Hydration is just as important for pets as it is for humans! Here’s how to ensure your furry friend stays properly hydrated.
1. Why Hydration Matters
Dehydration can lead to kidney issues, digestive problems, and heat exhaustion. Dogs need 1 ounce of water per pound of body weight daily, while cats need plenty of moisture in their food.
2. Adding Wet or Freeze-Dried Food
Pets that don’t drink enough water can benefit from hydrated food options. Honest Kitchen dehydrated food and Stella & Chewy’s freeze-dried raw are great moisture-rich alternatives.
3. Pet Fountains for Encouraging Drinking
Cats are naturally drawn to flowing water. A pet fountain can encourage more frequent drinking, reducing the risk of urinary tract infections and kidney disease.
4. Hydrating Treats and Broths
Try bone broth from Primal or Honest Kitchen to add hydration and nutrients to your pet’s meals.
