I would recommend bringing Boots to the veterinarian to have blood work performed on him. Dogs can develop multiple different endocrine disorders that can make them drink more (ie. Diabetes, etc). After blood work and urinalysis your veterinarian can see what treatment is needed. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
