The dogs were seized at 7am. No dog requires water in their crates overnight. Sorry, this argument does not carry water with me.

It has worked for my GSD to always have food available at all times to nibble on but he is fed his canned with his dry once a day in the evening. However, he has the best dog food available with no connection to Diamond Food. I know all dogs are different but they will always need access to water. Unlike a human a dog is not able to get a drink of water if we do not offer it.

If I did not only would they weigh 150 pounds but I'd have a lake in my house as they cheerfully wallowed in it. Where does it say we are to have access 24/7 to food and water? My horses don't have access to hay all day long either although I do have full water troughs.
