Individual preferences for scented water bowls in dogs

Findings suggest that using emulsified scented sleeves is associated with water consumption preference in pet dogs, and their preference for a scented sleeve over a non-scented one was sustained across experiments and through the 14-day data collection period. Thus, dogs prefer to consume water from water bowls with scented sleeves, which may be helpful with hydration and should be investigated in future work.

Abstract

Findings suggest that using emulsified scented sleeves is associated with water consumption preference in pet dogs, and their preference for a scented sleeve over a non-scented one was sustained across experiments and through the 14-day data collection period. Thus, dogs prefer to consume water from water bowls with scented sleeves, which may be helpful with hydration and should be investigated in future work.
