It's kind of strange to feature this topic in winter, but WebMd has an article on how much water dogs need. After I read it, I realized that I often did not pay attention to how much Tony drank; in fact, thanks to the other two dogs in the house, it would have been hard to keep track. What I'm thinking now is that I should have made a greater effort. Those of you who followed Tony's story from the start may remember that my first inkling that he had diabetes was his frequent urination. However, I never thought about keeping some kind of track of his water consumption before that. If I had, I might have noticed the problem earlier and avoided some of his later issues.
Here's the basic requirement, according to the article:
"A good rule of thumb: Make sure your dog gets at least 1 ounce of water daily for each pound he weighs. That means a 20-pound dog needs at least 20 ounces of water every day. That's more than 2 cups, or as much as in some bottles of water or soda.
To help you keep track of how much water your dog drinks, make a note of how high you fill his water bowl and how far the level has dropped the next day."
