This is the same frustrating issue I'm having with Gus.

Was Bella tested for a Urinary Tract Infection? If she has a UTI, she will pee a lot, get dehydrated, and drink lots of water.The cycle repeats frequently.

After several months, and no solution, I'm assuming Gus' problem is diet related. Long term, I was feeding him Science Diet - Nature's Best for pups. I'm transitioning him to Wellness for Small Breeds. I noticed that certain chew toys, like Bully Sticks, rawhide bones, & real bones, make him very thirty. He also finds natural chew toys outside like wood chips. In the last month, I've seen enough improvement to continue with the dietary cause.
