We have had Brooke (Lab cross) since February this year. She is a rescue dog. We generally feed her at the same time in the evening's. I usually walk her about an hour and an hour after her evening feed. The last two nights she hasn't poo'd. I worry that she should not go all night without her toilet. I am reasonably happy that she would make some noise if she needed to go as her manners are superb. Am I over worrying or is this common amongst dogs?

They're all different, like people - if she doesn't need to go out in the night, if she is eating and drinking well and her poos are a good consistency, I wouldn't worry.
BTW, it's usually recommended that you feed a dog twice a day, not just once. Maybe consider splitting her food between morning and evening?

We do feed her twice a day.

My JRT may go to the toilet on his evening walk I would say out of 7 days he will go to the toilet at night 4 days out of the 7,other weeks he may not go at night at all as Judy has said as long as she is having normal poos I wouldn't worry

Poo update!Ah, sorry - I wasn't quite sure from your post
Brookes bowels healthy. Owner (me) soaking wet.
Nice to hear it.
Erica, thanks for your comment. Whilst I am on here, I wonder if you could help me. I cannot for the life of me find the way to start a new topic despite somebody on this forum describing how it is done. Could I have your version please. Apparently it is in red letters but I cannot find it.
Your help or anybody's help would be most appreciated.

Thanks for your reply. Trouble is that I don't get the red box for some reason. I have had similar advice from other posters. I may delete the website and 're install. Thanks for your help.Which area of the forum do you want to post in John?

Could you take a screenshot of the page where you're not seeing the red box that you should? Or copy the url of that page and paste it in this thread so we can see the right page?
You could also try a different browser - which are you using?
