My senior dog is drinking a lot more water and urinating frequently. What's wrong?

[]

Answer

Increased thirst and urination in an older dog can be signs of several conditions, including kidney disease, diabetes, or even hyperthyroidism. These are common concerns in aging pets and require veterinary attention for proper diagnosis. Your vet will likely recommend blood work and a urinalysis to determine the underlying cause and formulate an appropriate treatment plan. Early detection and management can significantly improve your dog's quality of life. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
