I've read up on this and was told all these suggestions, but I'm getting to the point where I'm weepy, because I can't get her to stop this. I've even encouraged her to walk with the leash. she's super playful and cuddly- she even pees/poops on her pad an outside. I just don't understand a dog that will NOT drink water. She pees a LOT but I know it would be more if she was drinking more. My husband tells me that it's from the dog food, it has so much water in it she's not thirsty. I certainly hope so. Otherwise, I have to try the vet- again- and wait in the lobby. They don't take appointments. |
update: I am going to try your suggestion with the dry food to the letter. I tried her royal canin today at dinner in anticipation of this. I think you're REALLY on to something and I can't thank you enough. She did some lapping up and I'm hoping that the cold water in the bowl in a few minutes will encourage her to drink. I'll give you an update after he breakfast tomorrow.
