8 Signs Your Dog is Dehydrated
As temperatures rise and activity levels increase, keeping your dog hydrated becomes more important than ever. Dehydration in dogs can happen quickly, especially during warm weather, exercise, travel, or illness. Knowing the warning signs can help you act early and keep your dog healthy and comfortable.
Here are 8 common signs your dog may be dehydrated:
Sunken or dull-looking eyes
Lethargy or unusual tiredness
Changes in behaviour or mood
Excessive panting
A dry nose
Loss of skin elasticity
Dry or sticky gums
Weakness in the hind legs
A simple guideline is that dogs need approximately one ounce of water per pound of body weight each day. That means a 70-pound Labrador may require at least 9 cups of water daily — and even more during hot weather or increased activity.
Here are a few easy ways to encourage your dog to drink more water:
• Add a splash of sodium-free broth or stock to their water bowl for extra flavour.
• Offer ice cubes as a fun, crunchy treat.
• Add water to kibble or meals at feeding time.
• Keep water bowls clean, fresh, and topped up throughout the day.
Hydration plays an important role in your dog’s overall health, energy levels, and safety — especially during the summer months. If you notice signs of dehydration that do not improve quickly, contact your veterinarian promptly.
We always carry water on our group off leash walks in the summer months and the dogs get to enjoy playtime in the river.
