Why does a dog start drinking a lot of water: should you worry
It is clear that in hot weather all living creatures strive for water and consume more of it than usual.
If the weather is normal, then the dog's thirst should alert the owner, who, like any conscientious owner, monitors changes in the pet's behavior.
Let's find out why a dog starts drinking water more and more often, and whether this is always a cause for concern.
Reasons
In fact, it is not just the air temperature that determines the amount of liquid an animal can consume per day.
First of all, it depends on age.
The younger the dog, the more water it can drink. With age, the need decreases along with the pet's activity.
Secondly, it is the size of the dog.
It has been observed that large breed dogs drink more than small ones.
Thirdly, diet.
Dry food or other foods can make your pet thirsty just like they do in people.
Fourthly, pregnant dogs also drink more water due to increased thirst.
Lastly, many dogs have a preference for bottled or filtered water over regular tap water.
It's all because the animal simply likes the taste of water.
