We've noticed that our dog drinks constantly, and continues to pee constantly. He's a year and 3 months old. His pee is clear almost constantly as well. He also loves to lick anyone that is super sweaty as well. Thoughts?

He will pee constantly if he’s drinking that much. He may also be losing sodium in the urine causing him to want to lick sweaty people to get additional salt. That much drinking and urine are not normal and could be a sign of kidney disease. I recommend a veterinary exam and blood work to check his kidney function and check for diabetes which also could cause these signs. Early diagnosis of a medical problem will help get him the proper treatment if needed and could prevent progesssion of the disease.

Drinking and urinating more frequently can be a sign of a bladder or kidney infection, kidney disease, diabetes, elevations in calcium level, liver disease and some other internal medical issues. If you've recently changed Bruno's diet there's a possibility this is also occurring due to a higher sodium level in the diet. Because increased drinking can be a sign of serious illness I'd recommend taking Bruno to see your veterinarian. It's likely a blood and urine test will need to be done.
