Why Fresh Water Matters More Than Treats
Clean water bowls and frequent refills prevent dehydration and support kidney health.
Refill water at least twice a day and wash bowls daily so biofilm does not build up. Stainless steel or ceramic bowls are easier to keep clean than plastic.
If your pet drinks little, try a fountain, ice cubes, or wet food mixed into meals. Hot weather and exercise raise water needs quickly.
Watch for sudden thirst or refusal to drink. Both can signal medical issues that need a vet check.
