During Pet Hydration Awareness Month, we will be sharing weekly information related to canine hydration - facts, helpful tips, things to look out for and more! Be sure to check back every Wednesday during the month of July!
Here are some basic facts about a pup's need for water!
🐾 While the human body is made up of about 60% water, your canine companion's body is made up of about 80% water
🐾 A general guideline is that most dogs need one ounce of water per pound of body weight per day (that’s about 1 gallon for an average-sized Newfoundland!)
🐾 Dogs need water to regulate their body temperature effectively, as well as to support proper organ functions and body systems (think: nutrient absorption and joint lubrication)
🐾 Make sure your pup has clean, fresh water available at all times, whether at home or on the go!
