For many novice Samoyed dog owners, they are not very good at observing their urination and defecation. Let’s teach you how to tell the health of your dog based on their urination and defecation!

The life of a Samoyed puppy should be regular. Feeding should be regular and quantitative, and nutrition should be balanced. Samoyed puppies should not be allowed to develop bad habits of picky eating and lead to malnutrition. Be careful to prevent hypervitaminosis (especially vitamin A or D) or calcium deficiency. Puppies should not overeat. Generally, 7 to 8 minutes is enough. It is strictly forbidden to feed spoiled food. It is best to wash the food bowl after each feeding to prevent diarrhea or food poisoning. Pay close attention to the urine and defecation conditions of Samoyed puppies to determine whether they are normal.

The frequency of bowel movements generally changes with the age of the dog. How many times a day does it take for an older dog in 1 month? When it is 3 months old, the average is about 3 times a day. The frequency of stool is related to the type of food: for example, when feeding meat and rice, the amount and frequency of stool will be less; when feeding more starchy food, the frequency and amount will be higher. Pay attention to the color, smell and presence of insects in the stool of Samoyed puppies. Normal stool is strip-shaped, moderately soft and hard, and usually slightly yellow. But it is also affected by food. For example, if you eat a lot of meat or feed some liver, your feces will usually turn black. The frequency of urination also changes with the age of the dog. For 1-month-old dogs, it’s about once every 2 hours, and for 2-month-old dogs, it’s about 5 to 6 times a day. Urine that is light yellow and clear and transparent is healthy.

The first time you urinate in the morning, the color will be slightly darker. However, if you find that the urine color remains darker, you should suspect whether you are sick, and it is best to go to the animal hospital for examination. It is best to go to the animal hospital for a physical examination every month, with stool and urine tests, and intestinal parasites removed if necessary. Note: Look for an animal hospital with a good reputation and good facilities. Samoyed puppies are afraid of the cold, so whether it is winter or summer, you must pay attention to keeping them warm. Do not let the Samoyed puppy's abdomen rest on the ground for a long time, as this may easily catch cold and cause diarrhea or a cold. It is not advisable to take your baby for a walk on the road before 5 months of age. Because the bones of Samoyed puppies are not fully developed, walking for a long time can cause bone deformation in the limbs; at the same time, they are very susceptible to diseases outside. Appropriate play and exercise can be done indoors or in the courtyard. When the sun is not too strong and the outdoor temperature is not too high, Samoyed puppies can bask in the sun and sunbathe, which is beneficial to bone growth.
