My dog suddenly peed a lot. Is excessive urination a health concern?

Question

Hi. Last night my dog suddenly had to go out to pee very badly. So much so that he was whining (not the norm). I took him out & he peed the longest pee he's ever done (that I've witnessed). He was fine after. Today, my dog walker commented on his report card "Cruz peed the longest pee in the world!". Otherwise everything is normal...is there something that may cause this/that I should be concerned about? Thanks! Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | 6 years and 2 months old

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.
