Simple Tips to Help Your Furry Friend Stay Happy and Healthy in the Heat
Summer is here, and as the days get hotter, it’s more important than ever to make sure your pet is drinking enough water. Dehydration can lead to constipation, bad breath, slower metabolism, and even urinary or kidney issues in pets.
But let’s be real—some pets just don’t like drinking water, and it can be a headache for pet parents. Don’t worry! Here are four easy, practical tips to help your furry buddy stay hydrated and avoid dehydration risks this summer:
✅ 1. Fresh Water Every Day
Pets are sensitive to smells, and water that’s been sitting around can quickly grow bacteria and develop an odor that makes them avoid drinking. Try to change your pet’s water at least once or twice a day, and don’t forget to clean their bowls regularly—especially during the summer when water can get warm and stale faster.
✅ 2. Hydration Through Food
Your pet doesn’t have to rely only on water bowls to stay hydrated. You can add water to dry kibble, offer wet food or canned food occasionally, or prepare fresh meals with higher moisture content. This not only helps boost their water intake but can also make mealtimes more exciting for picky eaters.
✅ 3. Make Drinking Water Fun
Turn hydration into a game! You can use commands or hand signals to encourage your pet to drink and give them a small treat when they do. Try placing water bowls in different areas of your home so your pet can “discover” them, or use toys to guide them near their water bowls. Making it a playful experience will naturally encourage them to drink more.
✅ 4. Try a Pet Water Fountain—Meet the Hydra
Many pets are naturally drawn to running water because they think it’s cleaner and fresher. A pet water fountain can help encourage your pet to drink more on their own.
We’re excited to share that our Hydra Pumpless Pet Water Fountain is launching soon, designed specifically for pet parents who care about safety, hygiene, and convenience:
🌊 Magnetic drive technology with no traditional water pump—no electric leakage risk, fully water-electricity separated
🌊 Pump-free structure means easy cleaning with no hidden corners where grime can build up
🌊 5-layer filtration system removes hair, debris, and odors for clean, fresh water
🌊 Dual power modes—plug in for daily use or switch to battery for short offline periods
🌊 Ultra-quiet operation, so it won’t disturb your pet or your household
The Hydra fountain is crafted for cautious pets and thoughtful owners who want a worry-free, clean hydration solution. Stay tuned!
A Quick Reminder
As a general guideline, pets need about 50-70ml of water per kilogram of body weight each day. If you notice your pet drinking less than usual, having darker urine, or acting lethargic, please check with your vet to rule out dehydration or health concerns.
With a little extra attention and these simple tips, your furry friend can stay happily hydrated and enjoy a cool, healthy summer!
