The theory behind the gatorade (and we give fruit punch flavor) is that everyones water supply, even bottled water, tastes different. This way when puppies go to new homes, they will drink. Also they said that puppies when stressed or playing will sometimes forget to eat, but won't forget to drink and the gatorade helps keep the sugar levels up and hydrated.
When we got her off the plane - Miami to NM was about 6.5 hours - her carrier had a hamster type bottle of gatorade attached. We were told to give her some gatorade immediately with a syringe and then some nutrical and she immediately perked up. Today is her first day with pure water and we've had her 3 wks yesterday.
I will miss her very pink tongue and fruity kisses.
