If your pet is a mammal who weighs more then 3kg (6.6lbs) it should take about 21 seconds (plus or minus 13 seconds) to empty their bladder. A team from Georgia Tech just won the 2015 Ig Nobel Prize in Physics for their research as announced in the BBC news the full research is published here

Be aware though, smaller animals like Rats can urinate in a fraction of a second.
