Hello,
Was wondering if anyone could give me some advise as i don't know if it's "normal" for a saint bernard.
We have a 7 month old saint bernard bitch. She stays at my mothers all day and comes home to me in the evening. She drinks ALOT of water....When you put a bowl down for her she pretty much drinks it all.
The thing is she pees during the night time sometimes...not all the time but i don't think we have gone 1 full week where she hasn't peed. She started off in a crate but as a pup she didn't chew on anything other than metal and the only metal thing was her cage so that was fine. So now she "roams" round the kitchen.
Recently i've been taking her water off her at 19:00 but somtimes she will want some like go to the area where her water is kept so i give her a little bit.. Anyway i then let her out every hour before i go to bed which is about 10:00ish then wake up around 5:00 and somtimes she does wee...somtimes she doesn't but like i said not gone a full week without wee. A few friends of mine there pups stopped weeing at the age of 6 months or sooner, they learnt to hold it in? But she doesn't seem to i'm getting worried that it will become a habbit. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips if this is normal? Or anything that might help that they have done with their saints.
Many thanks in advance for your help..
Carley & Snow "woof"!
Addtional I forgot to mention that the only time she pees in the house is during the night when we are in bed, when she wants to go during the day she dings the bell on our back door...
