    I always say this needs to be checked out by your vet especially in an older dog. Excessive urination and drinking of water can be signs of a couple of things such as Diabetes or Kidney disease in which they will drink a lot of water. Your vet will most likely start with an exam and run a blood panel usually there in the clinic so they will have the results for you .Good luck
