Can they drink anything other than water? Sure seems a banal existence if the only thing they can drink is water. Is there anything else we can give our yorkies to drink other than water? Every once in a while we all need some sort of cocktail. |
I give my dog cold broth from time to time. I have given a little bit of milk but you have to watch for sensitive stomach. There is also some type of meat favoring you can buy to add to your dog water for an extra taste however I never tried it. |

I give my dog propel fitness water for a treat or when I feel like he's been extra active. He absolutely loves it. He licks his little lips after wards it's so cute. I believe fasteddie mentioned giving his gatorade. |
I have the stuff you mix in the water... It's meat flavored and ice cream flavored. I think it's called k9 coolers... All my dogs love it. |
Nala loves ice tea, lol. When she's being a really good girl I give her some. |
I give Mac & Mellie K9 Quencher. It's chicken broth flavored you mix it with water. I Make a pitcher and keep it the Fridge. My son drank it by accident one day he says it not bad. :eek: |

Thank you! That's funny about your son... |
Be careful with caffenated tea because I think caffine is bad for dogs - I don't know if its true or not, but I thought that was one of the reasons they weren't allowed to have chocolate or coffee. |
I give my yorkies a little bit of milk every now and then. |
I tried giving Bailey milk when he was younger and he threw it up. I've read that most dogs are lactose intolerant, so I won't be doing that again :eek: |

when i talked to the breeder of my yorkie she said at first until we make sure she is eating and drink we should offer her both water AND evaporated goats milk. she doesn't seem to be having a problem with it. |
Bruce gets this with his dinner or if it is a special occassion I will pack it in his lunch for daycare. He loves it! His favorite is the chicken toilet water! http://www.k9waterco.com/ |
My dogs all love carrot juice. Preslee likes to steal drinks of my pomegranate juice when I am not looking too. Little brat sticks her head right in my glass and drinks. I take Recon on alot of hikes, runs and walks and I always give him a half pedialite and half water mix or some fitness water. He loves power aid too. |
The K-9 Quenchers are like pedialyte. They smell really good but I can't not speak to their taste as your son. lol |
I give my babies milk but as stated already that you have to watch as sometimes they can be lactose intolerant. My first Yorkie Charlie was lactose intolerant and vomitted everytime he drank milk. You can get kitty milk that's made by whiskers and felix and he used to enjoy that and it didn't make him vomit either. Also Millie likes cool tea and I make her some every now and then but she likes it with sugar and I don't like to put it in her tea. She also likes fruit juices but I don't give that to her she usually just has a little bit from me from time to time as I don't know if it's good for them. |
I know it seems like it would be boring for the dogs to drink only the same thing every day, but it truly is all they need. Water is vital. We just have such a variety that we can't imagine only drinking water. But if you were to only drink one thing, water is the only one you need. Watch what you give them and make sure YOU don't make water boring for them. They have done studies, and no animal needs milk after being weened from their mother....not even cats. Everything you give them to eat or drink (if not water) throws off the balance of their dog food. sorry if I sound like a sourpuss on this subject. Oh, just so you know, I am typing this in a very nice tone of voice (LOL). |
You can try Rice milk, or Lactose free milk. My daughter bought my yorkie frozen paws ice cream once and she loved it, I know its not a drink, but its a treat!! :p |
Mine are alcoholics lol. God forbid I leave my glass of wine on the table for more then 10 seconds, I come back to one of them with their head in my cup. |
Hey, speaking of wine, I am going to go pour myslef a glass of it and head out to the pool for some R&R! |

Gee, I wish I had a pool. Or even a hot tub. We have an area for one but nothing in it. Sigh. OK. When I first got Pirogue I let him drink soda pop out of my cup. Well.... he snuck into it first. LOL He's the only one who likes it. Now about ALL I drink is iced tea. They don't like it but love to drink the sweat off the glass or paper cup. They do love the ice in their water but they catch it and bring it into the living room and eat it on the couches. Little brats. Good thing my couches are old and ugly. |
TEA is a big no no, it has more caffiene then coffee. I'm with Julz on this one, please don't project your need for variety in drinks on your dogs. It interferes with their digestion and you are just creating fussy eaters. |
Yep. Sylvan is right. There are times when we humans create problems for our critters because we project human wants and needs onto them. Mine get fresh water and for a REAT treat-crushed ice. One of my girls crawls inside the bottom-drawer freezer when I get ice out for my filtered water. If you want to do your babies a favor try dissolving a buillion cube in a small amt of hot water. After it is dissolved, fill the cup up with cold water and put that down along side a bowl of plain cold water. That is as much of a choice as they need to make. |
I found out by accident mine like rasberry flavored water,I had one in a bottle with a sport top,left it on the endtable,came back in to find the sucking on the top and smacking thier lips, now everytime I get one they ar e right thier begging,its only flavored water naturally with no other additives so I allow them to have about 1/2 oz each when I am done and the love to get out of the sucky top |
