The recent weather has been constantly unpredictable. As Jin Qiwen’s lyrics say, windy at times when it’s sunny, rainy at times when it’s overcast; it’s also like “love is like the blue sky and white clouds, clear skies suddenly turning into a storm.” I feel these lyrics are absolutely right. In this fluctuating weather, during a rainy summer for us, it is also a season where dogs don’t like to drink water. I believe most dog owners have this trouble; once summer comes, dogs don’t want to drink water. So how to solve this?

It is said water is the source of all things. Actually, for dogs, water is also an indispensable substance in daily life. If your dog is not drinking water, there might be reasons. After all, we as humans also often don’t want to drink water, even in the scorching summer.

First, for safety and health considerations, you can observe your dog to see if it’s feeling unwell or might be sick. If so, it needs to be taken to the veterinary hospital. After all, we are not doctors and should be responsible for our dogs.

Secondly, the editor has raised dogs for several years and can summarize some experience. For example: dogs generally like to eat things that their owners have eaten, and drink beverages that their owners have drunk. So you can try drinking some water yourself first, then pour some out for your dog; maybe the dog will drink it.

Also, some dogs might be spoiled by their owners and dislike cold water, preferring warm water instead. At this time, you can prepare some warm water for them and see if they drink it.

The editor also has a somewhat tough method: take your dog out for a walk, let it exercise and sweat. When the dog gets thirsty, naturally it will drink water. Haha, but this might seem like forcing the dog to drink. Those owners who are worried about their dogs might need to consider this.

These are some relatively simple methods the editor has summarized!! Hope they can help all the kindhearted little owners~
