It's Pet Hydration Awareness Month!
During the summer months it's important to keep your pets cool and hydrated. Dogs require 1 ounce of water per pound of body weight per day and cats require a little less - about 0.8 ounces per pound of body weight per day.
Hot days can quickly lead to dehydration and even turn deadly. Signs of dehydration include lack of energy, loss of appetite, dry/sunken eyes, dry/sticky mouth, dry nose and loss of skin elasticity. Recognizing the signs and seeking veterinary care right away could save your pets life. Lets keep your furry friends hydrated during these hot summer months!
