Have you recently noticed your pet Dog drinking water and urinating a lot or similar changes in your dog’s drinking water behavior? Every Canine is unique, and their diet depends on their breed, age, pregnancy, and health condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most dog parents are concerned about how much water a dog should drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The standard rule of thumb is to measure the recommended amount of water intake, that is,\u00a01 ounce per pound<\/strong>\u00a0of your dog’s body weight daily.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Being a pet dog parent requires attention to your canine companion’s eating, drinking, walking, and sleeping patterns. You should be aware that 70%<\/strong> of the body’s metabolism is water for good metabolism. Physically active young dogs and cats who love to play also need to lower it, especially in summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n Just go through this quick checklist to narrow down the possible reasons why your dog drinks water constantly or feels too thirsty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your pet dog has any of the reasons below, then it’s normal to feel thirsty; however, you should contact your vet immediately if the dog is drinking water but is still dehydrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dog’s body temperatures usually get high in the young puppies who play a lot in summers. You might have noticed dogs panting when tired after playing because their paws have sweat glands but no or less surface area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ensure your dog doesn’t throw up, feels dehydrated, or does not urinate after drinking water. As a Dog parent, you need to train them to drink small amounts of water after relaxing for a while from a playdate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n If your dog is hairy or furry and physically active before they get dehydrated during the hot days and start to feel down, you better take the initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n On hot days your dog needs fresh, clean drinking water more frequently<\/a> when it is 80 to 100 degrees outdoors. Roughly, your dog can stay thirsty for a few hours air-conditioned indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dogs can survive without water, anywhere around 3 to 5 days, but it’s not healthy. However, after 24 hours, your dog will get dehydrated and start to show signs of weakness. Dogs are more likely to get dehydrated if no balance is maintained between water intake as water is constantly discharged out of the body through urine, sweat, and feces. Usually, the Urine color of dehydrated dogs is strong in the smell with dark pale yellow color.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPossible Reasons Why Your Dog Is Always Thirsty?<\/h2>\n\n\n
