Your puppy will drink enough water through the day to sustain it through the night so you are not doing anything wrong by picking it up. |
our water is always down and we have a bowl in EVERY room in the house 24/7.... just in case they get shut in a room for a bit if were out - or they lock themselves in.....
our food goes down and our dogs eat straight away, they always have.... we never leave it down all day - they get 2 meals a day then garden straight after - worked perfectly for us
thats why i ant understand why people leave food down all day -how does tehe dog have a 'garden' routine!!?
as for water again - you should keep water down 24/7 for your dogs =- its not fair on them going without
