180. Water bottles are cruel for puppies?

Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore

Pet shops in Singapore selling puppies usually recommend water bottles for puppies. There are concerns from animal welfare people that the use of water bottles is a cruel way of providing water to the puppy.

Puppies kept confined in a crate sometimes play with the water bowl wetting themselves and the crate. Skin diseases may present on wet skin. More work needs to be done to clean up or dry up the puppy. Bowls get chewed. The playpen or crate may not have much space for water bowls.



In such situations of limited living space, a water bottle seems useful. Each puppy owner has to decide what they want to do. A water bottle or a water bowl?
