To keep your dog from getting dehydrated, ensure your dog has constant access to fresh, clean water. Change their water daily and clean the bowl regularly to prevent bacteria build-up. Dogs are more likely to drink water that is fresh and free from contaminants. Placing multiple water stations around your home can encourage your dog to drink more. Keep a close eye on how much water your dog is drinking each day. If you notice a significant decrease, it might be time to consult your veterinarian. Look for signs of dehydration, such as dry gums, sunken eyes, and lethargy. Switching to wet dog food can help increase your dog’s water intake. Offering water-rich treats like watermelon, cucumber, or ice cubes can help keep your dog hydrated.
