When to take your Maltipoo outside
This also roots down from the age of the pooch. Usually, a 4-month old teacup can hold their p*e for about 4 hours or more. A grown-up pup of around 8 months old can hold their urine for 8 hours. Even if your doggo can hold their bladder that long, it’s not ideal to push them to the limits.
Just like humans, Maltipoos can develop urinary tract infection if not allowed to be outside when they need to p*e.
When it comes to elimination, most Maltipoo pups would have a bowel movement 20 minutes after they finish their meal.
Generally, I would bring my Maltipoo out in the yard during these conditions:
*Right after I get him out of the crate. I crate my pup at night so she can sleep soundly. The moment I get him out, I’ll bring her in the yard to go. Take note that we do a midnight potty trip before this one.
*Whenever my pup shows the ‘signs’. My pup would usually run in circles and bark like mad when she’s about to go. This will vary per pup. Usually, you will learn your own doggo’s cues after a few weeks.
*20 minutes after her meal. Since I have a teacup, my pup will usually poo 20-30 minutes after eating a full meal.
Take note that Maltipoos have the tendency to p*e when they get excited. You simply can’t predict accidents in these cases.
MY TIP: If you can’t bring your Maltipoo outside for some reasons, I suggest that you use a potty pad. I use the one from Fresh Patch because it has grass which simulates my own yard.
