Why is my dog peeing pink drops, especially after eating pig ears?

Question

Today we woke up to find tiny drops of pinkish urine on the floor around the house. This has happened 3 times now over the last 6 months. He has no obvious pain or problems when urinating. He isn’t licking or acting different at all. We are wondering what could be causing this. We have noticed it only happens when he give him pigs ears (we bake them ourselves), but we’ve been giving them to him occasionally since he was a puppy and weve never had this problem before. What could be the cause? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | unneutered | 7 years and 4 months old | 65 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The urinary tract symptoms you describe could be due to a urinary tract infection, urinary stones, a tumor, among other possibilities. I recommend that you have Mater evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further diagnostics would include abdominal imaging and lab work. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a great day!
