How much should a puppy drink?

[Irishcobs]

Puppy is 9 1/2 weeks old, weighs 2kg and is a Bedlington whippet x saluki greyhound. She has free access to water as old dog has it.
She drinks a lot so pees a lot.
Is too much a bad thing? Should we limit her intake?

Don't limit intake except perhaps overnight.
If she is on dry food expect her to consume an equal volume of water ( to food volume) on top of the water she would otherwise need.
Peeing every hour is normal at that age.

Interestingly our pup was 8 weeks when we collected him and I was amazed by how much he drank. We swapped him onto raw food from kibble after about a week to settle in and get first jab done etc, and his water intake has reduced dramatically! He still wees a fair bit but goes 7 hours overnight accident free now.

Should of put in OP she is on pouch food and her biscuits are soaked as well.
So I guess she will learn how much water she actually needs as she gets older?
We've not had one this young before but none of the others drank as much as her.

ETA she pees probably 3-4 times an hour but sleeps for 1-2 hours at a time so I guess this isn't too excessive?

Likely drinking/peeing as much as nature intended but if you feel it really is excessive see a vet re diabetes.
