Yorkie Thirst

Question:
 Hi everyone,
I am a proud new yorkie owner and love this website. There are many helpful tips I have found.
There is question I have about how much water do they drink throught the day. My guy who is 4 months old now seem to drink about 1 & 1/2 cups(rough estimate) of water a day. Is this about right?
The funny thing is that most of it goes in one end and right out the other. Seems that way anyhow :)
Thanks, Julio

Answer:
 That seems quiet a bit to me. My 4 yorkies drinks about two cups a day between them.one of my little males drinks so much in the morning when he gets out of his crate that he throws it back up.

Answer:
 Yea, there are times he drinks less. But from what I have read here and other places it varies. He seems fine and the vet says he was ok.

Answer:
 I think your pup is drinking about the right amount of water.
I have about 32 ounces out (two water bowls) -- and my two dogs drink it in about two days - give or take - it varies!
To some extent the amount of water they drink must depend on the temperature, their activity level, and whatever foods they have been eating.

PS - YES - it does go right through..... darn!

Answer:
 Hi,
His drinking seems to be less lately, he was drinking more when he was running around like crazy. I guess it was the increased activity.
Thanks, Julio

Answer:
 How can I get my pup to drink more water? I am going to try one of those drinking bottles you use in cages. Only time I can really get it in him is when I mix it with food.
