If the dog really likes this then how is it going to stop and if not, how do you know when to stop it? old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

I guess that over consumption of water could lead to the same kinds of problems it can in people. But IMHO they would have to be drinking a LOT of water for it to cause any sort of problem.

For those guys it's all about portion control, usually I didn't allow them more than 1- 2 cups of water at a time and never in association with dry meals. Personally my dogs just won't drink baited broth water. They do however like unsweetened teas like the non caffeine ones happily and since we have ice tea on hand at all times at the house it just seems to work slightly better for us. Just like with all things some dogs just are different.

My dog always pees on the white stone curb next to my building, so I get a pretty good idea, lol. You haven't lived until you need to collect a urine sample though . My dog was a "drink until he pukes" kinda guy on kibble, and now that he's switched to raw he hardly drinks anything. It's interesting. I just ordered Ice Pups, and I'm thinking maybe I can give him those throughout the day in ice form to keep him hydrated. Hopefully he will regulate his drinking at some point. He won't drink baited water.

I offer it in managed amounts (about a quart at a time in the winter). Most dogs will just puke if they over drink but you might want to meter the amounts if you have one that "over-jugs".
