Question
Hello, My husband and I got an english bulldog pup a few months back and really only have one problem with him... He won't stop peeing and pooping in his crate. The crate is wire and was a little too big for him so we put a divider up to make it small enough for him to only have a place to sleep and room to put his food/water bowels down. The first few nights he did great! No pee or poop. Then he started up again. He seems to only poop a little bit but pees quite a bit. Sometimes he even "goes" in his food bowels :-( We have been taking his water away around 8pm since we got him at 8 weeks. We used to feed him 3 times a day but now it is only twice. We take him out about every hour and when he is out of the crate hanging out with us he is pretty good about going to the back door to let us know he needs to potty. Any advise to help us out? Thanks so much!  

Answer
Hi Adriana-  I would have him checked for a urinary track infection...Just to rule that out: have some basic blood work done at your vet.
NEXT, what are you feeding him...If it is full of corn and wheat that can be a problem.

What brand and flavor....
Get back to me ..OK
