hi my 1yrs old cross breed dog hardly drinks any water. 2day he has drunk no water.
and most days he dont even drink a cup full.
i dont know why he dont like to drink water, i have tried giving it to him in a cup and he will only drink abt quater of a cup, i have tried shower water.

he is one a mix of dry food and canned food.

i do get worried especially in this weather
any tips or clues???

I'm not sure what advice to give you. My two are really good about drinking water. I just keep a bowl of fresh water in the kitchen area and one outside. I'm sure your dog will drink water when he feels he needs it.

Maybe the moisture in the canned food is making up for the water he's not drinking. Does he urinate regularly? If not, you may need to get him checked out. Just to be safe.

I know my 2 dont drink a lot of water anymore, which is normal, they are on a raw diet..but i dont know, when i fed kibble my dogs would drink gallons of water a day it seemed..im sure your pup will drink when he feels he needs to
