Giving your dog water when out on a walk..

[LisaRN]

Whenever we go for a walk, or more likely the case for Chester - attend one of my daughter's sporting events and take him.. he will only drink out of a water bottle. We've tried taking a bottle/bowl set up that is made for dogs..but nope, he wants to drink straight from the bottle. And it's spring water of course!

What a spoiled baby bully Chester is

we bought those collapsable dog travel bowls for Horse when he was a puppy, and his head quickly grew too big to eat or drink from them! I actually bought Horse his own Kleen Kanteen stainless steel water bottle with the spout top that we bring everywhere with us (yes, it was about $20, but it's way better than having to keep buying the plastic water bottles, which you aren't supposed to refill because of the chemicals in the plastic getting into the water and the plastic can harbor germs if you reuse the bottle.
@%1;[MENTION=530]LisaRN[/MENTION]@%1; I know what you're saying though, Horse loves to drink out of a bottle with a spout.

we have that bottle/ bowl from petsmart works great ... but if we're at a baseball game or where ever he would rather just drink it from the bottle

When we walk...I have a pouch in my water bottle holder that I take Benadryl, Lemon Juice and granola bars for my bulldogs. Never want to be out and one get stung and away from Benadryl. The Lemon Juice for flem...and Granola bars for sugar levels to stay up. It's odd having an Australian Shepherd...she don't need any of that...just the water that we also pack for the dogs.

Not sure if she would drink from a bottle. My bulldogs have. Tank prefers it actually but we also have a canteen for hiking...The top is a sports top. And it has a side bowl that comes off. So when walking the bulldogs I can give Sarge water in the bowl and Tank drinks from the actual canteen.

Our dog canteen has a shoulder strap. But we carry extra bottles of water in our backpacks. Sarge doesn't always like drinking from a bottle.

My boys will drink from a water bottle but really like drinking from our nearby mountain creek where they can wade in and drink! Their 2nd choice would be drinking from Wallowa Lake and/or Wallowa River!
