If she's below 20 lbs, just follow the above formula. What's her daily activities like? For examples: Walking? Roaming in the park? Swimming? What kind of food she eats? For examples: Kibbles or Moist? What about treats? For examples: Beef jerky or fruits and vegetables? How often? Give her a little before any exercise and more after but schedule it that it isn't before bedtime otherwise you've to let her often in wee hours. Leave some after her meal and spread equal amount throughout the day. For your case, she can't have free flow of water like most dogs do. Meanwhile, have your vet checked her kidneys are functioning okay. Most probably they are okay but just for a peace of mind, have the vet do a test on her. Paula,

She is a 4month old golden retriever and if the water is there she will drink it all. Therefore she is constantly peeing. She is very well trained and rings a bell on the door to go pee. but it is very anoying to have to let her out every 15 min. I just need to know how much and how often I need to give her water?
