Pet Watering Tips
Water is vital to good health. One can survive without food for days to weeks at a time, but not so with water as a body simply cannot function without sufficient hydration.
- Make sure your pet has access to fresh water at all times.
- Give your pet filtered or purified water whenever possible to reduce the amount of chemicals and contaminants ingested. The less your pet’s system needs to work to process and eliminate toxins, the longer it will last.
- Wash water bowls using an antibacterial detergent at least once a day and rinse with hot water.
- During cold weather warm up the water a little if your pet is not drinking much because he is cold.
- If your pet does not drink enough, add a little bit of meat broth to water to give it a little flavor and make it more appealing. (Use broth from cooking meat and not from a can as those often contain preservatives, onion powder and other additives.) Dispose of or refridgerate broth and water mixture if not drunk promptly.
- If your elderly pet has a hard time moving around, place several bowls of water in easily and conveniently accessible locations throughout the house.
