You can let your dog cool down and get wet lips, but it has been suggested by many dogmen that you shouldn't allow a dog to gorge itself with food OR water either immediately before or after serious work. In fact, some old game dog reports talk about "sponging" the dog's mouth, head, and belly when it when working to ensure the dog is cooling down without allowing the dog to drink too much. I don't think those old time dog men of game dogs just made that stuff up. Heck, even I don't feel like working when my belly is full of water or food. And right after hard work I certainly don't want to eat a big meal. I want to cool down first. I may want some water to fight dehydration, but I don't think it is wise to engulf one's self...or to allow one's dog to do so. I do believe in good judgement. Sure, some dogs may bloat no matter what, but there is no need in INTENTIONALLY increasing the risk.
