Pet owners pay great attention to their dogs' daily diet. Besides dog food and daily feeding, reasonable water intake is also very important for a dog's health. What water is good for dogs? What are the precautions for dogs drinking water?

1. Ordinary Natural Water

This refers to natural water or tap water. Personally, I think water that has not been boiled is very unhygienic and unsafe. Directly giving this water to dogs may cause parasites or other diseases. Therefore, it is best not to let dogs drink this kind of water directly.

2. Boiled Water

Boiled water refers to water that has been boiled at high temperature and then cooled. Compared with tap water and ordinary natural water, boiled water is relatively safer and healthier. This kind of water can be used as daily drinking water for dogs. However, owners should pay attention to whether their kettle has accumulated scale. If so, it needs to be cleaned immediately, because long-term drinking of boiled water with scale can cause diseases such as stones in dogs.

3. Bottled or Bagged Purified Water

The advantage of purified water is that it is very clean, but the disadvantage is that it is too clean, because many minerals and trace elements necessary for the dog's growth are filtered out. Therefore, this kind of water is not recommended for long-term use by dogs.

4. Natural Mineral Water

A major advantage of mineral water is that many minerals are artificially added. Although it is possible to give dogs natural mineral water, it should not be used for a long time, otherwise excess minerals in the dog's body may cause problems such as urinary stones.

5. Precautions

Dogs must have an intake of 800ml of water daily and should not replace water with beverages. Adequate water effectively ensures smooth blood circulation in dogs. Therefore, besides ensuring sufficient daily water intake, it is also important to bring enough drinking water when taking dogs out for walks.
