Any Q

A dog needs continuous access to water to lower the risk of dehydration. Clean, fresh water must be available on demand… anytime the animal's natural urge to drink calls for it.


Is it OK to restrict dogs water?

Dogs do need water, so it typically isn't recommended to restrict their intake. This can cause dehydration and all sorts of issues along with that. At the same time, puppies may need to be taken out very late at night if they are drinking water.

Should a dog have access to water overnight?

A healthy adult dog should have access to clean, fresh water throughout the day, especially if they are active or spending a lot of time outdoors in warm weather. Overnight, however, it is best to remove the bowl to eliminate the chances of an unfortunate bladder accident.

How often should dogs have water available to them?

Most dogs should drink about 1 ounce of water for every pound that they weigh, every day. That means a 10-pound dog needs about two-thirds of a 16oz bottle of water daily.
