Gracie downs loads, you hear her drinking as if her life depends on it  she is fine though. The others hardly appear to drink anything. I have to add quite a bit of water to Maddies dry food as she had problems and vet said she wasn't drinking enough, wee very yellow, smelly but no infection found. Is she fed just on dry food as I'm sure you know it tends to make them drink more. If you are concerned add some water to her food, don't soak it though. |

I know tippydrinks I've witnessed it. Try marking a water level on the bowl so you can see it drop. I know you've got teddy too but I'm sure he couldn't drink enough for both of them.

Mine are all different. Bob drinks loads - and I've had his urine tested several times because it worried me. Nelly and Sam drink a couple of times a day. For Poppy I have to take the water bowl to her (she is too lazy to help herself!). I add water to their food because it is mostly dry with a bit of meat added.

Glad its not just Gracie who drinks lots, she will lick the bowl dry but vet says she's fine, just like Bob ;D |

I was worried about this with Daisy whippet as she only seems to drink the water we add to her meals. We asked the vet about her apparent lack of drinking and he said not to worry, so long as water was available she would regulate herself. Must be a whippet Princess thing  ;D Moira x |

My two are complete opposites - Ben drinks loads but very rarely out of his water bowl, he much prefers to drain the water feature in the garden or a muddy puddle . Poppy whippet hardly drinks at all so it must definitely be a Princess Whippet thing ;D |
