I have always encouraged Gracie to drink lots of water. Don't use a plastic dish. They hold odors and germs. I like to use a glass dish and wash it at least twice a day. The slime from their mouths get in the water and make it icky pretty fast. I give her bottled water.....either distilled or purified. Sometimes she likes to drink it as I pour it into the dish. Dogs love fresh water. The fresher the better. |
I totally agree about using a bowl that does not retain "scents" and washing it with warm water and soap 2x a day.
I have the opposite problem with Romeo -- he loves to drink water, especially cold water.
Have you tried maybe giving your baby ice chips? Make sure the chips are very small to avoid choking. Romeo loves ice especially after a good run around the house and he's all heated up!
