If the dog is constantly lapping water all the time, it could be a nervous habit, as licking releases pheromones for dogs. It could also be diabetes.

Thirsty dogs are a normal thing. Just like some humans that like to drink a lot of water, the same goes for animals. But if you are concerned you can take him to the vet.

If your dog does a lot of exercise, this may be normal. If your dog is indoors and doesn't do exercise or gets sick from all the water,see a vet.
