How to get my dog to stop drinking from our pool?

Posted by on . One comment.


We have a salt water pool and my dog has gotten use to just drinking from there. But a couple of days ago we decided not to let her drink from there anymore. We want her to drink from her bowl but she's just NOT having it. She literally will try to sneak a drink from the pool or spa even when we say no. We've tried the ice trick but that doesn't work. I feel bad because she's really thirsty but will not drink from 3 dog bowls we have for her.



Any suggestions?

    Where do you get your water from? the tap?
    Try Rain water, dogs who have never had the chance to drink "real" water go nuts when they taste it, if you take them somewhere theres a creek runing out of the mountains they will drink and drink and drink just beacause it tastes sooooooo good!

    try covering the pools or closing the gate to them so the dog can’t get there… surely there are laws saying you have to protect Kids from drowning in the pool by having fences, they should keep dogs out too, unles it’d a fresh running water system that comes out of a spring or from the hills and just passes right through and out the other side… those are cool pools, litterally fricken freezing!
