Congratulations, your baby will capture your heart each day in a new way! Bullies drink tons of water, I have two bowls always full and always have one outside as well. I also take a bottle with me if we run errands for more than a half-hour. Teaching my bullies early on how to drink from a sports bottle was big help when we go for walks or visiting.
Congratulations on your new baby, and Welcome to EBN. You've been given great advice already. Looking forward to seeing more of you on here, and we need pictures of your baby please.
Hi ..Make sure its fresh and clean......some times it looks clean...but its snott...or gobber water.. always clean the water dish....never use plastic bowls...good luck you are going to love being a bully Mom...
Congrats on your new baby, and as others have said, leave clean water down for him 24/7. Some people say restricting water from them at night helps with potty training, don't listen to them as that is a myth. Always let them have access to water all the time, they will learn to potty outside in due time.
Well................ as you will soon learn "water fountain's" don't work real well for bully's. After they get done drinking, their water bowl is pretty much a big bowl of slimey water left. Gross I know, but get Stainless Steel bowls, 99% are allergic to plastic bowls and you have to wash it out several times a day Cant wait to see pictures of your baby!!
I don't have a great answer for you, but my bully tends to drink water like a camel. I always have fresh water for him, but when I am at home he will never spontaneously go and drink water.
When I got downstairs, or let him out to go potty in the evening, he will drink after that, but he hardly drinks at all during the day, regardless of whether I am at home or not.
I also use a stainless steel bowl, and rinse / refill it regularly. Particularly after a walk I like giving him a fresh batch of cool water.
We use Stainless Steel for Rhys and pretty much change it and rinse it with soapy water after each drink.
We swear that he's half Bullie, half Hagfish!
Bottom line: moderate amounts and frequent cleaning.
