Excessive puppy urination and thirst

[Craftlady]

At least for labs their bladders cant hold past 4 hours until they are 6 months old. I used the puppy pads when we first got Coco (beagle/lab mix) at 7 weeks old. It was within a month that I started taking him outside on a schedule to pee. He hasnt had very many accidents in the house. I can pretty much predict after playing, eating, if he is in crate for extended period of time (over 2 hrs) he will have to potty. He potty's at 11 p.m. off to bed, like clock work up at 3-4 a.m. to potty and eat. One time he slept from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. dang, I ran into the living room where his crate is to make sure he was still breathing. I think the 4 felines roaming around at night wake/stir him up in the middle of the night. It's their refenge. LOL I think Stephen is the ring leader because the others are usually sleeping on our bed with us.
