Always have fresh water available. It sounds obvious, but always having fresh, cool water available is key. Place bowls in multiple locations around your home and garden so your dog never has to go far for a drink. Make sure to bring water along for walks and park visits when you're out and about this summer. Imagine going for a jog in the heat without water – it's not fun for anyone. Keep them hydrated through their food, if your dog isn't big on drinking, you can always add hydration via their food. Raw food is usually pretty moist due to the vegetables, fruits, and meat juice, but for those on dry or cooked food diets who want to moisten things up a bit, you can try adding a few tablespoons of water or one of our tasty bone broths. Invest in a pet fountain, some dogs prefer running water, a pet fountain can make drinking more appealing. Hydrating foods, such as fresh fruits like Cucumbers and Watermelon, are over 90% water, so they are super hydrating snacks and safe for dogs to quench their thirst. Keep their bowl clean, daily cleaning of your dog's bowl is essential in the fight against bacterial growth, it keeps the water fresh, making it more appealing to your pooch, thus keeping them healthy and hydrated.
