How much water should your dog drink?

It seems such a simple question. Just like humans, all dogs are different.
However, on average, a dog should drink about 50 ml water per kilo per day. So, for example, a 10 kg dog needs a half a litre of water every day. Best is always to have enough clean water by their food. If you notice they don’t seem to be drinking or quickly needed more refills, it’s a good idea to contact your vet.

Feeding your dog. Best before or after the walk?

It’s best to feed your dog after the walk, but not immediately after.

Vets recommend a wait of 45 minutes or longer, because feeding your dog while they are still warm and panting from the walk can cause serious digestive problems.

How do you know if your dog is the correct weight?

Finding and maintaining your dog’s ideal weight can significantly increase their lifespan.

In fact, often as much as two years longer. Who doesn’t want that? The best way to determine the ideal weight for your dog is to consult your vet.
