They swear by it, since it's got all the electrolytes in it. I personally have never tried it with my dog, though I know he loves sweet things to drink, lol! He's careful with it! doesn't splash at all, and slowly drinks the entire bowl and then licks for more. Just stay away from ANYTHING with xylitol in it (an artificial sweetener) as it is toxic to dogs. I would suggest using Clean Runs' products since they're approved for dogs, or pedia lyte without fake sweeteners. You're welcome, and I hope it helps!

Does she like ice? Also, I've heard that some people give their dogs a form of dog gatorade to get them to drink more. It's on Clean Run's website http://www.cleanrun.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=328 . I hope you find what you're looking for!

I have a Mini Aussie,Lizzi who refuses to drink water at practice sessions and will eventually take a little sip at an all day trial-I live in Florida and it's just toooo hot for her not to drink!She drinks fine at home from a "fountain" type running water bowl--I'm looking for a bowl I have seen,but cannot find on line--It is kind of a blue/gray round hard plastic travel bowl with lid with an orange colored handle--I want it to use at home for a while and hopefully train her to take water at trials-Does anyone know the bowl I am talking about and where to get it? Thanks for any suggestions Hi!
