Is my dog comfortable holding pee 8-10 hours without using pads?

Question

Hello, I have a question about leaving my dog home while at work. The dog is a toy poodle that is 9 and she has been trained to use and effectively has used pee pads in the past. In the past, I have come home from work and she has urinated or defecated on the pads. However, now she is not doing that anymore and waits 8-10 hours from when I leave for work to when I get back, to go the bathroom. Is she comfortable waiting that long since she used the pads in the past. What should I do? Pet's info: Dog | Toy Poodle | Female | spayed | 7 lbs

Great question! If you are leaving her the pads you are giving her the opportunity to relieve herself. If she chooses not to use it, that is up to her. It's not uncomfortable for her if she chooses not to relieve herself. I would continue to offer the pee pads and if she uses them, great! If she doesn't, I wouldn't worry. Kisses to Bailey!
