Why is my 10-year-old poodle mix drinking and peeing so much?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 10 lbs

My minature poodle mix has been drinking quite a bit lately. She been on the same food for years now. Her age is estimated to be about 10 now. Nothing new with her diet. Shes been having to go potty more also but I think its from all the water intake.

At her age, Lovie should be examined by your veterinarian. Her symptoms may indicate kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes or endocrine disease. Your vet can submit blood and urine samples to assess major organ function. Once the underlying cause is diagnosed, the appropriate treatment can be administered.
