Puppies a few months will hold stool

Puppies can hold their urine and stool at 5-7 months of age because their urinary and excretory systems are well developed and they can give proper control on their own. If trained, puppies as young as 3 months old can also hold urine, but the younger the age, the shorter the time to hold urine. Generally speaking, a 3-month-old puppy can hold urine for up to 5 hours, and a 5-month-old for up to 7 hours, but it is not recommended that owners allow their dogs to hold urine often, as holding urine for more than 12 hours may cause damage to the dog’s urinary system. Therefore, in daily life, it is best for the owner to let the dog urinate in a timely manner, and the longest should not exceed 10 hours. Generally speaking, male dogs will hold urine for a longer period of time, but it will affect its genital health, and in serious cases, it may even develop urinary stones.
