For all of you goldendoodle owners out there, one important question to ask is how often your furry friend needs to go to the bathroom. After all, you want to make sure they’re staying healthy and happy! Here is a breakdown of what you can expect in terms of frequency.
Depending on the size of your goldendoodle, they may need to go to the bathroom anywhere from 2-5 times a day
Goldendoodles come in a variety of sizes, meaning that their bladder size can vary significantly. Unfortunately, small sized goldendoodles won’t be able to hold their bladder as long as larger dogs.
Generally speaking, larger sizes can go longer between bathroom breaks – up to five times a day. On the other hand, smaller dogs may need to go to the bathroom closer to two times each day.
All goldendoodle owners should be mindful of these differences and ensure that their pup gets plenty of opportunities for potty breaks throughout the day.
If you have a puppy, they will likely need to go more often as they are still growing and learning how to control their bladder
If you have a puppy, they will need potty breaks more frequently since their bladder hasn’t yet developed the capacity to hold in the urge for long periods of time.
This can often be inconvenient but is important to ensure your pup becomes house trained properly. Take them outside shortly after naps or eating their meals for maximum effectiveness and soon enough they’ll be able to control their bladder when needed.
Older goldendoodles may only need to go once or twice a day
Older goldendoodles generally have more bladder control and muscle sensation than puppies. As they age, many goldendoodles are able to hold their bladder for a longer period of time and only need to go once or twice a day.
Of course, every dog is different and individual needs should be taken into consideration when determining the best routine for your pet. Establishing an environment where your furry friend feels comfortable going outside will ensure that their bladder stays healthy in the long term.
Take your dog for a walk after meals so they can relieve themselves in an appropriate spot
Taking your dog out for a walk shortly after meals can be beneficial in numerous ways. After eating, the bladder of your pup usually needs to be relieved, especially if it is a young puppy or an older dog like a goldendoodle.
Teaching your furry friend to hold their bladder in appropriate spots rather than inside the house will make life easier for you and them. Post-meal walks are also comfortable for dogs as they can ease off from all the food that has been consumed and enjoy some quality time with their owners.
It’s best to set aside some time every day so you can go out on regular walks with your canine companion that will help boost their mental, physical and social wellbeing.
Always be prepared with doggy bags when you leave the house – you never know when nature will call!
For any pet owners out there, having a doggy bag ready to go is essential! Even the most well-behaved goldendoodle can sometimes find themselves struggling to hold their bladder until they make it home.
Being prepared with the necessary items to clean up the mess your pup inevitably leaves behind can help save you a lot of stress and hassle. That’s why it always pays to have a bagful of goodies ready whenever you and your furry buddy decide to leave the house – you never know when nature will call!
Taking care of a goldendoodle can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience, but it is also very important to keep their needs in mind. When it comes to potty time, the frequency will depend on the age, size and individual needs of your pup.
Puppy goldendoodles might need 5 trips to the bathroom each day while adults may get away with just one or two. Consistency is key – try and take your dog for a walk soon after meals so they can do their business in a pleasant environment.
Don’t forget to bring doggy bags with you when you go outside in case your goldendoodle has to poop! By taking the time to invest in a good potty routine, you’ll ensure that you and your goldendoodle can have many years of happy memories together.
