 Excessive drinking obviously leads to increase in urination and it is good some how as it washes the urinary tract but as excess of everything is bad so this excessive drinking sometimes indicates different problems like:

Cushing's disease
Diabetes Mellitus
Hyperthyroidism
Urinary tract infection
Diabetes Insipidus
Pyometra
Due to medicines like Prednisone

Normal intake of water of dogs should be 30ml per pound every 24 hours. If your dog's intake of water is more than this limit then call a vet immediately.
