First of all, don't you have your own vetrinarian that you know and trust? If so, why didn't you board your puppy with that hospital? A reputable animal hospital won't usually remove a collar or harness unless you specifically ask that it be removed. If your dog has hair long enough to matt that seriously over a weekend, it seems that you may need to request grooming services while boarding. I can understand how holding urine could lead to a UTI, but how can a dog that just defecated 5 times be constipated? Are you quite certain that you are bringing your puppy to YOUR vetrinarian on a regular basis?
