Question
This question isnt about any disease. I hope that it is a just a general question that you can answer quickly. I have 2 boxers (2 year old and almost 1 year old) they both have been waking up between 3:00am and 5:00am every morning and wanting to be let out. I have been letting them out because otherwise they dont stop bugging me- but its tiring me out. Any suggestions on how to get them to stop this?
I would suggest to pick up their water about 7PM and take them out to pee several times before you go to bed. If they have to go out during the night, it may be to pee. Otherwise, you might use a tranquilizer or Benadryl at night. Ask your vet for a mild sedative for this problem.
