Hi, I have two (brothers) short tailed pointer breed dogs (small-med size with full white coats and brown/Choco/caramel coloring/spots). One, the runt, seems to have bowl issues, or at least a smaller everything, bladder, stomach, etc., since his brother is about twice as big as him. What do you recommend for when the lil one needs to go out to pee at night? They both bark if they need out, but the lil one not as loudly as his bigger bro, so in the morning we sometimes have messes to clean up?

Withholding food and water close to bed time may help, or crating in your bedroom so you can hear if they need to potty. Go for a walk before bed to make sure they have ample opportunity to potty, as well.
