Before we discuss the signs of dehydration in a dog flat-coats will look at healthy hydration in dogs. To maintain your dog's nutritious state and help it maintain normal functions it needs
access to clean fresh water in its own drinking bowl. A dog will need approximately 45 - 50mls
of water per kilogram of bodyweight each day. So an averaged sized flat coated retriever will
need about 1.5 litres of water each day. This amount will vary for each dog, depending on whether
it is fed dry or wet food, the weather, the amount of exercise it gets, etc.

Avoid plastic bowls, which are easily chewed and buy metal bowls
instead, buying a separate one for the dog's water and food. Wash these daily and
provide a fresh supply of clean water several times a day to maintain your puppy's
health. It should have ready access to the water throughout the day and at night. If your dog
is fed dried food it should have access to water immediately after eating, as it is more likely to
be thirsty.
Milk should not be given to adult dogs, as they cannot digest lactose because
they do not produce the enzyme lactase, which breaks down the products.
A placemat beneath the dog's bowl will soak up any spillages and stop the bowl slipping and
prevent damage to your floor.
