How much water should puppies drink?

Water Intake for Puppies

Puppies need a sufficient amount of water to stay healthy and hydrated, just like adult dogs. Generally, a good rule of thumb is to provide about one ounce of water per pound of body weight each day. For example, if your puppy weighs 10 pounds, they should drink approximately 10 ounces of water daily.

However, this can vary based on factors such as the puppy's age, activity level, and the climate. Puppies are more active and may require more water, especially after playtime or during hot weather.

Additionally, ensure that fresh water is always available, and check it regularly to keep it clean. If your puppy is transitioning to solid food, they may drink less water since they will be getting some hydration from their food.

Always monitor your puppy for signs of dehydration, such as dry gums, lethargy, or excessive panting, and consult your veterinarian if you have concerns about their water intake.
