Pet Drinking Too Much Water: Food & Toxicity Causes

Polydipsia (excessive thirst) and polyuria (excessive urination) together can signal kidney distress — a hallmark of grape, raisin, or lily toxicity.

Severity: moderate

If you noticed grapes, raisins, or lilies were eaten and your pet is drinking more than usual within 24 hours — go to the vet.

Understanding increased thirst & urination

Some food toxins damage the kidneys before clinical signs of failure appear. Increased thirst is often the first warning.

Don't restrict water. Note volumes if possible to share with the vet.
