Humans are much more likely to be dehydrated than dogs because we drink things with caffeine in them and alcohol which also dehydrates. If your dog has water in his food, he will drink less water from his bowl. Just make sure your water bowls contain fresh clean water.
I agree, fresh, clean water. I read somewhere, that if you won't drink the water out of the dogs bowl, why should they.
