Why don't dogs drink water when they have diarrhea?

1, environmental protection considerations

The feces of dogs with diarrhea contain a lot of germs and viruses, which will bring serious environmental pollution problems if they are directly discharged into sewers. In order to protect the environment, stopping water is a necessary measure.

In addition, dog feces will also contain high concentrations of harmful substances such as nitrogen and phosphorus. If it is directly discharged into the sewer, it will not only pollute the environment, but also pollute the water source, seriously affecting the health and life safety of the people.

2. Prevent cross infection

Dog feces with loose bowels contain a lot of bacteria and viruses, which will increase the treatment difficulty of sewage treatment plants and be highly contagious. Therefore, stopping water supply can also effectively prevent cross-infection.

In order to reduce the spread of pathogens, some cities will require dog owners to give special treatment to dogs after diarrhea to prevent feces from flowing into sewers and the environment. If the corresponding measures are not implemented, it will have a negative impact on public health and cause the outbreak of various infectious diseases.

3. Cleanliness and hygiene

After a dog has loose bowels, the stool will become thin and easy to splash on the surrounding ground or walls. In order to keep the public space clean and hygienic, it is also necessary to stop water.

During the water cut-off, relevant departments will carry out special cleaning and disinfection work to ensure environmental hygiene and health.

Dog owners should form good habits.

After a dog has loose bowels, the dog owner should promptly dispose of its feces, and shall not discard it at will or directly discharge it into the sewer. The treatment requirements during the water cut-off period are only a way of publicity and education for dog owners to develop good hygiene habits.

In addition, the relevant departments can also strengthen the publicity and training of dog owners in combination with the treatment requirements during the water cut-off period, improve the quality and level of their dogs, and avoid the adverse impact of dog diarrhea on the environment and public health.
