Dogs are modern descendants of wolves. In addition to external attractiveness, wolves have an interesting moment in their behavior: they try to cope with their natural needs as far as possible from the lair. Thus, they try to protect their offspring from intestinal infections and parasites .
Psychological problems
Nowadays we try to walk with pets three times a day. However, often owners of four-legged friends are faced with an unpleasant situation: the dog urinates at home. Explanations why a dog often peeds may be several. First and foremost, the banal lack of education - in case you yourself do not cope with this matter, ask for advice to the filmologists.
If you have a young, non-castrated male, perhaps it's just marking the territory. Suppress this behavior can be castration, although first it is worth trying to raise such a dog: for this, it must be constantly watched to punish it in time.
The dog urinates involuntarily and in those cases when he experiences strong emotions: excitement and fear. Very often the puppy is described during the game or when you iron it. In such situations, interact with the puppy after he emptied the bladder, and try not to exaggerate his nervous system too much. A dog peed under himself for fear or in a situation where she does not know how to react, or when she was raised in excessive severity. At the same time, defecation can occur. Try to eliminate as much as possible what scares the dog; if the dog is afraid of you, try to sit down, pat her under the chin and talk to her.
Health problems
If you have an unsterilized bitch, and you notice that the dog pisses very often, it may mean the approach of estrus. This phenomenon can be observed in sterilized bitches, then they prescribe a medicine based on progesterone.
Also, the cause of frequent urination may be malnutrition with an overabundance of sodium.
In any case, if the dog often urinates, you should contact the veterinarian. He will take tests and possibly send to ultrasound. If you notice that your dog is also much itchy, most likely, it has cystitis - an inflammation of the bladder. Cystitis occurs as a result of hypothermia. This bacterial disease, therefore, is treated only with antibiotics, which should be selected by a specialist. Also, frequent urination can be a symptom of diabetes, neoplasms in internal organs, pyometra and other diseases. So, if you notice that the dog often urinates, do not delay the visit to the vet.
