Water promotes metabolic function, or the chemical processes that produce energy within the body. It aids in the transportation of nutrients throughout the body, which are required for energy. Water is required to maintain body temperature. Without adequate hydration, dogs’ internal temperature rises, creating a lack of energy. Water is responsible for the process of hydrolysis, which breaks down larger molecules into smaller ones that can be digested more effectively. Water also helps to dissolve soluble fibres, softens stool, and essentially makes the entire digestive process much more efficient.

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. Hydrating foods such as cucumbers and watermelon are over 90% water, so they are super hydrating snacks and safe for dogs to quench their thirst. You can always freeze these moisture-filled foods to make them even more hydrating for your pet. Grated carrots are also a great source of hydration and an excellent food topper. Want something fun and creative, make your furry friend some pet-friendly ice lollies by pouring one of our delicious bone broths into a silicone mould or ice tray and freezing it. These make for a delicious and hydrating treat that your pup will love. Invest in a pet fountain as some dogs prefer running water and it can make drinking more appealing.
