How often do you change your dog's water?

**Kfamr** · 12-21-2005, 08:42 PM

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

Do you mean how often do you have to refill your dogs water bowl daily?

**ParNone** · 12-22-2005, 09:00 AM

I refill it when Oz scratches on the bathroom door to let me know it's empty.

One time a day, just to keep it fresh. Our dogs don't drink much and don't spill it. Sonny prefers the fish tank for water.

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

**BC_MoM** · 12-21-2005, 10:15 PM

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

**cloverfdx** · 12-21-2005, 10:24 PM

It realy depends on the weather, at the moment the inside water is getting topped up about 5 times a day and that is even with one of those self refilling bowls. The outside big bucket gets topped up atleast once a day and a full clean out every few days.

I had to get up at 3am this morning to fill the water up in my bedroom C & E were thirsty and had cleaned the bowl right out

I change it whenever needed. Sometimes the cats play in it, and it gets a little dirty...I clean it then, or whenever they are low (atleast once a day)

Gonzo has a huge stainless steel bowl outside, 1 big ceramic bowl downstairs and one upstairs in my room, and all are re-filled every morning.

I guess he has too much water to go through.

Raustyk isn't the cleanest drinker in the world and sometimes Kaige likes to step in it so to keep the water fresh I change it at least 3-4 times a day. In the summer I change it at least 5-6 times a day to keep it fresh & cold.
