Frequently asked questions

How much water should my pet drink daily?
The calculator uses species, weight, and sometimes activity or diet (dry vs wet food) to estimate daily fluid needs in ounces or milliliters. Wet food provides part of that total.
My pet drinks way more than the estimate. Is that bad?
Increased thirst can signal diabetes, kidney disease, or other problems. Compare to your pet's normal baseline and call your vet if drinking or urinating suddenly increases.
Do I need to count water from food?
Canned or fresh diets contribute moisture, so bowl drinking may look lower than the total hydration target. Note diet type if the form asks for it.
When should I see a vet about hydration?
Seek care for lethargy, dry gums, vomiting, or refusal to drink, especially in hot weather. This tool does not diagnose dehydration or illness.
