WATER CONSUMPTION FOR DOGS AND CATS: KNOW THE IMPORTANCE.
It is not enough just to offer a quality food, you must also pay attention to your pet's water consumption. So, let's understand how pets act when they feel thirsty.
Dogs and cats act differently when they feel thirsty. We can say that water consumption by dogs happens, most of the time, in a voluntary way, reaching its total consumption throughout the day. Just like humans, dogs usually drink water after meals and physical exercise, and on hotter days they usually drink more water because of the high temperatures.
Cats, on the other hand, do not always exhibit this behavior. This happens because they descend from desert regions and have gone through long periods of unavailability of water. As a result, they have developed the ability to concentrate a lot of urine in comparison to other species and humans, and do not always look for water when they are thirsty. To avoid dehydration, the cat's body compensates by concentrating the urine, which increases the chances of it developing so-called urinary calculi.
However, what many people don't know is that food can also be a source of water, in addition to spontaneous consumption. Although a diet consisting only of dry food (feed) also provides water, this will be in smaller quantities, when compared to a wet food. This is because the manufacturing process of dry food ensures low humidity to contribute to its preservation and, consequently, its durability, preventing the growth of microorganisms. Thus, when consuming dry food, pets need to drink water spontaneously to meet their daily needs.
