Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | neutered | 1 year and 4 months old | 60 lbs
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.
