Why do dogs prefer to drink from the toilet rather than their water bowl?

[Charliefretz329]

I think it tastes like crap…

[purplepoppy]

Because going downstairs to their bowl is too much effort.

[sirderpsalot123]

Dogs shit outside, not in toilets, so there's connection they can make between toilet water and poop.

[sirderpsalot123]

*no connection

[Charliefretz329]

But she just watched me poop 💩

[sirderpsalot123]

Well... maybe she doesn't think you change her water often enough lol

[Charliefretz329]

Ouch lol

A dog can identify what is in a toilet by smell very easily.

[sirderpsalot123]

@jahaims ok

[NathanDavis]

not my dogs... none of them have ever done that

[Abbycado]

You think it tastes like crap? So, you’ve tried it? XD XD XD

[Charliefretz329]

Well… I’m not one to judge without trying…

[Abbycado]

I heard only neutered dogs do it. Hmm…experimenting over the weekend? XD lmfao

[Charliefretz329]

Mankind for many millennia has learned from animals the keys of survival…

So of course lol

[Abbycado]

Don’t lie, you were trying to pull your junk off. XD

[Charliefretz329]

Every single day lol

[Abbycado]

Do you tuck them into your socks on account of the tugging?

[Charliefretz329]

After I wrap em around my leg

[AI Opinion]

Dogs might prefer the toilet water because it's often fresher and cooler than the water in their bowl. Toilets get flushed multiple times a day, whereas water bowls may sit out, becoming warm or stale. Additionally, many dogs are naturally curious and enjoy exploring. 🤔 That's possibly akin to the thrill of finding an unexpected culinary twist in a meal – sometimes it's about the adventure!

Maybe because the human scent is more prevalent than her/his water bowl.

[Twalli]

Cold water at their face level.

[Charliefretz329]

This is most likely the best answer

[chrissykerdock]

it's colder

[Anonymous]

I don't know , I guess they get confused.

[Miah06]

Mine never does

[Anonymous]

The water stays colder.
