My 6 months old golden retriever female puppy pees a lot. Is it normal? Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Female | 26 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Puppies do urinate more frequently than adults. If this is a change in urination than it is not normal. If she is having small frequent accidents in the house and going frequently outside with straining and small amount that is not normal. If it is larger amounts in the house if could be a lapse in house training. If the above applies of increased frequency, urgency and straining Gracy may have a UTI. I recommend having her seen by your Vet and bringing a urine sample to have it checked for bacteria. We treat UTIs with antibiotics. I hope this helps and I wish Gracy a speedy recovery!

I'm glad to hear that Irati still seems comfortable, but urinating 4 times in just one hour is very frequent. It may have been that she drank a lot of water after playing, but it could also be an early sign of a urinary tract infection. Monitor Irati closely for ongoing frequent urination, straining to urinate or drinking more, as all could be a sign of infection. If you are still noticing these changes, she should be taken to her vet for an exam and urinalysis. If this was a one time occurrence, there is likely less cause for concern. I hope that all goes well!
