Why is my dog peeing so much on walks, even without drinking more?

Question

Last night on our regular walk my dog Peed 8 times. She typically pees once during that walk. This morning we went on a longer walk and it was the same behavior of lots of peeing. Historically, even during a long walk, she would typically only pee once. She has not been drinking more liquid, in fact she never drinks much at all. I make her dog food and include supplements and Omega oil’s. Yesterday I poured the remainder of the Omega oil on her food. Could that be the cause?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I do not think the omegas have anything to do with the urinating. My first concern with going that much would be a urinary tract infection. Kidney disease and diabetes can also cause increased urination. There may have been a recent dog walking the same path and Birdie may have been marking. Without seeing her it’s hard to say. To be sure I recommend taking Birdie to a vet for an exam and to test her urine for problems. You could also continue to monitor her. If she continues to urinate frequently at home, you notice a change in her appetite, drinking habits, or lethargy then I would see a vet. Good luck and kisses to Birdie!
