Question
Hi marley is 1yr old black boy  he is on hills dry food what is the amount off food he should be having a day the reason i ask this is because he has 3 poops a day but one of them is at 3am in the morning he wakes us up to do this and are trying to stop him getting us up at 3am any help please

Thank you Craig

Answer
Craig,

I suggest that you give him his last meal of the day earlier. Then take him out to do his business before you go to bed and hopefully he won't have to go again until morning.

It may just be habit at this point.  You could also try leaving him in a bathroom at night and see if he can learn to hold it till morning.  Last resort would be crating him at night until he learns to wait until morning.

Hope this helps.
