Daily Water Tips for Dogs and Cats
Practical ways to keep drinking water fresh, accessible and appealing every day.
Fresh water should be available to pets throughout the day unless a veterinarian has given specific instructions.
Refresh water regularly
Replace stale or contaminated water and rinse the bowl before refilling.
Use multiple water stations
In larger homes or multi-pet households, multiple bowls can make access easier.
Keep bowls away from contamination
Place water where litter, outdoor dirt and food debris are less likely to enter it.
Consider your pet's preference
Some cats prefer wide bowls or moving water. Some dogs drink more comfortably from stable, non-slip bowls.
A sudden major increase or decrease in drinking can be medically relevant. Contact a veterinarian if a change persists.
Better choices start with better advice.
