is it normal for a diabetic dog to be so thirsty all the time?

This excessive water drinking is what clued us in when one of our dogs developed diabetes.

From what you describe, your dog's diabetes is not properly regulated, you may need to increase his insulin dose.

Call your vet, sounds as if the diabetes is not properly controlled.

Our dog stopped drinking excessively once his dose of insulin was at the right level. We had to adjust the dose several times, it is not static.

Call your vet.
