Adequate hydration is fundamental to your dog’s well-being. While your dog won’t be at immediate risk of physical harm if you cannot change his or her water over the course of eight to ten hours, it may not be ideal for your dog’s health. Dogs typically prefer to drink fresh and cold water. If you are able to provide your dog with fresh water while you are busy at work, it may encourage your dog to drink more throughout the day. Having access to fresh water may help to relieve some of your dog’s anxiety about when you will return. A pet fountain may be a good way to keep your dog’s water fresh and oxygenated. Also, dogs may be attracted to the sound of running water. In addition, a bowl that keeps water cool may help to pique his or her interest in drinking.

Most dogs—unless they are obese and have a short snout and do not have access to shade and water—will do just fine outside even in the summer. Although some sites will tell you that you cannot leave your dog unsupervised outside, the reality is that many of us have to and set up our yards so that our dogs will be okay. Water to Play in Is a Big Plus. Since she is a Lab mix, she probably loves the water so if you already have or can purchase another wading pool and set it up in the shade, she will most likely spend a lot of time there during the day. All-Day Shade Is Critical. You have a little swimming pool and a really nice dog house. Heatstroke is uncommon in a backyard with water and shade, so she probably will do just fine, although she will miss you. Ensure You Have a Proper Backyard Set-Up.
