All living things need water, including our four-legged friends – dogs.
What can you give your dog to drink?
Some owners mistakenly believe that milk, broths and soups are suitable as drinks for dogs.
In fact, all of the above applies to food, while the only thing that is suitable for drinking is clean water.
Even milk can never replace regular drinking water.
What kind of water should not be given to a dog
Like humans, dogs should not drink water that contains harmful substances and impurities.
It is forbidden to give pets industrial water, even after it has been purified.
The mineralization level of water should not exceed 5 thousand solid particles per million particles of water. It is difficult to measure these indicators yourself, so instead of taking risks, it is recommended to completely exclude such water from your pet's diet.
You shouldn't "give the go-ahead" for your dog to drink water from puddles and stagnant bodies of water, as there are a lot of bacteria and harmful substances there.
Also, quenching your thirst with water from the toilet is strictly prohibited.
