My dog doesnt drink water adequately. What should do about it?? Its summer here!!
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! I find that dogs will drink what they need. If you feed him canned food that has more water and moisture in it thus they drink less water. In warmer weather and with exercise I bet that Toby will drink more to compensate. Always having fresh waster available will allow him to drink when he is ready and needs to. You can add water gradually to his dry food to trick him in to taking in more water. If you find that this doesn't work and he doesn't drink when hot and over heats then I would have your Vet do an exam. Here are a few other tips! You can try different types of bowels and have multiple down, raise the water bowl up since he is a big dog, make sure the bowls are clean, add ice cubes to the water, purchase a water fountain, add low sodium chicken broth or bone broth to the water. Have a great day!

Hey my dog Drax wont drink enough water. I was wondering if you can help me out by telling how to get him to drink more. Thanks
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! You have a few options here. What you can do is feed him canned food which already has a considerable amount of water already in it. Another option is adding a bit of chicken broth to his water which may make it more enjoyable. Another option is adding ice to the water which he may enjoy more. Best of luck!

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I recommend giving Shilo free access to water as she may have something going on internally that requires water. I recommend taking her to a vet for blood work to rule out diabetes, Cushings, or kidney disease. These are all illnesses that cause increased thirst and she may need treatment. Good luck and kisses to Shilo!

I have a 4 year old, 12-lb maltese/yorkie mix who does not drink water. She eats Royal Canin prescription food for gastrointestinal issues and I've recently changed her from the dry kibble to canned food because she will not drink water. I've tried
Hello and thank you very much for your question. Changing the food to a canned diet is a good idea if you are concerned with in adequate water consumption. You can add a lot of water to the canned food to make it a gruel based diet. I do have a few suggestions on what may help her consume more water. First, you may want to invest in a waterfall or water movement type of water bowl. These types of watering devices can help mimic a running faucet and studies have shown that animals will drink more from this type of device. Second, you could perhaps change the water you are giving. So for instance, if you are giving your pet well water, you would switch to city water or filtered water. Or if you are giving city water, you may want to switch to filtered water for just a while to see if that helps drink more. I hope I have been of some help. Have a great day.
