My dog pees frequently outside. Should I be worried about her health?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 12 days old

When I take her out she pees 2 to 3 times within minutes of each other is that a concern

Hello, and thanks for your question. If Bell is only doing this behavior when she goes outside to urinate, then it is likely normal marking behavior. However, if it's a change and she's asking to go outside more frequently than usual, or having accidents in the house soon after urinating outside, then that may be a symptom of a urinary tract infection and should see the vet.

Hope this helps!
