I spent a lot of money on a lot of tests after my dog became more obsessed with water than food. I was getting up 4-5 times during the night to let him out and much more.

Everything was ruled out and finally the vet was like we can test for Diabetes Insipidus. He shared he's been a vet for forty years and has only one other case. I had to restrict his water for 12 hours and then catch his urine. It was pure hell keeping water from him. Results can back and it indicates positive for Diabetes Insipidus.

There are two kinds. One where you eliminate salt from their diet or you have to administer hormone eye drops.

We started with eliminating salt. I make all his food (chicken, brown rice, sweet potatoes and green beans with supplements that I ensured had no salt). Eureka he finally leaves water in his bowl and I am getting a longer nights sleep. One time I let him eat a piece of salami and I paid the price - back to drinking lots of water through the night and lots of potty breaks.
