My dog drips urine after peeing when excited. Is it a health issue?

Hey! Teddy is 1 year old. He has a problem he keeps on dropping urine drops even after he had fully peed. Especially at times when he is excited or confused. Is that some sort of sickness or disease? And how can i help him?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It sounds like Teddy isn't fully emptying his bladder when he pees. I would encourage him to go again after he urinates to make sure he is fully expressed. Also, make sure the hair at the tip of the prepuce is short. Sometimes urine gets stuck there and drips after they pee. Kisses to Teddy!
