Nasty, licking owns pee We are on day 1 of "potty outside" and Maci had a few accidents inside since I completely eliminated her pee pad to crate train. She has now licked her own pee puddle 2x today....ewwwww! |
Zhoie doesn't lick hers, but sometimes she does have to take a sniff of it. Guess, she's checking to make sure it her, LOL. Seriously, I don't think that's uncommon. Are you sure she is not just smelling it? |

The only common cause of urine drinking I have encountered is a result of urinary infections where the dog was dehydrated and therefore willing to drink anything to alleviate their thirst. It is also possible that she is trying to remove the evidence of her accident by lapping up the urine - although many would dispute this.

Karen she was crate trained all day yesterday and quite thirsty, she was like a scavenger to the water bowl! She goes to the vet this week I will be sure to mention but hope it was just a fluke yesterday:p |

When crate training if you are going to be leaving her in there all day you should be providing her water. All animals should always have access to fresh water. |

I feel it is important that young pups have water and even food if you are not home to feed mid day. Good luck and take care |
