    Before we get started, we need to be clear about the concept: drinking more water and drinking less water are relative. Drinking too much and drinking too little is not good for your dog's body. We can judge whether the water intake of the dog every day is appropriate based on the following points:

    Weight: Dogs need about 100ml of water per 1kg of weight.

    Food: The staple food is dry food, and dogs drink more water than the staple wet food.

    Age: Puppies need more water than adult dogs due to their physical development needs.

    Climate: When it is hot, it needs to evaporate water to cool down, so it needs more water.

    Water is the main component of the dog's body, the proportion of water in the body of adult dogs reaches more than 70%, puppies are about 80%, for adult dogs, the water in the blood is as high as 80%, the water in the muscles is 72%-78%, and the bones are relatively less, but also in 45%.

    The lifespan of dogs is shorter than that of humans, so their metabolism is faster than that of humans, and various biochemical reactions and functional regulation of the body need water to be able to proceed normally. The dog's water consumption is mainly in feces and urine, as well as through the lungs and oral cavity, and the regulation of body temperature also depends on water. Being too old or in poor physical condition can make dogs dehydrated, and when dogs don't drink enough water every day, they will experience vomiting, diarrhea, wheezing or drooling, and if they don't hydrate in time, it can lead to dehydration.

    And if the dog is diabetic, pregnant, breastfeeding, too young or too old, take them to the doctor immediately if they are dehydrated.
