Fresh, clean water is vital to your pet’s health and if he’s not getting enough now, how will he stay hydrated in the summer sun?

Importance of hydration

About 80% of your pet’s body is made up of water. This water is essential for caring out vital processes such as circulation and digestion. To keep these processes running smoothly a typical pet will drink about an ounce of water per pound of fat a day. However, depending on his level of activity and the amount of time spent outside, in the summer he may drink up to 3-5 ounces per pound of fat. Losing as little as 5% of body water can slow down the vital processes keeping him alive and losing 10% can begin to shut them down.
