Dogs can hold their stool for about 10 hours, which needs to be decided according to the dog’s own situation. Some dogs can hold it for more than 24 hours. Occasionally holding in the stool for a short period of time will not have any obvious effects, but holding in the stool for a long time can easily lead to reduced defecation reflexes, constipation, blood in the stool, toxin deposition, and expansion of the lower colon, etc.

What to do if your dog is holding back its stool

1. Pet owners should not let their dogs stay at home all the time. It is best to take them outdoors for walks and appropriate exercise, preferably every day. Walk your dog two to three times, and take your dog out half an hour or an hour after it eats. You can pass more defecation places that it is familiar with, and keep quiet when it defecates, and do not disturb it maliciously.

2. Pet owners also need to supplement their intestinal tract with beneficial bacteria to increase the activity of their intestinal tract.

3. The daily diet should be regular and reasonable. Do not let the dog eat too much or too miscellaneous food at once, and do not always feed it dry and hard meat, bones or liver. food.

4. Adult dogs only need to eat two meals a day. It is best not to feed them before going to bed to prevent the dog from wanting to defecate in the middle of the night and from pooping at home.
