What do you do about the dog drinking lake water? Do you let them? Have any of your dogs ever had problems with water pathegnins? Our last 2 dogs we never thought about it. They always drank out of the lakes and never had any issues.
If I’m portaging at a beaver dam or mucky area I have discouraged them, but most portages and in camp they have been fine drinking from the lake. Would be pretty tough to stop them.
Your dog can still get giardia, but I don't know how you'd keep them from drinking lake water. They can get lepto too, but that at least you can vaccinate for.
