Sometimes a food change will help.
Ask your vet.

Hi, Tracy.


Sheldon's not very predictable, either.  His breakfast time can vary from day to day by a couple of hours, depending on when I get up. (Sometimes, Sheldon tells me to get up.) His supper is now almost always around 5:30.  He wants to wiz and crap more in a day than any of my four previous dogs, more if he gets more work, of course.


One thing that has helped me somewhat in the morning is to feed him before I take him out to park.  If I take him out first, as we did in my last Seeing Eye class, he often wants me to take him out a second time soon after breakfast.


I don't know why Sheldon makes more visits to the Great Park than any of my other dogs, but I know of no medical problems and I figure I just have to live with it.  I'll be glad if somebody knows a better way, but this is the best I know.


Best!

Al
