My dogs are drinking water from the pool

Yeah, I had a little tortie who was terror on mice, chipmunks and squirrels, but she wouldn't take on a raccoon. Our Belgian Terv would...I so her go down a chuck hole after a ground hog. I heard a scream and her nose came out bloody--but it wasn't her screaming. He just got her fire going and she was just getting warmed up...had to drag her out of there. Only two things in the world scared her: Thunder and German Shepherds. Not Akitas, or Dobermans or even Irish Wolfhounds, just German Shepherds (A big male nearly killed her once for no good reason, a 150lb monster. It's very rare for male dogs to attack females).

The tortie and the Terv ended up best friends, sleeping together, going on walks together.

my dog drinks ocean water! salt won't hurt them, especially not the level in a SWCG pool. mine will sometimes get the runs after an ocean swim- and then we make sure she has plenty fresh water afterward to prevent dehydration/heat exhaustion (happened last year, if it happens again I think I'll use the gun on my wife and get the dog fixed! lol)

16 years of pool drinking dogs here.

Only lost one - he slipped into the cover water one December.

How awful that must have been for all of you.

Especially the dog.

the dog took it fairly well- didn't like them drawing blood, but there were concerns of kidney damage...
wife was hysterical- she didn't even want the dog, now she can't stand to think about losing her!

Our pit drinks when we are in it playing. We have an AG pool so no access unless we are on deck with here. We just lost another dog to a copperhead memorial weekend,she was a small Jack Russel and the wife was hysterical. Terrible situation.

The pit has to pee alot after pool time,usually in the middle of the night.
