This guy i work with runs a bunch of deer dogs and he said he goes to wal mart and bought a box of the chlorene tablets the lil ones about the size of a quarter. And he said he cuts them up and just puts a sliver in his dogs water buckets and never has to clean em or anything. Hes been doing this almost a year now. Anyone heard of it?

You can use regular household bleach in their buckets.Been doing it for 20+years with no problem . Make sure whatever you decide to use you use the proper amount.Guessing can be costly!!!!!!!!! It does not affect the copper pipe either that is in their bucket for the females.

No not kidding.Been doing it for years with no problem but you do have to let the dogs go through a heat cycle.

BSeeker, you need to do a separate thread about this and go into more detail!! Like when do you take the pipe out, how it works, . . . .

So I quess the best thing to do is leave it in during huntin season so you can hunt them and take it out during the off season? Sounds like a good idea but I wouldnt think it would be healthy to leave it in for the rest of their life. I would think if you never let them go in heat it would destroy their liver from iron in their system. My grandfather had to have a liver transplant from to much iron in his system. The doctor told him it wasnt a normal thing for women to get it because they loose iron during "that time of the month". Not tryin to talk nasty or nothin thats just a thought.
