 My new 3 year old boy has decided that dropping toys in the toilet and then "fishing" for them is great fun! He splashes half the water out on the floor in the process. Now I know folks will say, "Just put the lid down". Haha...easy to say, but not easy to accomplish with a son and husband.  What is up with that behavior? LOL...I never had a dog do such a thing before.

"What's up" is that it is obviously fun for the dog. How about just keeping the door closed. And if the husband and son can't do that either, THEY can clean up the mess!

TOILETS ARE NOT THE SAFEST PLACE FOR YOUR DOGS HEAD TO BE.

FILTHY WATER AND EVEN HEALTH EXPERTS POSTED WARNINGS LAST SUMMER,,,WHEN YOU FLUSH YOUR TOILET , MAKE SURE THE TOOTHBRUSH IS NO WHERE IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA...THE FINE MIST OF GERMS IN THE WATER THAT FLOATS UPWARDS CAN CONTAMINATE THE WHOLE AREA.

KEEP THE DOG OUT OF THE TOILET.....FILTHY GERMS AND IF YOU USE A CLEANER THAT IS WORSE...
CHEMICAL POISONING CAN HAPPEN IF SOMEONE DIDNT RINSE THE TOILET...

I HAVE A FRIEND WHO LET HER MALE DRINK OUT OF THEIR TOILET..WHEN SHE BOUGHT MY FEMALE , I VISITED ONE DAY AND I GOT INTO A NICE ARGUMENT WITH HER..

SHE SAID DOGS EAT THEIR OWN POOP SO WHY WORRY.....DISGUSTING  IS ALL I CAN SAY.
IF YOU ARE THAT NIEVE,,,NOTHING ELSE TO SAY.   i GUESS IT OKAY TO LET YOUR BABY PLAY IN THE TOILET IF HE HAS NOTHING ELSE TO DO..?

HUBBY AND KID NEED A LESSON ...MAKE THEM CLEAN THE MESS UP IS THE BEST SUGGESTION HERE TODAY....

BEST OTHER IS TO CLOSE THE TOILET............THE DOG HAS ALREADY LEARNED THE BAD HABIT ,SO NOW YOU HAVE TWO KIDS TO  UNDO A LEARNED BEHAVIOUR....

 I had a dog that liked to drop his big Kongs in the toilet.  ONLY Kongs. And two or three of them at a time.   I think he liked the splash!!  He always looked so pleased with himself...    Putting the lid down did nothing, he simply flipped it up!   This is a dog who  was so strong, he would toss the sleeve in the air and catch it.   I finally just banned Kongs to the classification of "outside toys,"  versus inside toys.

YES , A STONG DETERMINED GSD CAN OPEN THE LID OF A TOILET...MY FRIENDS DOG DID JUST THAT.

SHE FINALLY JUST BANNED THE DOGS IN THE BATHROOM ., PERIOD AND KONGS OUTSIDE ., ALSO.

I knew someone whose GSD would ONLY drink out of their toilet until I realized how clean that porcelain bowl was compared to his drinking bowl!

 Of course these studies might cause one to wonder if there is even a modicum of improvement for dogs drinking tap water.

MEDS LURKING IN DRINKING WATER from MSNBC

Members of the AP National Investigative Team reviewed hundreds of scientific reports, analyzed federal drinking water databases, visited environmental study sites and treatment plants and interviewed more than 230 officials, academics and scientists. They also surveyed the nation’s 50 largest cities and a dozen other major water providers, as well as smaller community water providers in all 50 states.

Key findings
Here are some of the key test results obtained by the AP:
