Do any others do this?

Post by kam »

My Mister is drinking water out of toilet and can't stop him, he has 2 water dishes and a pond.
he will drink out of pond at times but never his water dishes he just knocks them over and plays in water.
He plays in our little pond, I kept my house temp set at 70 for the ( boys ), but mister will run out and jump in pond
and come thru doggie door sopping wet on my carpet, guess it's time for wood floors or tile.
I know to keep bathroom doors shut, but with grandkids and company they get in the bathroom, now Mister paws at door when he wants drink.
He now has taught our other dog to drink out of the bathroom :mrgreen:
I now do not put any products in my toilets that can hurt them, I just was wondering if any others had this issue?

Thanks Kam

Maxine occasionally will drink out of the toilet, I imagine is is because the porcelain keep the water colder. I am not to worried, the toilets are cleaner than the puddles she likes to drink out of.

Nikki tried it but the toilet seat lid came down and hit her on the head and that was it for her. She won't go near the bathrooms now. Not even to lay on the tile ..
But that might help just keeping the lid down if shes pawing at the door.

Pip sometimes, I do not allow access. Pip got into the habit of taking everything out of the waste basket in the bathroom, looking for disgusting treasure, so I monitor for that, and the toilet is blocked along with the trash.

Nahkohe will check out the toilet bowl but has never drank from it (yet). We make sure their water bowl is full but I don't think that would matter if he got more curious about the "bowl".
If you're not putting anything in the bowl, I guess it would not be a health issue :-?
