My Dog pees every 10 mins

Question
I have a almost 8 month old and a 2 year old beagle the 2 year old pees 3 times a day like clock work, my puppy pees every 10 mins does he have a bladder problem or is it something else? Can you help me please?!

Answer
No dog should have to urinate every ten minutes.  It's possible the dog has a physical problem (urinary tract infection, inflamed prostate, kidney disease, etc.)  You may also be overstating what you're seeing (it may just SEEM like every ten minutes!)  Reinforce house training, give the dog a fair number of outings for fifteen minutes per outing, reward with food/praise when he eliminates outdoors; and take him to the veterinarian for blood chemistry, urinalysis and physical evaluation. PS: also have him neutered.
