My dog is peeing a lot, drinking more, and having accidents. Is it a UTI?

Question

Hello, I have a male greyhound. Usually it will take him a little while to pee but lately he has been taking a very long time and going much more than normal and drinking a lot more water than usual. This morning he peed in the house overnight only 6 hours from when he peed before bed and couldn't stop after I moved him. He never has accidents so I don't know if he has a UTI or what may be wrong. He does tend to clean his private areas regularly so I don't know if bacteria went in that way. Pet's info: Dog | Greyhound | Male | neutered | 3 years and 4 months old | 90 lbs

IT does sound like a UTI, all symptoms point to it, i would recommend taking him to the vet ASAP in order to have his urine analyzed (take a fresh urine sample with you to the vet), then the vet can start an antibiotic course.
