    I don’t think it will turn green after a couple of days, but I would change it daily to make sure there is no bacterial growth in it.

    Yes there are several things that grow in stagnant water that cause illness. Some algae is toxic as well as larvae. Water needs to be changed regularly or use a pet flow watering system.

    Your dog should get fresh water every day. It could probably make them sick, especially if it’s been sitting there for several days.

    Its probably because you change their water but dont clean their bowl properly. if your dogs drink it then it probably wont do too much harm but it is still pretty irresponcible to not change it more often

    DON”T LET THEM DRINK GREEN WATER! from what i know about wroking on lakes is that green water (or any color change in anything) means that there is a chemical change, water usually turns green from algea or bacteria. alway change dogs water daily, especially dog water

  26. Catherine Earnshaw Says:

    You should be giving your dog or dogs fresh water every day. YES, it’s a health risk! If it’s growing algae that means it’s stagnant and can be hosting other things like parasite larvae. The dog(s) should have clean water out of the tap, just like you.

  33. Pomeranian Mom Says:

    If your dogs water is “green” that means it is full of algae and toxins, not very health period.
    Your dogs water should be changed daily sometimes twice a day depending the the temperature of the area you live ~ the hotter the climate, the faster algae will grow.

  34. belladonna25 Says:

    You should provide clean drinking water to a dog daily that’s what a responsible pet owner does.

  42. Julia Says:

    I soooooo love it when negligent pet owners post questions like this, which basically amount to, “Is it OK for me to not take good care of my dog?” Usually they are angry later and say that people were rude or judgmental in their answers. People have been rude to you, and some have been a little judgmental, too. Guess what. You deserve it. It is negligent, lazy and careless not to change the dog’s water every day. Not mention dangerous and unhealthy for the dog. If you can’t spend a few seconds doing this simple thing for your pet, then pack him up and give him to someone who will take proper care of him.

  47. Liz Says:

    it’s recommended you give your dogs fresh water daily. Any water that sits longer and grows algae grows bacteria as well. Always change your dogs water daily!!

  48. DP Says:

    Are you serious?? In their water dish?? I wash our water dishes at least 2 times a day.. Rinse them thoroughly each time I put down fresh clean water.. Which is probably 6 ot 7 times a day. I have never had water turn green.. You are not putting down fresh water often enough.. Especially in this hot weather.. How lazy can someone be????
