My dog is peeing a lot indoors. Is it a UTI or something else?

Pet's info: Dog | Australian Shepherd | Male | neutered | 2 years old | 50 lbs

My dog’s a 2 yr old Aussie, previously healthy, housebroken. He went outside today at our new home, (on a trolley), went into some tall grass and I observed him eating a plant leaf. Not sure if that’s relevant - but in the last 3 or so hrs since, he has been peed copious amounts on the floor 3x. Pale yellow, normal looking. He was out in between accidents. Last time was 30 mins ago I was gently brushing him and he peed on my foot. UTI or plant or other cause? No other symptoms seen. Thanks.

Poor Matisse! It would depend on the type of plant he ate, but I would suspect more that a UTI is the cause his excess peeing. I would call the vet in the morning to make an appointment. The vet can diagnose what is causing the excess peeing, and can treat him for it. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
