can a dog drink water with this on?

no one ever advised me of any risk... my dog drinks and eats... The one thing I do caution people is please don't use the shock but one short press... My poor little dog did a flip the first time I used it... and I was trying to be careful because I used it on myself first so I knew how it hurts... and it does hurt... I've had to use the shock a total of 4 times... and then I was using the vibrate when needed... Its been quite some time since I needed to do any thing but say, Girl... come on over here to me... you're getting further than I want you... stuff like that... she understands there can be a consequence so I don't have to do anything else but be there... so please be kind in your use of the shock function and don't use it more than you absolutely have to.

Gosh, I haven't tried that. It may help if you use a smaller size than the dog needs for food. Is the gulping a problem after exercise or all the time? If it causes regurgitation you may want to just give a little at a time. Excess thirst can be a sign of health issues so it might be best to talk to your Vet first. Sometimes dogs just drink like blenders and are not actually getting as much as the noise and dribbles indicate.Good luck!

Trust me if the dog gets thirsty they will smell water and there is always a drop of water near the tip of the bottle that will attract them. Hopefully you will not be crating your dog for such a long period of time that they will get dehyrated if they do not drink while actually in the crate. Hope that makes sense.

I can't say for certain that this dispenser will work for a Pug, but I think it would be fine. I would estimate that the dispenser part that the dog drinks from is approximately 3 1/2 to 4 inches wide; the dog can access it from the end or either side. If you fill it with water, then the dog doesn't really need to put its face into the dispenser; it's more like the dog could simply get near it and lap the water up with its tongue. I hope I'm describing this clearly.

I would think it would work for water also. Just don't fill it too full and I think he would have to lap it slowly because of the design. It has made a huge difference on slowing my pup down while eating. Good luck!

No it will not, unless it has a very wide mouth. This is a self contained filtering straw, you can use it to drink out of a glass.

Most likely not. I have four dogs, and my most recent addition (a sloppy drinking English bulldog) makes a complete mess during and after drinking from this bowl. He loves the bowl and water, but I need to put a larger mat under it because water goes everywhere when he's around. Don't have this problem with the other dogs.

The drinking area is about 3" square. The water is fairly shallow so it would most likely be difficult for your dog to play too much.

Yes. I have dogs & cats who sometimes drink from the same water dish and I bought this product because it was safe for everyone.

as long as you get the correct size for your dog it should fit, you can adjust the strap to make it as wide as you'd like. you should make it just loose enough for the dog to lap up water.

Good luck. I know that my dog loves it and it is the only kind that she will drink out of:)

I would think that as long as you get the appropriate size bowl, the projections inside the bowl would help with that as well. The projections inside the bowl prevent the dog from sticking his whole snout inside the bowl, and that would work for water too as long as the bowl was the proper size for the size of the dog-notice that the bowl does come in different sizes.

No just fill the bottle, as animal drinks the bottle brings the water level back up, it's a no brainer. I love it. Lasts about 7 days or more.

I never tried that. I stopped carrying the bowl part because my dog likes me to just squirt a stream of water out and he drinks it like drinking from a garden hose. The bottle holds a good amount though, and you could just put a small amount of it in the bowl at a time. I don't think you might want to put the used water back in there considering the germ factor.

No it would be fine, but hopefully you won't leave your pets without water!

If u mean with rain yes,But don't let ur dog swim wearing it and expected to work .. :P I didn't try it that way coz I'm sure it won't work after that ^.^

Probably. Freshly filled, the water surface is 1 1/4 below the top of the bowl. If your bulldog's tongue is longer than that, he or she should be able to lap up some water. Pointy nosed dogs like mine with long tongues can lap up water even when the waterer needs refilling.
