Question
I am looking after a chocolate lab about 110lbs 8 years old. He does not seem to drink very much water. What is the usual amount and how often.
tku, mike

Answer
Hello Michael and thank you for your question,

My 3 year old spayed female...70 pounds drinks alot during the day and slops it all over the floor I might add lol, I'd say about 2/3 gallons a day for a dog of that size... but don't qoute me on this its only a guess because my lab drinks a 4 cup bowl in 1 minute many times a day.
