Why are my toy poodles needing to go out more ?

My two female toy poodles who are 11 years old in human years have needed to go out once every hour instead of once every four hours?Why are my toy poodles needing to go out more ?
Have you had them in recently for a vet checkup? Since they're getting on in years it's probably a good idea. Mention their symptoms to your vet. It could certainly be normal, but it would be good to rule out a urinary or kidney problem.
Have the vet check your dogs. Could be urinary infection. Have the dogs checked as soon as possible. If it is an infection, don't let it blossom into something more serious.Why are my toy poodles needing to go out more ?
are you talking about going out to socialize or water the lawn??



Have you noticed that your dogs are drinking more water?? if so then that is the reason. Have your dogs been given a different diet?? Have they had working done?



I have noticed that a dog with has worms will go outside more often than a dogs who does not have intestinal parasites. reason? well the worms suck out all the nutrients as it is being digested and the "leftovers" go right through the animal.



There are so many reasons for this to happen, but the best way to find out is to ask your local vet
They are getting older and so they need to go out more. Just like when old humans need to wear Depends. Be happy that they still can hold it at that age.Why are my toy poodles needing to go out more ?
maybe they are feeling more inergenic or are bored buy some toys for them so they have fun inside
11 years old in human years..ok so like how old are they really? Are you using a 1 dog year/ equals 7 human years? I never get this...its not that they are counting in human years...they just have shorter life spans....flies dont live in human days....they just live....



If they are drinking excessively and using the bathroom tons more, this could be a sign of diabetits. Are they overweight? Do they still eat, normally? Are they peeing everytime, or just wanting to go out and sniff stuff? Have they been spayed? Are they in heat? If so they could be marking.....many many many questions. best bet, call your vet and ask him/her.
Is it for poop or pee or both?

Did you recently change their diets?

Also as the first person said... may not be a bad idea to take them to the vet for a check-up
