My dogs unusal drinking habits!?

Question

I have Pugs-Pekanise mix, (he'swonderful), we keep his water bowl full & fresh. But his favorite "drinking hole", is from my wifes "running waterfall fountain"!! It has no chemicals or alge growth (totally clean), but he drinks it dry at times, while his water bowl, sets nearby! What is the attraction? Our other dog drinks from the regular drinking bowl! Just a bit unusual??

Answer 1

The constant moving of the fountain water makes it taste better!  They actually make pet drinking fountains!

Answer 2

I can't explain it....but know you're not alone.

No matter how many different drinking bowls we put out, my old dog only drank running water...eg. tap, drinking fountain at park, water feature, etc....never water from the bowl.

Answer 3

It is simply that, an attraction, or distraction. May be nothing more than entertaining itself. Love them lots, and god bless! p.s. do not look for trouble where there is none. LOL
