7 facts about drinking water for dogs
We know that water is the elixir of life for us. But do our dogs need drinking water? If so how much? When should we give them water? 7 facts about dog drinking water are listed below.
1. Dogs need water to sustain themselves. Dogs should be fed fresh water at least 3 times a day. It is said that they need at least 2 ml for every kilogram they weigh, or at least 2.5 times the daily food they consume.
2. More water should be provided when your dog eats more dry food. The need for water is not as great for raw or canned food.
3. Dogs prefer cold water. Water temperature should be determined by weather, amount of exercise, degree of exercise, age and how much your dog’s kidneys can handle.
4. Snow as a substitute for water is unacceptable and can be dangerous as it is contaminated. You can give homemade ice cubes as treats if your dog likes frozen water.
5. During housebreaking, leave the bowl of water for about 10 minutes and give about 3-4 hours and take your puppy out. Give your puppy water about 3 hours before bedtime.
6. Pay attention to how much water your dog drinks. If your dog is drinking unusually more or less water than his normal amount, these may be signs of unwellness.
7. Do not allow your dog to drink large amounts of water after physical activity or exercise to avoid water intoxication.
