Saving every little life in need of help

It's fine to drink a little, but not too much. Because the content of metal ions in mineral water is high, and dogs do not have such a strong digestive ability as us humans, if dogs are allowed to drink mineral water for a long time, the supply of minerals in their bodies will exceed demand, and some minerals will be excreted slowly. Urinary stones are formed, especially for dogs with uremia, it is better to drink less.

Dog's water intake per day

The daily water intake of dogs is determined according to their body size, generally 50-60ml/kg for large dogs and 60-70ml/kg for small dogs. If the dog has extra water loss in addition to normal urination, such as diarrhea, hot weather, nursing puppies, etc., the water demand will increase relatively.

Precautions for dogs drinking water

1. Bacteria are more likely to grow in hot weather. Not only should pay attention to the amount and time of water feeding, but also pay attention to timely replacement to ensure the cleanness of the water source.

2. It is generally recommended to feed dogs cold boiled water or pure water. It is not recommended to feed tap water for a long time. Tap water may contain parasites or bacteria, which will affect the health of dogs.

3. Don't give dogs some human drinks, such as tea, coffee, carbonated drinks, sugar-free drinks, etc., which will damage the dog's stomach and teeth, and even endanger their lives. For example, caffeine and xylitol, which are commonly found in beverages, are deadly poisons for dogs.
