**Dogs Love Drinking from Toilet Bowls🚽 - It's Truly Nauseating. We've provided a water bowl for them, so why do they still prefer toilet water❓**

1⃣️ **To Dogs, Toilets = Extra-Large Water Dispensers🆒**
For some medium to large dogs 🐕‍🦺, the toilet's height is the perfect custom-fit drinking spot. They don’t have to "bend over" at a water bowl. If you were them, you'd pick toilet water too [Secretly ObservingR]~

2⃣️ **Dogs Prefer Flowing "Live Water"🌊**
Most pet owners fill their dog's water bowl and leave it for a full day. However, dogs' ancestors thrived in the wild, drinking from springs, creeks, and rivers🏞 – all sources of flowing water. Your frequently flushed toilet 🚽 mimics "live water" to dogs, while the water bowl seems like stagnant "dead" water.

3⃣️ **The Bathroom is Cooler~**
In hot summer weather, the bathroom tends to be cooler🧊. Dogs love drinking toilet water just like we love drinking fridge-chilled water in summer - it's refreshing [Thumbs UpR]!

4⃣️ **How to Stop Dogs from Drinking Toilet Water❓**
① Close the toilet lid to stop them from drinking toilet water from the source❌!
② Keep the bathroom door closed🚫. But if your dog can both open doors and toilet lids, maybe it’s time to send them to college.
③ Change the water in their bowl frequently🚰, give them "live" water too. Raise the water bowl to make it more attractive, reducing their desire for toilet water~

Dog Diet Chart 📋 A List of Foods Dogs Can and Can't Eat

New dog owners often ask me if this or that can be fed to dogs. Today, let me share some common foods that dogs can and cannot eat. Even though some foods may be favorites, they can be harmful to their health. As pet parents, we must remember these harmful foods to protect our dogs' health‼️ ## ✅ Foods Dogs Can Eat 👉 Fruits: Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, apples, bananas, watermelon, kiwi, pears, papaya, cantaloupe, dragon fruit, coconut meat 👉 Vegetables: Carrots, white radish, yam, broccoli, pumpkin, purple sweet potatoes, potatoes, spinach, cabbage, lettuce, Brussels sprouts, kale, okra, bell peppers 👉 Meats: Boneless fish, skinless chicken, skinless duck, beef ## ❌ Foods Dogs Should Not Eat 👉 Fruits: Cherries, grapes, raisins, passion fruit, sugar cane, avocado, lemon, starfruit, apricots, pomegranate, guava 👉 Vegetables: Onions, scallions, leeks, garlic, garlic sprouts, yellow chives, bean sprouts, chili peppers 👉 Others: Chocolate, xylitol, poultry bones, milk (lactose-intolerant dogs should avoid) ## ⭕️ Fruits That Are Edible but Not Recommended Mango, pineapple, loquat, durian, lychee, bayberry ## 🐶 About Foods Dogs Can Eat: All foods should be given in moderation. Avoid overfeeding, especially if it's the first time. Test with small amounts to check for allergies or any adverse reactions. Steam vegetables and meat for better nutrient retention than boiling. ## 🐶 About Foods Dogs Should Not Eat: Discussing toxicity without considering the dosage is unreliable. Some people might wonder why their dogs seem fine after occasionally eating prohibited foods. This is because the ingested amount did not reach toxic levels. Each dog is different, with varying tolerances. If your dog accidentally eats something it shouldn't, there's no need to panic. Just monitor its bowel movements. However, these foods shouldn't be given regularly as they pose risks when accumulated over time. #MyPetCareRoutine [Topic]# #DogTrivia [Topic]# #DogDiet [Topic]# #FoodsDogsShouldNotEat [Topic]# #FoodsDogsCanEat [Topic]#
