Water is indispensable in our bodies. In fact, it is the same for dogs, and it is also very important for dogs. So how do you get your dog to drink more water?
1. Increase the amount of exercise for dogs
In daily life, owners can take their dogs out to play and run more often, or they can interact with their dogs and play games in their spare time. After their dogs are tired from exercising, they will drink a lot of water to achieve the purpose of drinking more water.
2. Change the palatability of water
Dogs will prefer water with flavor, so owners can make some bone soup or broth for their dogs, and the dogs can also replenish water after drinking it. You need to be careful not to add salt. It is best to remove the upper layer of oil before feeding it to the dog, otherwise it will easily increase the burden on the dog’s gastrointestinal tract.
3. Increase the water content of food
If the dog has a good appetite, the owner can feed the dog some wet food or canned food, and can also feed the dog some vegetables and fruits with high water content, such as radish, pumpkin, watermelon, etc. However, remember to feed less, otherwise it will easily cause diarrhea if you eat too much.
4. Put more water bowls at home
You can usually put a few more bowls filled with water at home, so that your dog can drink water at any time.
5. Change the dog's clean water every day
The dog's nose is very sensitive, and if the water is not clean, it will not drink. Therefore, owners need to clean the dog’s drinking bowl regularly and change the drinking water at any time to avoid bacterial growth.
