Ways To Get Your Cat To Drink More Water

One challenge that cat owners face is having to get their feline friends to drink enough water daily. When cats are picky with what they intake this can lead to a common problem in our feline friends called low-grade, chronic dehydration. This habit of theirs can increase the probability of them decreasing their life lifespan and can impact their health in a bad way. Help keep your cat hydrated by following these tips listed below:

●      Purchase high-quality canned cat food as they are most likely high in moisture instead of kibble.

●      Cats can be picky with what they intake at times. If you have a cat that would rather not have tap water, then opt for filtered water.

●      Cat water fountains can be a good investment as most cat owners have noticed that their feline friends drink more water when it is flowing than when the water stays still in their water bowls.

●      Don’t forget to wash your cat's water container every time you refill it as it can be really sensitive to taste and smell.

●      Purchase numerous water containers and disperse them all around your house for your cat to have more access to water whenever they get thirsty.

●      Opt for a water bowl with a wide circumference as cats get very sensitive when their whiskers touch the surface f the bowl. 

Don’t hesitate to contact your veterinarian Medina, WA, and book an appointment for a check-up if this your cat is drinking less water than usual or if your cat seems dehydrated.
