Dog Water Magazine MATURE CONTENT About Whether it’s a euphemism for pre cum, slang for inept and terrible, or literally just the water left out for the dog to lap up, all definitions of dog water encapsulate what the editors at Dog Water Magazine are looking for in your work. We want the terrible, the dirty, the foul. The editors at Dog Water Magazine feel like dog water ourselves and have routinely struggled with getting our strange poems published. With that experience in mind, we wanted to create a platform for other “dog water” writing and art because we know that the best art is often the least recognized. We want your weird shit, the work no one gets. We want your work that’s so strange, it’s not getting accepted into any other magazines. We want experimental work, work with strange themes, and work that explores insane scenarios. But most importantly, we want work that worries your family and friends.
