New Puppy and pooping
I have a puggle who is approximately 3 months. It usually takes him hours to poop. For example, I fed him this morning at 6 am and still hasn't pooped. Any suggestions?

Now, is this a normal thing for him.. or is it that he just recently started to do this. Many dogs find their own "schedule"... for instance, my dog (who is a little more than a year old) eats around 8am... poops around 2pm... eats around 6pm... poops around midnight.
I'm OK with this as it works for my schedule. If it's an on-going problem, call a vet. |

One of the reasons it is easier to housebreak a young puppy is how quickly after eating they need to eliminate. As they get a little older, it takes longer. You can speed things up by walking him around or playing fetch. hold it and walk very long. I make frequent use of walking a puppy around before taking it in public places.

My 10 week old puppy is doing really well with training during the day, but he poops (sometimes twice a night) in his crate. His last meal of the day is at 6:45 and he usually poops twice before he goes to bed at 11:00. We get up at 3 am to take him out and he has usually gone by then. He has...
