Drink Up! A Complete Guide to Pet Hydration & Water Safety 💧🐾✨

Proper hydration keeps pets energetic, healthy, and comfortable—especially during warm weather or active days. But many dogs and cats don’t drink enough water on their own. At UrbanTails, we’re here to help you support hydration through simple habits and smart tools. 💜

1. Why Hydration Matters More Than You Think 💧🐶

Water supports:

• digestion
• joint lubrication
• temperature regulation
• skin & coat health
• kidney function

2. Signs Your Pet May Be Dehydrated 🚨🐾

• dry gums
• excessive panting
• loss of skin elasticity
• lethargy
• sunken eyes

If symptoms persist, contact a vet immediately.

3. How Much Water Does Your Pet Really Need? 🥤✨

The general guideline:

1 ounce of water per pound of body weight daily.

A 20 lb dog → 20 ounces of water per day

4. Pets Drink More When Water Is Fresh & Moving 💦🐱

Cats especially prefer running water. Water fountains encourage pets to hydrate more frequently by providing:

• clean flowing water
• aerated taste
• filtered freshness

5. Hydration On-the-Go: Don’t Forget Travel Water 💼🐾

Bring:

• portable water bottles
• collapsible silicone bowls
• ice water during hot weather

6. Summer Heat = Higher Hydration Needs ☀️🔥

During warm months, pets lose more moisture through panting and movement. Keep water bowls in shady spots and offer small amounts more frequently.

7. Wet Food & Broth Boost Hydration 🍲💧

For picky drinkers, adding water, broth, or wet food helps increase fluid intake.

8. Keep Bowls Clean for Better Drinking Hygiene 🧼✨

Wash water bowls daily to prevent bacteria buildup—cats are especially sensitive to bowl odors.
