Reasons why your dog🐶 may not be drinking enough water🚰
#3 Unclean bowl

Most dogs will relish drinking from muddy puddles, however, they do still like their drinking bowl to be clean! Dirty water bowls can be a health hazard for your dog as they contain bacteria, but it’s also not nice for them to drink. Make sure you give them clean, freshwater every day. Remember to wash your dog’s water bowls out regularly with mild soapy water, and rinse thoroughly.

#2 Taste of the water

Dogs have a super keen sense of smell and if the water smells unfamiliar for example if you’re in a different location they may be reluctant to drink it. If your dog tends to do this, you can add more water to their food to increase water intake.

Reasons why your dog🐶 may not be drinking enough water🚰
#1 Lack of exercise

If the weather’s cooler and/or your dog has been doing less exercise their water intake may decrease. This is because they won’t need to lose as much heat so won’t be losing as much water through evaporation.

How much water should your dog🐶 drink each day?

The normal amount for your dog to drink will depend on a variety of factors, including their size, activity level, and their diet.

Wet or dry food should be considered; wet dog food contains 65-80% water. Dry dog food only contains around 20% water.

A rough guide is that your dog should drink 20-30ml per pound of body weight per day, and this is the same for puppies and dogs of any age.

Cat🐱 Health Check #8
Digestion

Cats can be fussy eaters this is because being sick takes a lot of effort for them, so they will try to avoid it at all costs! It’s quite normal for cats to occasionally regurgitate food or cough up a hairball, but generally, there shouldn’t be any vomiting or reluctance to eat.

If you’re caring for cats, keep an eye on their appetite and be aware of what you and everyone else in the family feed them. If you make any dietary changes, do it gradually over the course of 7-10 days, and pay attention to any changes in your cat’s poo. It should be a consistent brown color with a solid texture, with no blood or mucus. Changes in appetite or digestion can be perfectly normal, but never assume your cat is simply being fussy, talk to your vet to be sure.

Nails

Your cat’s nails can be black or white, and should be smooth – rough or flaky nails might require a visit to the vet. To check your cat’s nails, gently squeeze on the pads of their paws so the nails fully emerge. Don’t forget to check their dew-claws, which can be found on the inside of their leg, just above the paw. Some cats have them on their front legs only, some on the front and the back, and some don’t have any at all!

You should give your cat’s paws a once-over while you’re looking at their nails, to make sure they’re clean and healthy. If you have an outdoor cat you should clean their paws regularly, especially in winter, as antifreeze can be toxic to cats if they walk in it and then eat it as they groom themselves.

Cat🐱 Health Check #6
Skin and coat

Depending on your cat’s skin pigmentation, their skin will be pink or black, and shouldn’t show any signs of crusting, itching, scaling, black or white spots, infection, or inflammation. Their coat should be thick (although some breeds will have thinner coats than others) and shiny, with no broken hairs, bald patches, dandruff, or fleas. Cats can also suffer from cat acne – it can be tempting for you or your cat to pick at, but resist and speak to your vet instead.

Your cat will shed their hair all year round, but usually more in summer and autumn, so it’s helpful to get your cat into the habit of regular grooming from an early age – and to have a good vacuum cleaner! Fleas and ticks can be a common problem for cats.

Cat🐱 Health Check #5
Mouth

Cats with bad breath make for less than pleasant company, but smelly breath can also indicate an underlying digestive or kidney problem. More commonly, though, it’s a sign of bacterial overgrowth or plaque on their teeth and gums, which if left untreated can lead to tooth decay and gum disease, and sometimes organ problems.

Teeth should be white or cream with no excess tartar, which looks thick and brown. Gums should be healthy pink (or black depending on your cat’s skin pigmentation), and certainly not red, swollen, or bleeding. Keep an eye out for bad breath, excess salivation, a reluctance to eat, clawing at the mouth, and dropping food – these are all signs that something’s wrong. Ask your vet to brush your cat’s teeth every time you visit, but ideally, you’ll brush your cat’s teeth twice a day with a special cat toothpaste. Your vet can recommend one.

Nose

Your cat’s nose should be soft and slightly damp to the touch. Crusting, bleeding, discharge, and excess sneezing are all signs that something’s not quite right, so take them in for a health check.

This is particularly important if their eyes are also a little runny, as cats are susceptible to the flu.

Eyes

Your cat’s eyes should be bright and clear with no signs of runniness, redness, or soreness. Your pet shouldn’t be squinting or shying away from the light, and if they start bumping into objects all of a sudden, take them to the vet for a check-up.

Cat🐱 Health Check #2
Ears

Cat ears are very delicate and sensitive, so should be treated with care. Their ears should always be clean, with no thick or waxy discharge, and there shouldn’t be any redness, itchiness, or offensive smells. If your cat has thin hair or white-tipped ears, consider massaging in a smear of sunscreen to protect against sunburn (which can lead to skin cancer) on hot or sunny days.

If your cat starts to hold their head to one side, rubs their face on surfaces more than usual, or is always shaking their head, take them to the vet for a thorough ear exam and general cat health check. Never probe your cat’s ears yourself or insert anything inside – this could potentially cause further damage, and you don’t want that.

Body Condition

Regularly check their body condition, when you run your hands over your cat, you should be able to feel and (depending on their breed or coat length) sometimes see their ribs easily, with only a slight covering of fat.

They should have a well-defined hourglass waist when viewed from above, and they should have a very slight pad of fat on their tummy.

Surprising ways your dog🐶 shows they love you #10
Your dog knows when you need to be comforted

Most dogs are very in tune with their owners' emotions and often respond if they sense something isn't right.
Sensing when you are sad or struggling with something. They will find a way to cuddle up to you, rest their head on you, or generally find a way to be close to you during these times.
