How to Make a Dog Drink Water (When He Doesn't Want to)

Sometimes your dog won't want to drink water. Whether he's recovering from surgery or just not feeling well, you need to know how to make a dog drink water when he doesn't want to. It sounds simple, but as the old saying goes, you can lead a horse (or dog in this case) to water, but you can't make him drink.

If you already know the reason for the aversion to drinking water, you just need to find ways to entice your pup to drink. In this situation it is best to only offer small amounts of water at one time. You can increase the quantity as your dog begins to feel better. Drinking too much too quickly could cause your dog to vomit, which will make him even more dehydrated.

"You can also check your dog's gums to see if he is dehydrated. I also demonstrate this procedure in my video guide. Gently press your finger on your dog's gums until the pink color fades. If the gum doesn't pink up immediately, it is a sign that your pet is dehydrated."
