[nagdu] Adding water to food.

[Brandydp]

My school and vet both say that dry is best to help clean the teeth. However, if a dog is a power bone chewer this may not be as important. Both my yellow lab and poodle hardly ever chewed bones. Pinta is a little more of a chewer, but I still just give her the dry kimble.

> The only time GDF recommends adding water is if the dog eats too fast. As for leaving water out, it depends on the dog, but after three months, I started leaving water out. Faye rarely drinks out of her schedule, but it is good for her to choose when she wants it. Sometimes after hard playing, she will go get water and that is the sign she is done.

>> I was just wondering if all the schools recommend that you add a little warm water to your dog's food? What are the benefits of this? Does it keep them full longer?
>> Do you still follow this practice when you get home with your dog?
>> Also, do you leave water out all day for your guide dog at home, or do you still give them water on a schedule (even after being home for a while).
>> Just curious as to what others do. Thanks!
