sandymere 8,261 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Restrict water to a few laps when panting and if it stops you have an answer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

quakshot 1 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Purely too much too fast, my lab used to do it, I solved this by just filling his water bowl half full, then once he's drank that I'd do the same again until he calmed down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beast 1,884 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 make the dog wait until it has stopped panting and cooled down before giving it a drink Quote Link to post Share on other sites
