    Ok, Iv got fresh RO water heating up in a plastic bucket, as you do for a water change..
    When I wasn't looking my dog drank some of the water in the bucket :eek: :angry:
    Should I change the water and heat it all up again, Or will it be ok ?

    its probally ok, if you want to be super safe you can replace it, but i wouldn't worry about it if he just drank some.

    You should be fine, I wouldn't worry about it. But if its ro/di water you may want to give him a sip of fresh water, di water will make him dehydrated. ;D

    the only way id worry about it , if he had just finished licking his &$$##@ before taking a drink.:)

    you will be okay with him drinking out of it.

    Should be okay as long as there isn't any dog food floating around in there.

    dog will be fine. water will be fine, but if it had salt mixed in already, as someone else mentioned you'll want to give the dog some freshwater to get rid of that taste and actually hydrate the dog :)
