Why is my 6-week-old puppy peeing constantly and dripping clear urine?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | 1 month and 12 days old | 4.7 lbs

I have a six week old French Bulldog/Border Collie mix. He’s playful, eats great, I fed him the replacement formula and canned puppy food. My problem is he pees every few minutes, larger pees outdoors after he eats but comes back in, within minutes pees again. Drips, spot pees every few minutes. His pee is perfectly clear, not even Yellow. He’s perfect except for this. I’ve been told hell out Grow this, If so when, if not what should we do?

No, this is concerning, especially if Charlie is dripping urine or it isn't concentrating at all (completely clear), since he's not able to hold it more than a few minutes, and should be able to hold it 15-60 minutes when not eating/drinking/playing, etc, (Some puppies will pee twice and need extra time outside after their larger potty, but shouldn't be dripping or continuing to dribble urine after). I would schedule a vet visit to rule out any issues such as a functional bladder problem, diabetes, etc that could cause this. Until you can get to the vet, tracking times he goes potty (after waking, eating, play is usually normal, just hanging out is not), and how much volume/consistency is present may help your vet figure out what is going on.
