Drinking Water Bowl For Your Dog
When you see your dog drinking dirty water from the pond you could be fooled into thinking they are not fussy about what water they drink. This is not really the case, your dog actually does care were his water comes from and can be quite awkward when it comes to his drinking bowl.
To illustrate the point I have two dogs and therefore two water bowls, surprisingly they will only drink out of one bowl even though they are identical, as a test I swapped the positions of the bowls; they followed the bowl and left the one they didn't drink out of originally.
After some investigation I found out that dogs like water not just because they are thirsty but depending on where they are drinking it from they can taste certain nutrients that they crave, this makes them seem like fussy drinkers.
In this article we will review a range of dog water bowls and water dispensers; hopefully you can find one your dog loves.
Before we move on why not make a note and later on take a look at my article:
