Pet Hydration Tips

1. Frozen Treats & Ice Pops

• DIY broth cubes: Freeze low-sodium chicken or beef broth into ice cube trays.
• Fruit-infused ice: Add pet-safe fruits like blueberries or watermelon to water before freezing.
• Doggy smoothies: Blend yogurt, water, and fruits like strawberries or apples (no seeds!) for a hydrating treat.

2. Pet Water Fountains

• Many pets, especially cats, prefer running water. Fountains mimic natural streams and encourage more drinking.

3. Hydrate Through Food

• Wet food: Canned food contains up to 80% moisture.
• Soak kibble: Add warm water or broth to dry food to boost moisture intake.
• Broth drizzle: Pour a splash of broth over meals to entice picky drinkers.

4. Interactive Hydration Toys

• Use toys that dispense water or frozen treats as your pet plays.
• Try lick mats with frozen yogurt or broth for a slow-release hydration boost.

5. Multiple Water Stations

• Place bowls in several locations—especially where your pet naps or plays.
• Use non-slip, wide-mouth bowls to make drinking easier and more appealing.

6. Flavor the Water

• Add a splash of tuna water (not oil) for cats or bone broth for dogs to make water more enticing.

7. Keep Bowls Clean

• Wash bowls daily to remove bacteria and odors. Some pets avoid murky or smelly water.

8. Cool Down with Shaded Breaks

• During outdoor play, take hydration breaks every 15–20 minutes in the shade.
• Use cooling mats to help regulate body temperature and reduce water loss.
