Had the same thing happen to my older dog but it turns out that mine had stones blocking the opening. The stones, as it turns out, were formed because of the type of dog food we were feeding at the time. SHe had to have surgery to remove a couple of the stones but she bounced back quickly! We used to feed purina and the vet scolded us and told us not to use it. Haven't had the problem since. Hope the pup gets some relief.

Our cats get that a couple of times a year. Bladder infection. Not a huge deal but painful to watch. Amoxicillin will knock that out pretty quickly.

I have her on Nature's Recipe, which I have read is very good for dogs. I'm switching her (over the next week - haven't started yet) to Royal Canin, as I have read that it is even better.
The joys of having a puppy ...

Is there a known cause or "shite just happens?"
In humans, women have a very short urethra, and bacteria don't have very far to travel to get into the bladder. For (many) bacteria, a pool of urine inside of a bladder is a fantastic place to live. Women get bladder infections (UTIs) from things as simple as not urinating after sex (depending on resident vaginal bacteria present) and wiping back to front.
I would assume that a young female dog's urethra is similarly short, and that they aren't the most hygienic creatures in the world.

You never told us the prognosis. I am assuming it did just turn out to be a bladder infection, right?

Sometimes it can be food related but you stated changing her food so this might be something to keep an eye on.
This is not that good of a dog food. Sure it will make a turd, but there is far better out there for a better price. Most Royal Canin first ingredient is a cereal rice by product. Grains are not good in dogs, tho most breeds will tolerate it just fine. Kinda like humans and corn. You want a meat for the first ingredient if at all possible.
The food she is currently on is much better than the one you want to switch to for what its worth. Dog Food Advisor

Sounds like a bladder stone. Our small dog had one a few years back and had the exact same symptoms.
The stone takes up room in the bladder which causes the frequent urination.
Our vet gave us two options of surgery to remove the stone or give her a special, medicated food that would shrink the stone until it was gone. We chose the food option.

Woah.
Interesting. I have been using Royal Canin because when I first conducted research a few years ago, they were ranked one of the best on every website I looked on. They were said to be one of the only brands that continuously tweaks the recipe based on research.
Due to how insanely expensive it is, you have me digging deep into this site now.

Probably a UTI. Take her to the vet and get meds.

Bladder infection?
Sometimes happens to my dog. I give him a few fresh cranberries and it goes away.

My dog had bladder cancer.
She is 11 though.
I would imagine with such a young dog its a UTI.

This is a load of crap.
Dog food advisor is a human dentist - sorry if I'm not jumping to take the advice of that guy.
People humanize their dogs and because people are on this gluten free/carb free kick lately they project this onto their dogs. I've been asking people for proof of this for years and have yet to be presented a paper from a peer reviewed journal that backs up the claim that grains are not good in dogs. Show me the paper!
ETA: There actually are journal articles where the researchers were able to demonstrate that dogs can and do properly digest various carbohydrates.

Our small dog had a bladder stone about 2 years ago that caused his urine to have blood in it. The stone had to be surgically removed and he has to eat a special diet now. The only store bought food he could eat after this was Science Diet for his specific condition. After researching what's in Science Diet we just started making his food with ingredients low in oxilates. Never been healthier..
I wouldnt think a 3 month old pup would have a stone though.

I was under the same impression as you when I first started looking at foods for my bulldog. They can have a myriad of skin issues (along with other health complications) as everyone knows but seems most are caused or can be controlled with the foods they eat. Royal was one of the first I looked into and the more I kept digging, the more brands I found to be far better in quality of ingredients, proteins, and fillers.

She's at the vet right now. I ended up having to leave her as they could not obtain a urine sample while we were there. Going to pump her with plenty of liquids and wait. They're confident they'll get a good sample to accurately diagnose what is going on.

All the reviews that I have read on Amazon and Chewy seem to indicate it is a very good dog food. Plus every time I go to a Vet clinic, whether in New Orleans or Baton Rouge, Royal Canin is prominent. Surely it has to be better than that Science Diet crap, right?
Going to read more ...

What is the prognosis? Leave her be due to her age?
