My blind collie will only drink water outside (comes out of the same faucet as the inside water dish) Dogs get flavored water on their dry food and they get a piece of jerky every night. Do not forget this or they will get you up out of bed for it. Little spoiled but I keep saying they are the last dogs we will have. If my husband really needs another dog when these two leave us, he will have to go to the geraitric section of the animal shelter for one.
