    I have a recirculating water fountain, it needs refilled once a day unless the dogs have been chewing large bones, that makes them extra thirsty so it need changed more in those cases.

    Per day?

    Just once a day.

    We have a big bucket for them all to drink out of.
    They drink a lot, though....I'd say 2-3 times a day.

    We have a large bucket and I probably change it around 3x's/day. Not because they drink all the water, but because Bon leaves so much slime it in

    We've never had to change their water because it's never been there long enough for it to needed changing - however, we fill it atleast 5 times a day. Three thirsty Muttlies - it gets low a lot!

    Well sammy will drink the whole bowl in one sitting!! so 2 or 3 times a day, depending on how thirsty he is. Molli doesn't drink very much.

    I don't know how many times per day I change their water bowls. I have three large water bowls, one in the kitchen, one in the living room, and one in my bedroom. I fill them whenever I see them getting low. I'd guess I change each of them twice a day.

    I never need to change the water here. But I do fill it probably 3 times a day...Harlee empties it dry...I feel like I am ALWAYS filling up her water bowl!! She actually runs to the water bowl, when she sees me filling it, silly dog!!

    Anna66~ I use to have to change Dale's water bowl, for the same reason as you...Dale's slobber Yuck!! Harlee must drink more than he did, b/c I don't have the slime factor, as I did with him...her's is just always empty

    I usually clean/fill Blaze's waterbowl twice a day, more in the summer when he gets really thirsty.


    Thanks Kay!!

    About 3 times a day, just to keep it fresh, and when it is getting low.
