Why is my 11-month-old dog peeing often and waking me at night?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Male | neutered | 11 months and 6 days old | 15 lbs

My don’t g has been peeing quite frequently lately and he is 11 months old. He only makes it a few hours at night and gets me up a couple of times at night to go out. His pee is light colored. It is almost like he’s back to when we first got him and had to train him.

Hi there, It sounds like Hunter may have a urinary tract infection. These infections occur commonly and cause a large degree of inflammation in the bladder, which then causes discomfort and frequent urination. I would collect some urine in a clean tubber ware and take the fresh sample and Hunter to your vet. They can test the urine and find out what's happening. If he has an infection, they can prescribe medication to clear the infection. Best wishes to you and Hunter. Thanks for using Pet Coach.
