What’s the matter with dogs peeing too much? Come and see what kind of reason your dog has

When walking dogs, we know that dogs will frequently leave their urine on tree roots, stone mounds and other places. This is a way for them to mark their scent. It is normal. However, when dogs also urinate frequently at home and the urine output is relatively large, then you need to pay attention. So what’s the matter with dogs peeing a lot? Is it normal for dogs to urinate a lot? Next, let’s first analyze the reasons why dogs urinate more.

1. Drinking a lot of water

If the dog's spirit and appetite are normal, but the urine simply increases, then it may be that the increase in water drinking leads to an increase in urine. For example, the weather is too hot, the food is too salty, etc. will cause dogs to drink a lot of water, which is also normal. However, owners should also pay attention when raising dogs. They should not feed dogs a large amount of salty food, especially human meals, and should pay attention to a light diet.

2. Imperfect development of the urinary center

If the dog is relatively young, excessive urination may also be caused by the imperfect development of the urinary center. This situation is more common in dogs aged 3-4 months. Owners don’t need to worry too much about this situation. The situation will improve as the dog grows up, but attention should be paid to developing the dog’s habit of urinating at fixed points.

3. Urinary system diseases

If the dog drinks less water every day and urinates a lot, it is also accompanied by poor mental status, loss of appetite, difficulty urinating, painful urination, and frequent licking of the urethral opening, etc., then it may be suffering from urinary system diseases, such as bladder stones, urethritis, nephritis, cystitis, etc. At this time, it is recommended that the owner take the dog to the pet hospital for examination in time, so that the pet doctor can treat it according to the cause of the disease.

4. In Estrus

If a dog is in estrus, it may also urinate a lot. The main reason is to leave a scent through peeing, so as to attract other dogs of the opposite sex and claim territory. At the same time, when dogs are in heat, they may also experience symptoms such as being irritable and restless, barking in the middle of the night, male dogs will urinate everywhere, and female dogs will have bloody secretions from their vaginas. If the owner has the idea of ​​​​breeding the dog, he can wait 3-5 days after the dog is in estrus before breeding. If the owner has no idea of ​​breeding the dog, it is recommended to take the dog to the pet hospital for sterilization or castration as soon as possible.

5. Diabetes

For older dogs, excessive urination may also be a sign of diabetes. Dogs suffering from diabetes will drink more, urinate more, eat more, and lose weight. It is recommended that owners take their dogs to the hospital to check the urine sugar content immediately once they notice the above symptoms in their dogs, and take corresponding measures for treatment after diagnosis.
