Why is my Yorkie peeing so much with a strong odor? UTI symptoms?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My yorkie has been urinating a lot and it has an odour. She can pee on her pad and maybe 10-20 minutes later she'll go back to her pad and pee a lot. Could it be a UTI? I know because she's a teacup she may have a smaller bladder but something tells me it's a UTI.

Hello! Yes, it is quite possibly a UTI. Or, she may have bladder stones. It would be a great idea to take her into to see a vet. She may need a urinalysis run, possibly some X-rays, or some antibiotics.
