This is my first post on this forum, which I've found very helpful during our first months as bulldog owners!
Our Castor is five months now, and although he never pees indoors when he is awake, he does have accidents almost every night. They only happen in his bed (he sleeps in a plastic basket on a towel with a fleece blanket beneath). At what age did your bulldogs sleep through the night? Is this bed-wetting likely due to immaturity or should we look for some other reason?
During daytime, we take him out every three hours or so and he never pees indoors during daytime. The last time we take him out is round midnight and by then he is sound asleep so we need to wake him up to go out. Nonetheless, he always pees and usually poops then. If he wakes up during night, we always take him out at once, but quite often he doesn't wake up until his bed is wet. Setting the alarm clock and waking him up seems to be the only solution right now. Any other suggestions?
Since he only pees in his bed we believe he's too young to sleep through the night. On the other hand, these accidents sometimes happen only an hour or so after he's been out, so it's a bit frustrating (and we don't have a washing machine so I spend a lot of time in the laundry...).
