　　Cats and dogs especially need to replenish water frequently in the summer, paying attention to keeping their food bowls filled with clean and sufficient water. Some owners feed pets tea, juice, beer, milk, and various beverages, but it is best to give them clean water. Tea and juice do not bring extra benefits to them, nor do they cause special harm; giving them a small amount is no problem, but milk can cause skin problems for dogs and is not suitable for them to drink. As for beer, it also has adverse effects on cats and dogs, especially young cats and dogs and small breeds, whose gastrointestinal systems cannot handle the alcohol content in beer. The best drink for cats and dogs is clean water. Owners can occasionally supply some other drinks for variety, but be sure not to overdo it.
