hi my cat started pooing on the floor ...as before he was very well trained to use the litter ..this problem started as i changed my working shift hours and now he has got a lot of time alone .is there a solution or something i can buy to make him use the litter again thanks

I recently got a kitten and he has done very well with toilet training except for pooping, he has a habit of waiting until night time and when I leave my room he has done it a couple of times on my bed sheets, Help its not very nice and it needs to stop. Please help.

i have had my dog sense she was 6 weeks old and stopped peeing in the house at like 3 months and just recently started peeing in the house. Any one got ideas why?

Why am i a kitten

I am at my end. My cat is at the end of 2 months on zoloft and still spraying. I am so tired of cleaning every day along my diningroom walls and kitchen. Ready to give up but he is so beautiful and I love him so much. He doesn't even snuggle anymore except at bedtime. He used to always be on my lap but is afraid to come near me because I give him the zoloft every night. Started when we moved from Mass to SC.

My 3 year old dog need to poo at 3 am every night. How do I change this habit? He eats at 5 am and 5pm. He use to eat at 3pm but my vet suggested to make it later to possibly change his bathroom habits. It hasn't helped and I am so tired of getting up.Any suggestions??

She was trained to use a bell and she would ring the bell when she wanted out. Lately she has been peeing and pooing in the house and I am at the end of my rope. It's almost as though if she is not the focus of your attention at all times, she takes it upon herself to go on the carpet. She doesnt even use the bell anymore, unless we are sitting right in the room with her. Then she will ring it to go out. Had her out for about half hour last night and when she came in she pooed on the carpet within 10 minutes. I even steamed cleaned the carpet on the weekend to eliminate any odors left behind, and it didnt seem to make a difference. HELP ME!! I'm about to give up on her.

My cat pooped on the sheets of my bed earlier today and after I cleaned it all up and had my bed stripped he prompted to go pee on the mattress a few hrs later. Could he be sick and should I have the vet check him out or should I just keep my door closed and see what happens? He's about 5 yrs old now and has never done this before now.

My sweet puppy will soon be 6 months. Here is my problem. I put her out she pee's like a good girl . But she will not poop outside. She comes in and poops. We don't know out to stop this action.When she is left in the house when we are gone, she poops and pee's on the puddle pad's. I am at my wits in on this. Another thing we don't know what to do about is. When we take her in the car she poop's. She is shaking really bad and poop's . First time she did it was when I bought her. I thought it was a accident. But now we can't take her anywhere in the car with her pooping. We were hoping she would be a traveling companion when we go on trips to Florida. Help... Thanks

My husband recently passed away after being in hospice in our home. Our 2 mini schnauzers were here when he passed. Now when I leave for even short periods of time, one of them pees all over the furniture and carpet. I have begun to crate them when I leave but I feel so guilty about this. And tonight one of them got out of their crate and peed in my son's room. (My son had just been here for awhile today.) What can I do?

My youngest cat of 3 years has recently started to pee in the sink, today my husband picked up some bread from the worktop and found it was wet with cat pee, I have been working away from home for weeks at a time and wondered if it was that, she is very clingy to me when I am home.

what do i need to do? i take them outside and they pee and poop. then they will still pee in the house later. they will go for days and not do anything. i will be so happy then it starts over again. sometimes i think my husband may make them nervous. please help me.

umm, iam having a 2 months old lab pup..nowadays he stinks alot as he dint took a single bath yet from d day he born..my question is can i give him a bath now? as this season is decmbr..is it safe ? it is too cold here..:/ rply asap..

My pup has only been with me about three weeks. When she arrived she was almost perfectly trained. then she discovered the cat box. At first, I caught her going near the box. Now, i've closed the door to that room, cleaned it, and keep an even cleaner cat box. My cat lets me know when he needs to go and he does not go outside of his box unless outside.

since then, my puppy pees and poops wherever she likes. I started usiing pads to direct her elimination, but they seem to have only made matters worse.

also, she's begun to think that outside time is play time. I do not mind taking her out 40 times a day if needed, but i cant always do that. I get up as early as 5 am to allow her to eat nd have plenty of opportunity to eliminate. I have her on a feeding schedule.

what else can i do?
i do NOT want to crate her.
I do NOT want ot get rid of her.

She came almost perfectly trained at 12 weeks. i thought i was doing it all the correct way.

I've not done a good job in training my two love muffins (dogs).
they are now about 1 1/2 years old and they continue to pee/poo about twice per week in the house, always on carpet (so if I lift my area rugs, they'll use my bedroom.

Is it still possible to train them? How should I go about doing this.

On Christmas Day, my cat was accidentally locked in my closet for about 6 hours. When we got home, I heard her and let her out immediately. She had peed and pooped in there. Since then, she refuses to poop in the litter box. And her movements have been semi-soft. I wonder if it was so stressful in the closet that she is physically ill? Or, is it revenge? I'm really tired of cleaning cat poop off the carpet,rugs and even my bedspread! And yes, the litter box is the same, the litter itself is the same and it's kept scooped. HELP!!

My 7 month old longhaired dauchsund has a problem with pooping immediately after her bath even if she has just went out. She has even pooped in the tub. Any advice?

im reallly worried bout her shes acting fine and happy tho shes been eating and drinking water she dont seem to be in any pain the only thing can think of is after being fixed she was moved over to my place where i live so its a new house ive tried since monday to put her in litterbox and she runs right back outta it is she scared of it cus she doesnt have the smell of the other cats turds in it anymore or is she constipated?

We have 5 desexed indoor cats (3 of which are maine coons) - all beautifully looked after, fed Royal Canin dry food as well as fresh ham, tuna, etc., they are wormed regularly, Frontlined, have a cat run outside, 5 litter trays, their own bedroom with a bed each, cat wheels, cat poles from simple ones to huge ones, lots of toys - all spoilt rotten.

Our problem is that our 10 month old maine coon has started pooping inside a while ago (mostly on the tiled entrance of the house, but if we leave our bedroom door open, he will also do it on our bedspread). We clean it up properly (we have tried everything you could think of - bleach, disinfectant - Urine-Off) - now he has started peeing inside as well.

All of the litter trays are cleaned out daily, they are all brushed daily, fed individually morning and night with dry food left out at all times. We love them all dearly and are very affectionate to all of them and make sure no-one is excluded.

We are now desperate on what to do about him - we have even considered finding him a new home (but who would want this problem and besides that we don't want to lose him). Otherwise he is beautiful, healthy and very loving. Please help - we have to find something to stop him doing this!!!!

Thanks

For some reason my 4 month old kitten will not pee in his litter box. He still uses it to poo. But seems to prefer to pee on the bath mat or random newspapers around the house. Is there anything I can do?

is there a law about dogs not allowing to wee wee in your frontyard?

how to stop the owner from using my front yard for his two puppies using it as toilet.

please help. thanks a lot!

i wrote about my grandaughter dogs and on top it says reply to gamma. i wanted a reply to me thanks for the site. barbara

Recently my six year old male shephard mix has started to urinate when left alone in his kennel even for short times, my father has recently passed away and they were together when i left the house. could this be his way of grieving or separation anxiety because now his alone when i leave the house

Ok so i live with my sister and she is the classic bleeding heart animal lover of the family so she loves her cat dearly. That being said i cant say that she knows the best way to train a cat but she definitely does her best. Anyway her cats problem is that it just urinates on ANYTHING that is fabric-like and owned by her. Iv done a little bit of research and according to google she is either mad for being lonely or just simply has bad potty training, i believe its just the latter, but im not sure. Im not sure because well untill recently i wasnt really the nicest person to her. I never beat the cat or anything but i hav yelled at it very loudly and thrown pillows and such things at it because i just had no idea how to treat the situation. So i just need to know how to fix it and if the cats just mad at her for leaving her alone with me all the time which also makes sense

I have an 11 year old small dog that has recently started to drink excessive amounts of water, will try to get in the shower with to get water, drink from puddles, etc. Because of this, he needs to urinate frequently and will have accidents even if taken out a few minutes earlier. We have been to the vet several times. They have checked the dog for infections, diabetics , and kidney function, and CBC counts. his kidney function is on the low side of normal and blood work normal. Otherwise he seems playful and well although his appetite has somewhat diminished. It seems he is starved for water and will bark by the sink until we fill his bowl which he will immediately finish and want more. He is a shih tau and we love him very much. any ideas?

I have 5 male cats spraying in my house and outside porch.
i have tried everything except medication. will medication work and how lasting? I m at the end of my rope. thanks

As said in the subject, I have a six month old beagle female. According to the Vet, she has been healthy all three times I brought her in for her shots. She is potty trained. I noticed tonight, that she had urinated in a small spot on the carpet. about 2 inches in diameter. In the very middle of this was a spot of blood. This has now happened twice tonight. Does anyone know what might be causing this, and what's wrong? After having the accident, I didn't even have a chance to correct her. She went to a corner, and laid down. She does that if she pees or has a BM in the house. Our finances are extremely tight at the moment, so I am trying to find out if it could be something big or not...

my dog just had a litter of puppies and we just moved and now she pees and poops on our living room carpet very morning i wake up i dont undertsand cause i let her out many times through oput the night and she is trained why is she doing this ???

female feline shorthair appx. 4 yrs old. Poop has been like chocalate syrup last few days . What could cause this?

I have 2 7 month old kittens. One of them is death. He pees and wees wherever he wants. On beds behind curtains on bath matts, clothes and even (just now) on my daughters dolls head!!!

He does us the cat litter tray as well just seems like when he feels like it.

Anyone who can give me any advice would be greatly apprietiated. I dont want to get rid of them but I have a small child and if this behaviour continues I wont have much choice.

Thanks in advance

I've done this repeatadly hence Jack doin his num 2 where i showed. He just won't do his wee in the same place. Ive even gave him treats when he does his number 2s. He also does get plenty of excercise with playing and walking round the city. Can anyone give me tips on how to get jack doin his we where he does his num2s.do i need to be more assertave than im already being with Jack. please help. Any tips will be greatfully accepted.

We have an 8 yr. old cat who has taken to peeing in the house instead of his litter box. He will use the box in the garage or outside. We can't figure out why? Any suggestions? His health is fine, and nothing in the house has changed.

I have cats that keep pooping in the same spot on the concrete floor after the litter box is filled.
Is there a way that I can get them to quit doing this?

I am the owner of 6 dogs, 1 chihuahua, 4 doxies and a terrier mix. We have so many dogs due to the fact we each brought in 3 a piece into our relationship and marriage. My dogs were not completely potty train, which has given a green light for all of them to behave this way. All dogs are over 10 years old. Is it to late? We just moved for a temporary time (6 months) with laminate wood floors. After 1.5 weeks they have urinated in the the same spot more than 1-4 times and the laminate is already lifting and .... What do I do to eliminate this problem?... We already conceded to the fact we will have to replace the laminate but is there a way to control it now - since we just moved in.. Help Please

We don't have a litter box inside, so my cat in use to going out to use the bathroom. Lately she has been pooping in my closet. It's getting cold outside and it's hard to get her to go out. She's getting old and honary too!!

What might be causing my 8 year old Maltese to wake and need to go out to relieve himself in the middle of the night. He has alway slept thru the night and never has to do a BM in the middle of the night. We take him out 2-3 times before his bedtime arrives, so it is not like he hasn't had an opportunity to do his business before bed time. Should I adjust the times when he eats (1/2 cup twice a day).

every time my dog gets up after sitting down of lying down he goes and smells the part of the carpet that his bum was on, why is this?

My husband ans I adopted a new family member about 3 days ago
she's great a lot of energy my problem she keeps pooping and peeing in house I take her out but no poop she'll pee but my carpet is suffering.We have 2 other dogs who are very clean , she came from a breeder who had her crate trained. WE don't do that , but open to sugestions.

I was wondering how to use that recipe when my dogs have gone all over the house. I looked at it and it seems like it would take me a long time to go through the entire house. Can you use it in a shampooer, a kirby shampooer at that?

We have just recently got a new puppy. He keeps going toilet in my sons room , even worse we have carpet. I was just wanting to know if any1 had any good tips for puppy potty training. Iv got newspaper out in the wash house for him, he uses it sometimes and also goes outside sometimes, But going in my sons room is a big NO NO! yukk..Help please..I cant close my sons door at night etc too because i like to be able to hear him if he stirs, but thats the only place he poo's esp during night. He will go out of my room and into his too poo.

my cat has recently come back home after running away for 2 months i had him neutured and he still keeps crying out by the door and pooing on the floor when there is a tray there? i have also got afemale cat

I have a Maltese X lately she has been weeing and she does not know she is doing it, anybody got any ideas why she is completly toliet trained she even go out at night, all of a sudden she is doing this.

My cat absolutely refuses to use the litter box for pooing. She always pees in it but never pooing. Out of desperation I bought and put out puppy pads (used for training pups to go outside). She loves them and uses them for poo. I'm glad to find something to keep it off the floor, but what is her problem? Oh, she's been to the vet and all tests are okay.

One of our cats just seems to be peeing and pooping more than usual. Otherwise he is acting normal; purring a lot, being lovable, and not showing any distress at all. Please don't advise a vet--we are out of work and simply cannot afford a vet.We got him when I was working and were able to vet him. Now we can't (no money). Ideas?

First of all I can not tell you how many people have posted to use vinegar to clean pet accidents. This is a MAJOR NO NO. Never use vinegar or ammonia to clean up after pets. Both products contain elements that can be found in urine. Animals like cats and dogs will pee instinctively where they smell traces of urine. So if you are cleaning with either vinegar or ammonia, you are basically reinforcing the animal to pee outside of the designated area. This advice can also be found on the Humane Societies website.

If you are having issues with a cat not using the litter box, spraying the cat with water when it goes somewhere else is completely absurd. If your cat is not using the box, wipe up where the cat has gone to the bathroom with paper towels and then place those paper towels in the back of the litter box. This should help redirect the cat to follow the scent to the box. Next you must thoroghly clean the area where the urine is. I have found the BEST product out there is Genesis 950. I have used every product I could find, but none come close to doing what 950 can. It works with water and is an environmentally friendly product that breaks the bonds of stains, lifts them, deodorizes and kills germs & bacteria. If you are not thoroughly cleaning, the cat will continue to use this spot.

The same holds true for dogs. Once a dog makes it's mark on the carpet that mark will become a popular destination for your dog unless you eliminate the smell completely. And remember, just because you can't smell the mark doesn't mean the dog can't. So it is very important you use a cleaner that gets rid of all traces of urine.

Be very careful as to what advice you are following on here. I cringe to think people are trying to clean urine with products that will just cause the pets to reuse that spot as a bathroom. I am also sickened by some of the methods people use on here to try to "train" their animals. To clean with vinegar then discipline the animal for going to the bathroom is completely conflicting. Use a cleaner that works like Genesis 950 and you are not only removing stains, but you are also redirecting bad behaviors.

My 2 and a half year old Springer Spaniel for the past 2 nights has been peeing downstairs where I normally sit and where my daughter sits. Thank god I have a wooden floor but why now! He goes out numerous times a day and goes out before we all go to bed..Please can someone help me!!!
