Why does my dog drink so much when he comes home from a boarding or grooming kennel or veterinary hospital?
We provide all pets with fresh, clean, cool water at all times. Your dog may be excited to see you and may drink excessive amounts of water when returning home. This is normal dog behavior but it may cause your dog to vomit. We recommend that you offer smaller amounts or water every few minutes until he calms down. You may want to put some ice cubes & a little water into his dish. The ice cubes will provide him with just enough fresh water as they melt.
