My Maltese has orange pee. Should I be worried about her health?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Maltese | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 6 months old | 4 lbs

Is it bad that my Maltese has a little orange ish pee? Usually it's normally yellow and I checked it minutes ago and it's kind of orange. I'm hoping it's nothing to be concerned about. Thank you a lot for your continuous help and advice. You people helped me a great deal with the care for my little pooch.

It should just mean that her urine is a little more concentrated that it would normally be, or it could mean she has eaten something different from what she normally has . In abscence of other clinical signs, I don' to think there is anything to worry about. You can encourage her to drink more, by adding a bit of water to her food if you wish to.
