I have 5 two week old kittens that were going to go to Animal Control if we didn't take them. Now I am bottle feeding them every TWO hours and not getting any sleep. BUT my dog keeps cleaning them, and I am afraid that he might clean them too much and they might be getting dehydrated because he keeps licking their private parts constantly!

That won't cause any dehydration.
Talk to a Vet.

No, mother cats and mother dogs do it all the time. Your male dog makes a good mother!

No, he won't dehydrate them. I think he has a maternal instinct. Make sure he doesn't hurt them by accident.
