Puppy Polyuria

image We just got a Lab puppy about a month ago, he is about 16 weeks old and he is urinating rather often. We take him outside and almost immediately he has to go outside again. Is this behavior typical of puppies, or could there be something more serious wrong with him? Thank you for your help.
image Frequent urination is not uncommon for puppies. Be thankful he makes it outside to perform his duties! If he seems to strain to urinate, lick his urethra often, have a strange odor to the urine, or you see blood in the urine, then you should mention this to your veterinarian on one of his puppy check-ups. In warm weather, a dog drinks more water to keep cool, and urinates more often.
