Are you sure that they are drinking too much water?
Frankly, I’d be more concerned if they weren’t drinking enough water.
You can call the 1-800 number on the dog food bag and ask them for the sodium amounts.
I doubt the food is above the recommended amounts, dogs do need some sodium.

Otherwise, you are just reading opinions. There are no veterinarians affiliated with this site (DFA).

If you are really concerned, call your vet, he may suggest obtaining a urine sample.
If you can’t get it, the vet can strait cath the pup, only takes a second.

PS: If they are only eating dry food, be glad they are drinking the water, they need it.
