💡 Practical tip
Always have fresh water available. Instead of measuring exactly, watch that your pet drains their bowl 2 timesper day. If they're drinking significantly more or less, mention it to your vet.
Signs of Dehydration

Based on standard veterinary guidelines (50–60 ml/kg/day baseline). Illness, medications, nursing, and kidney conditions significantly affect needs — always consult your vet for medical cases.
