My theory is this for what it is worth...when I used licky bottles my dogs only drank enough water to get by...when they are watered from a dish they drank much more...JMO. A breeder friend has a problem with a few of hers and kidney stones..when she measured how much was drank from a bottle each day compared to a dish was an eye opener..but again..one persons opinion.
I use coup cups hung on the pens..
Thank you for posting that. I was seriously thinking about trying the water bottles, but I think I'll stick with what we have now.
