Like humans and animals, plants need both water and nutrients (food) to survive. Most all plants use water to carry moisture and nutrients back and forth between the roots and leaves. Water, as well as nutrients, is normally taken up through the roots from the soil.
So, for example, a 3-month old puppy should be able to hold its urine for approximately 4 hours in a pinch. This means that if you have a properly toilet trained 4-month-old puppy that, theoretically, can hold its urine for 5 hours, and you shut that puppy in a crate for 6 or 7 hours, you are courting disaster.
If you've allowed your dog to toilet in there crate previously then this is why they keep doing it, also if you leave your puppy in there too long then it will happen! A Puppy of 3/4 months can only hold on for 3/4 hours so you need to get up in the night and let them out.ou can gradually build the number of hours your dog can stay in the crate to 6 hours maximum (on the rare occasion when absolutely unavoidable), but this process occurs at a rate of one hour per month-a 2 month old puppy must have a break after 2 hours.
