Dog suddenly pooping inside after daycare. Is it the concrete?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 17 lbs

My dog usually does good pooping outside, but recently has been pooping in and out of the house. The last time that happened, she had inner parasites. We took a poop sample to the vet for testing, and it came out negitive. She also goes to a daycare a lot and they don't have any grass, just concrete for the dogs to play on. Could the daycare be the reason why this is happening? My dog is still acting normal, except being a little picky with her food.

It's possible she is getting mixed signals from daycare but it's impossible to say for sure. I recommend crating her when you are not directly watching her and at night. This may help to remind her about her housebreaking. You may also want to walk her more often and keep her feeding on a schedule. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
