Dribbly Puppy

[TheresaW]

Every time Luna has a drink, she dribbles water all over the floor as she walks away.

The kitchen floor constantly has puddles on it. At first we thought she was weeing, but have been watching, and it is definitely water. She’ll often come into the living room after a drink, come for a fuss, and drop water on us too.

Could it be caused by teething, or is she just a messy drinker?

Is she a lab?, all of ours do this and then wipe their chins on you, lol.

 

[TheresaW]

No, she’s a husky! Sounds similar though

sounds pretty normal to me...my kitchen floor is always wet near the water bowls as both of mine are messy drinkers

 

[TheresaW]

Thank you. I guess we’ve been spoilt by Aled who is a very tidy drinker, ha ha.

My Great Swiss Mountain Dog leaves a wet trail all over the kitchen floor ..... my Collie is much tidier!

Was going to suggest teething. Obie was terrible when he was teething for dibbling everything. Once his front teeth came in it stopped... unless I don't trim his beard then it's water everywhere

My 9.5 year old GSD leaves a river across the floor every time she drinks, so I wouldn't hold your breath with regard to it just being a puppy thing.

 

[TheresaW]

Oh well, will have to live it with then. Just annoying when you go in the kitchen in just my socks. 😂

Very normal, haha!! I have a neat and tidy drinker and a spread it about drinker....both the same breed!

Never in your socks, always wear slippers or maybe wellies!

Bear does this, his jowls at the back of his mouth are too loose and he makes a right mess. You can see here how untidy his mouth is, far too much loose skin.

He is gorgeous, dribbles or not.

The daughter's vizla does the same, big drink = big trail of water across the kitchen!

Thank you. He's my dog of a lifetime, I'm ridiculously soppy over him. He's permanently on my knee if I'm sat down and sulks if Zak gets there first!

But never, never in crocs. I wear mine in the house and if there is a mess near the water bowls on a hard surface I go head over tail. You think I'd learn but it happens all too regularly lol.

 

[Chiffy]

Ooh dear WGSD, perhaps you need a crash hat and body protector too! Dangerous things these dogs!

I too have one messy and one tidy drinker. The messy is so messy that the (smaller) tidy sometimes doesn't bother to the bowl but just laps up the water from the floor ...
