Dogs can have pretty gross habits and one of those may even include drinking out of the toilet. Habits or behaviors can be dangerous while others are harmless. If your dog drinks from your toilet you may want to call up your vet just to discuss the pros and cons. In general, drinking from a regularly flushed toilet is not necessarily dangerous or harmful for your pup. Your vet will most likely tell you that a toilet that is rarely used or does not flush properly may not be the safest water source for your dog. Toilets such as these most likely contain stagnant or dirty water containing harmful bacteria that can cause gastrointestinal problems in your dog. Discourage your dog from drinking out of toilets that use drop-in cleaning tablets as well. If your dog drinks contaminated toilet water, please give your pet clinic Valley Center, KS a call.
