Increased thirst (polydipsia) and frequent urination (polyuria) can be symptoms of several common health conditions in dogs. These include kidney disease, diabetes, Cushing's disease, or even certain infections. It's important to accurately monitor the amount of water your dog is drinking and how often they're urinating. Early detection of these conditions can significantly impact the effectiveness of treatment. A physical examination, blood tests, and urine tests by your veterinarian will be necessary to identify the cause. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
