Pur puppy is about 5 months old. She just does not want to pee. She maybe goes 2-3 times per day for the last 5 days. She does not look uncomfortable. Do I need to be concerned? She is a small breed. She used to go more times per day.

Hi there and thank you for using PetCoach! If you think Sophie is uncomfortable and in pain, I would take her in to be examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. If she is not uncomfortable, as you say, then she is probably just fine. Sometimes the frequency at which dogs go to the bathroom changes based on hydration and behavioral changes (not wanting to go outside much, etc.). I would keep an eye on her and if she begins to develop any symptoms such as needing to go more frequent, straining to urinate, blood in urine, etc. then I would take her in to be seen by a veterinarian.
