Why is my puppy peeing so much clear urine and drinking lots of water?

Pet's info: Dog | Husky | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 26 days old | 26 lbs

My 12 week old puppy is doing great with potty training, however the last week he has been going pee alot at one time. He some hope started in the kitchen with a huge pile, ran through the living room, with a huge stream, and all the way down the hallway.... I didn't think he could hold in that much pee.. it's very clear. I'm just weird there's something wrong.. he drinks a ton of water, and I don't know if something is wrong.

It's normal for puppies to have very clear, dilute urine because their kidneys are still developing. They can also get urinary tract infections and other issues as well. I would recommend scheduling a vet visit (or telling them you want to talk about this issue when you schedule his next vaccine appointment) and using a small tuberware to catch his first urination of the morning to bring to that appointment. They can check to see how concentrated his urine is. Keep the urine in the fridge if it's going to be more than 30-60 minutes until your appointment. Good luck!
