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.
Report Abuse. Generally smaller dog breeds can only hold their pee for around 8 hours max. Not sure what type of terrier you have, but if it is a larger terrier then 10 hours is pretty normal. All dogs are different, some have smaller bladders than others.dult dogs can usually hold it in for 4-6 hours six at most if unattended and then they will use the house floor my dog holds his pee in all night in his kennel. puppies are like 2hours at most.
