| Zhoie doesn't lick hers, but sometimes she does have to take a sniff of it. Guess, she's checking to make sure it her, LOL. Seriously, I don't think that's uncommon. Are you sure she is not just smelling it?

The only common cause of urine drinking I have encountered is a result of urinary infections where the dog was dehydrated and therefore willing to drink anything to alleviate their thirst. It is also possible that she is trying to remove the evidence of her accident by lapping up the urine - although many would dispute this.

| Karen she was crate trained all day yesterday and quite thirsty, she was like a scavenger to the water bowl! She goes to the vet this week I will be sure to mention but hope it was just a fluke yesterday |

When crate training if you are going to be leaving her in there all day you should be providing her water. All animals should always have access to fresh water. | |

I feel it is important that young pups have water and even food if you are not home to feed mid day. Good luck and take care

| She is not in there all day and I am home supervising her the majority of the day, I do potty/play/crate intervals. I am a SAHM and when she is out she is in my kitchen/office (I am a student and work at my desk all day) area gated. She has lots of running and play room as well as unlimited water when out. I did the same with my 5 yr old pup successfully. Last edited by Lumpysmama; 03-27-2011 at 10:43 AM. |
