Question
Hi! I have an 18 week old jrt his perfect he does his business in a box ready for him, but if he does his business and we didn't clean it up right away he will eat it up. i hope you can help me with my problem.thanks bye for now.

Answer
Hi Laurence,
I know this seems really gross, but believe it or not, it's not so uncommon!
Why do you have him going in a box instead of outside?
At almost 5 months old, your puppy should and could be completely house-broken and should be doing his business outside!! Get rid of the box!
Good luck!!
