As we all know, some people are particular about drinking water, and the same is true for dogs. If owners want their dogs to be in good health, scientific drinking water is indispensable. However, recently many friends have raised questions, why do dogs not like to drink water? If you want to know the reason, take a look!
1. Stale water
Dogs’ sense of smell is very sensitive. If their drinking water and drinking utensils are contaminated, or if there is an odor, they will be reluctant to drink the water. In this regard, owners can check whether the dog's water basin and drinking water are clean. If they are not clean, they should prepare clean and hygienic drinking water for the dog in time, and they should also develop the habit of changing the dog's water regularly.
2. The body is not short of water
If the dog usually eats wet food or soaked dog food, then these foods already contain a lot of water, so the dog will not like to drink water. Don’t worry too much at this time, because the dog has already taken in enough water, so it’s okay if he doesn’t drink water.
3. Picky eaters
Some owners like to feed their dogs drinks that people drink or bone broth. Because the drinks and broth are flavored, dogs will become picky over time and will not like to drink tasteless water. If this is the case, the owner should draw attention and stop this behavior immediately.
4. Sick
Dogs will also stop eating or drinking when they are sick, so owners should pay attention to observation. If they find that in addition to not liking to drink water, the dog is also accompanied by symptoms such as listlessness, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, etc., they should take the dog to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time.
