Possible Problems with Your Dog’s Drinking Water

Our dogs are like family. If we have quality drinking water, why shouldn’t they? Dogs are drinking less than quality water more than you might think and it could lead to health problems you don’t want for your furry friend. The good news is there is a solution to this problem. Your quality water company at the Lake of the Ozarks is here to give you a few possible examples of problems that could be associated with your dog’s water. To get quality water for your four legged family member, call Culligan at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Possible Problems with Your Dog's Drinking Water

Having quality drinking water on a day to day basis is a must for your dog's health. Without water, your dog could get dehydrated, which could lead to serious health issues for your dog. Water makes up 80 percent of your dog’s body. Your dog may be dehydrated if you notice one of the following signs:

• Depression
• Sunken eyes
• Dry mouth
• Lethargy
• Loss of appetite

Too often dogs are getting water from the wrong sources and preventing your dog from reaching water from these types of sources can improve their health.

Poor Sources for Your Dog’s Drinking Water

• Toilet

Keep your toilet closed! Not only is the water in there bad for your dog, but if your dog gets stuck there is a possibility he or she could drown.

• Dirty puddles

You clearly wouldn’t want to drink from a dirty puddle so why should your dog? There could be all sorts of bacteria and germs in that water that your dog could be assuming.

• Tap water

Your tap water could have chemicals in it that are harmful to your dog. To see what’s in your tap water, try our free water test. To schedule a free water analysis with your Culligan Man, visit http://culliganpro.com/free-in-home-water-test.

• The Lake

Most people know not to drink lake water, but your dog doesn’t necessarily know. The lake could contain many harmful bacteria that could make your four legged friend sick, so it’s best to keep him or her away from the lake water.

• Garden Hose

The garden hose is using your tap water. See above for why your dog shouldn’t drink tap water.

• Public dog bowls at dog parks

You never know what dogs have drank out of the public dog bowl at the dog park. They could have been sick and spread their germs/illness through that bowl a number of times. Carry a spare source of water for your dog when you go to the dog park, bring a portable dog bowl and a bottle of quality drinking water.
