I remember many years ago - in excess of 50 years.....my grndma used to put rock sulphur in the dogs water. She said it was to keep the water fresh and I'm nearly sure she said it was to cool the blood. The dog was called Nell....and we used to call her Nelly Blump, smelly trump, becuase after drinking this water her back end wind was very smelly.

Thinking about it...... we used to get a dose of treacle and sulphur to stop us getting heat bumps too - then we had the same odour problems as the dog
