They do it for several reasons. One, it is naturally cooled. The porcelain keeps the water cold. Two, the toilet is constantly being flushed, which means always fresh water. For the most part, the toilet is fairly clean. Although, we wouldn't drink out of it, they don't seem to mind. I invested in a electric drinker, that plugs in, and circulates the water through a filter. The water naturally cools, and it tastes great. It has a slope the water runs down, so it sounds more like fresh running water. It cost about 30 dollars. My dog and cat love it. They drink more water, because it's not stale, just sitting in a dish.

One of my dogs drinks out of the commode. After some investigating, I found that she does this when her water bowl is empty or nearly empty. I started checking her water more frequently to be sure she always has water and she hasn't gotten a drink from the commode since.
If you are away for long period (at work) try using a larger bowl or pot so your dog has plenty of water during the day.

properly i will assist you to recognize its no longer by way of fact its "cleanser", "chillier" or any of the variety. Cats and canines dont like the chlorine or fluoride scent of faucet water, Im uncertain in case you have observed that your pets water bowl constantly has airborne dirt and airborne dirt and dust, nutrition in it? properly its no longer an acciedent, they placed stuff into their water bowls to mask the clorine scent, canines and cats additionally like working water as adverse to nonetheless water. What Ive executed is went to PetsMart to purchase a "puppy water fountain"- its a water bowl that has the water fountain down, they like it and constantly drink from the falling water. i'd placed money right into a type of by way of fact eating from the rest room isn't sanitary and could be risky on your canines' wellbeing.

animals are smart creatures and they love their fresh water and when you don't give your pets freah water every day and don't let them outside they go to the next source (the toilet)which is toxic not only to your pet but also you and your family
