Thinking about taking my dog to the ocean, BUT

External Since: May 12, 2005 Posts: 3

I read a story once about a dog dying from drinking too much saltwater
on a family trip to the ocean. Of course, the story might not have
been true, but I don't see why it couldn't have been. So, I guess the
question is... for those of you who take your dogs to the ocean, how do
you keep them from drinking the salt water? I *know* my dog would
attempt to drink it, but do they normally stop after they taste how
salty it is?

My first dog drank enough to make himself vomit. But suffered no ill
effects at all. All dogs since then enjoy a splash and a swim, but I
have never noticed them drinking it in any quantity. Take your dog -
have fun - they love it :-))
