I have three dogs. A German shepard (3), German wirehaired pointer (6 months), and a shepard mutt (7). The German shepard will not drink this unless she's really hot, or I mix one scoop with the 2.5 gallon auto water bowl. The GWP doesn't mind it as much, but definitely prefers regular water. The shepard mutt (7) is just like the German shepard in that she generally won't drink it.

My golden retriever will not drink this. It seems to be something with the smell or taste. If she is extremely thirsty she still will not drink this. She walks over smells it and will walk away. I will not be buying again.

fantastic product wouldn’t take my dog in the woods without it

We hunted 60 plus days temperatures from 80 plus degrees to single digits across 4 different states with 2 setters. Alternate a bottle of hydrate and recover and a bottle of fresh water throughout the days and never lost dog power. We will not hunt without.

Our dogs wont drink it unless their are completely tired from a hunt or run. Our Collie wont even touch it then. Our lab will drink it if i carry it in a nalgene while hunting and shes very thirsty, but once at home, or even after calming down, she wont touch it. When she has drank it, i didnt notice any difference in her recovery over straight water. Itl take a while to get through this tub, and i wont be buying another.
