7 possible causes of frequent urination in puppies and what you can do about it

I don’t know anything about you, but I bet you’re worried about seeing your pup urinate frequently. Perhaps your puppy has been urinating in inappropriate areas or has been constantly urinating. There are many possible causes why a puppy frequently urinates small amounts and it is important to get to the root of it to keep him healthy. Here are 7 possible causes of your puppy’s frequent urination and what you can do about it.

1. A puppy who frequently urinates a small amount of urine may have a hormonal imbalance. Hormonal imbalances alter the pH of the urine, which makes it easier for bacteria to grow.

2. Your puppy who urinates small amounts frequently may have a bladder infection caused by bacteria. Bacteria irritate the bladder wall and cause a constant urge to urinate.

3. Bladder stones can cause your puppy to urinate frequently in small amounts. Stones in the bladder form when minerals in urine turn into solid objects. It occurs most easily when the pH of the urine is too high or too low. Stones in the bladder are also very painful. A good way to prevent them is by administering a homeopathic remedy that promotes a healthy urine flow and flushes out toxins.

4. A condition called psychogenic polydipsia can cause your puppy to obsessively drink water and urinate excessively. This condition is not serious and does not need treatment.

5. Urinary incontinence resulting from a birth defect may be the cause of your puppy urinating small amounts frequently. This is a common problem for Huskies in particular and surgery is usually necessary.

6. A puppy that urinates frequently in small amounts may have behavior problems that need to be addressed. Your puppy may urinate frequently because he is territorial or because he urinates when he is excited, happy, or scared. For dogs that have the latter problem, put them in a diaper to prevent them from getting dirty. Keep territorial dogs away from windows if possible so they won’t see other dogs or passersby.

7. A serious illness can be the cause of your puppy urinating small amounts frequently. Kidney failure, diabetes, liver disease, and abnormalities of the pituitary gland are all possible causes of frequent urination in small amounts.

As you can see, there are a host of factors that could be causing your pup to pee frequently in small amounts. The first step in solving this problem is to go to the vet and have tests to discover the cause. Sometimes the cause can be quite serious and must be treated with medication or corrected with surgery. In most cases, lifestyle change and homeopathic treatment will work. Your best bet is to focus on preventative treatment rather than just taking action when you notice that your pup is urinating small amounts frequently.

Make sure your dog has enough fresh, filtered water to drink and gets plenty of exercise. Take him on frequent walks so he has plenty of opportunities to empty his bladder. Feed him only raw, unprocessed, or home-cooked food and give him a homeopathic treatment on a regular basis. Homeopathic treatments prevent and treat infections by maintaining a healthy bladder, healthy urine flow, and a strong immune system. Make no mistake about it. These simple lifestyle changes will keep your dog healthy and full of vitality, whatever the cause of the infections.
