clean everything he squirts with vinegar to get rid of the smell completely.

is your cat spayed or neutered? They're probably just marking their territory. Spay or neutering your can can help the situation. There's also sprays, or a scent thing you can plug into the wall, just go to your local pet store and ask them what they have.

get him nutered. That MIGHT help. If he's an older cat though, it may not completely stop it. Animals are territoral by nature and he wants HIS smell on everything and not the dogs.

lemons, rub them on the places where he urinated on already and the places that you don't want him ever to urinate on. They can't stand that smell.
