Hi David and welcome to the forum.

Conventional wisdom is that a dog should have access to clean, drinking water at all times. I leave a bowl down for mine, so that he can help himself when needed.

I offer my advice freely, but I am not an expert, breeder, groomer or behaviourist. It is simply my experience of raising pups in a way that seems to make sense.

Hi David - I agree with the advice in the post above. You should leave out a bowl of drinking water for your puppy at all times as you should for an adult dog. They may not always drink at the meal time but must have access to water throughout the day. It is especially important if you feed dry food.
