Puppy urination excitement

A

Ashley

Our Male golden retriever is 5 months old. He is not neutered. The past few weeks he has started to have issues with urinating a bit when excited when someone comes home or when he meets new people. Is this normal?

Hi Ashley-

Submissive urination like this is very common (but not normal).

Try ignoring your pup for the first 5 minutes whenever you or a guest comes over.

How is your pup in all other ways?

What's he eating?

Did he receive a vaccine just prior to this problem starting?

Hes very healthy. Only has had one set of shots from breeder at 8 weeks. He eats abundant health kibble and I make him fresh food for lunch. He also gets lots of fresh fruit and veggies because i share my smoothies with him 3xday. He gets fresh fruit as treats too. Hoping to switch him out from the kibble to Honest Kitchen grain free in the next month. I found you via Medical Medium.

That's great Ashley!

The sooner he gets off the kibble, the better.
