He is 13 weeks now, 26 lbs. and about 9 cups of water. Does that sound like to much to you? He is a leonberger.
Anyone experience this?
That sounds like a lot to me. And also the frequency of pee is not right - that may have something to do with the amount of water he is drinking, not that something is wrong with the pee.

There is a thing called diabetes insipidous (sp?) where they need to drink continuously because they are missing a hormone. I might first try some dietary changes - what are you feeding?

Whatever this is, I would pursue a "fix", since it's not normal.
