Should my dog drink after eating?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Try not to let your pooch rapidly wolf down his/her food! Do not let the dog play or exercise (e.g. go for a walk) for at least two hours after having a meal. Ensure continuous fresh water is available to avoid your pet gulping down a large amount after eating.


Do dogs get thirsty after they eat?

A dry food diet -- which may be as little as 5%-10% water -- can also lead to noticeable thirst in your dog. High sodium foods will also cause your dog to drink more.

What time should I take my dogs food and water away?

As a rule of thumb, remove the food and water bowls about two-to-three hours before bedtime. So, if your lights-out time is at 11 p.m., a puppy should have no food or water after about 8–8:30 p.m. This gives you a chance to take him out for a one last potty break before settling in for the night.

When should you give your dog water?

The more a dog drinks, the more he will have to urinate, which is why some sources recommend limiting a pup's access to water while housetraining. But because the risk of dehydration is much greater than the risk of a slow housebreaking period, it is still best to provide your dog with water at all times.

Why do dogs drink after eating?

If your dog is suddenly very thirsty for a day or so, it's usually not a cause for concern. Dogs may drink more if they're very hot, bored, have eaten certain foods, or have recently exercised. Very active dogs and nursing dogs drink more than other dogs.
