It's important that all dogs stay hydrated. This is especially important for working dogs. For working dogs, adequate hydration is crucial for performance and well-being. If you are out working or exercising your dogs, be sure you carry plenty of clean, cool water with you. Cool, not icy:
Ice water can cause blood vessels to constrict, slowing down cooling. Don't feed your dog while they are working or exercising. Feed your dog a couple of hours before working or exercising. Feeding your dog directly before or during working or exercising can cause bloat and can be fatal to your dog. To help get a jump start on hydration water down your dogs kibble. Adding water to kibble can help ensure your dog stays hydrated, especially if they don't drink enough water on their own. Let's keep those pups hydrated! 🐾
