Dog peeing frequently after lake swim at dog park. Is it serious?

Hi, I think it is best to have Millie checked over. It is difficult to tell without examining her what could be wrong. A urine test will help, by looking at her urine concentration and if any bacteria are present. It could be a urine infection, or could she have drunk too much salty water ? A check up will reassure you that it is nothing too serious and how to move forward. I hope she gets better soon and that she continues to enjoy her walks at the beach as soon as she gets better !

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I suspect Fynn may have bladder infection. As long as he is acting normal and he does not have any problems with urination, it should be ok to wait until the morning to see your regular vet. Please, offer Fynn plenty of water to drink tonight. If you manage to catch a urine sample and take it with you to your vets in the morning, that will be of great diagnostic help.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I do not think the omegas have anything to do with the urinating. My first concern with going that much would be a urinary tract infection. Kidney disease and diabetes can also cause increased urination. There may have been a recent dog walking the same path and Birdie may have been marking. Without seeing her it’s hard to say. To be sure I recommend taking Birdie to a vet for an exam and to test her urine for problems. You could also continue to monitor her. If she continues to urinate frequently at home, you notice a change in her appetite, drinking habits, or lethargy then I would see a vet. Good luck and kisses to Birdie!

I would not get too worried over two episodes. I recommend watching his water intake and urination over the next week or so. If you notice that both remain elevated he should get checked out by a veterinarian as it could be signs of early diseases like kidney issues and Cushing's disease. Also monitor him for any blood in his urine, dribbling, or straining to urinate as it could indicate an infection or even stones.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is definitely normal for puppies to urinate more frequently than adult dogs. Every few minutes is excessive. Some puppies are just fascinated by water and drink constantly regardless of thirst. The 25 ounces is about double what Wallace needs per day, dog’s typically drink 1-2 ounces per pound. You should have him seen by a vet to rule out a UTI, kidney disease, or very rare forms of diabetes. I hope this helps and am happy to answer any other questions you have!

If you guys suspect Zoey is having kidney problems, I recommend to have her examined by the veterinarian within the next 24 hours. if kidney disease is caught early, it can often be successfully managed with a special diet. Here is a link about kidney disease with excellent information: https://www.petcoach.co/article/kidney-disease-causes-signs-diagnosis-and-treatment/ Please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Your puppy is adorable! Raisins have the potential to cause kidney failure which causes the dog to act lethargic, not eat, maybe vomit and likely drink and urinate more. If your puppy isn’t doing any of those things I doubt the raisin has anything to do with it. He may have a urinary tract infection or crystals in his urine. I recommend making an appointment with your Vet for tomorrow and bring a irons sample. I good this helps and I wish you the best!
