Sudden frequent urination in dogs may be caused by increased water intake, heat, urinary system diseases, etc. First, if your dog has also been drinking more water recently, it may be due to increased water intake, which is causing an increase in urine output. Secondly, if the dog is an adult, it will urinate frequently, howl, etc. when it is in heat. Finally, if the cat’s water intake is normal but suddenly urinates frequently, then the main consideration is urinary system diseases, such as urethritis, cystitis, bladder stones, etc., and it is necessary to go to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time.

Therefore, owners can think back to see if the food they have given their dogs recently is too salty, too dry, or the weather is too hot, the amount of exercise has increased, etc., which will cause the dog to drink a lot of water in a short period of time. If there is a reason for this, the owner should pay attention to adjusting the dog's diet in a timely manner and arrange its amount of exercise reasonably. After timely adjustment, it will slowly slow down.

3. Suffering from urinary system diseases

If the dog not only urinates frequently, but also has pain reactions, or has little or no urine, then you should consider the possibility.
