It is normal for male dogs to have a small amount of discharge from the penis. Some dogs do a better job then others in cleaning themselves. It is usually a whitish to yellowish substance. If it is just being noticed occasionally I wouldn’t be concerned, however if it is enough that he is leaving puddles on the floor then he should be evaluated by a veterinarian. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

Yes, this is normal for some dogs to have a little bit of discharge from their penis that can become stuck to the hair. As long as his urinary habits haven't changed (no accidents in the house, etc) I wouldn't be worried. If he's not licking himself clean, you're doing exactly what you should by wiping him after he urinates!
