Is this normal colored pee? And is it normal for dogs pee color to change from light yellow to slightly more yellow-ish? (I’d like to point out that he’s drinking as normal and acting like himself, just curious if this is what it is supposed to look like!)

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Charlie. It is normal for urine color to change throughout the day. The first sample in the morning tends to be the most concentrated (darker yellow in color). Then as the dog eats and drinks during the day, the color tends to lighten up. The picture you attached appears normal, but the dirt does make it hard to assess. If you have concerns, then I recommend taking a sample to his veterinarian for a urinalysis. I hope this information helps!
