Tip To Increase Your Cat’s Water Intake: Add Water To Kibble

Is your cat on a kibble-only diet? There is nothing wrong with this as long as your beloved feline is drinking water regularly or as needed. But, a problem may arise if your cat refuses to drink when necessary. If you cannot transition your cat from having kibble to wet cat foods, do not worry.

For a start, you can add small quantities of water to the kibble of your cat. If you see that your cat is enjoying the food, you may eventually add more amounts of water to increase her water consumption. 

Here are more ways in improving the water intake of your furry feline:

Use a dripping faucet or a cat drinking fountain instead of the traditional water bowl

Place the water bowl in the parts of your home your cat frequently visits

Add a few amounts of chicken broth or tuna water to your cat’s drinking water for enticing purposes

A sudden change in your pet’s drinking and/or urinating habits should be brought to the attention of your professional veterinary clinic Bend OR.

Pet Resolutions For The New Year: Avoid Junk Food

This coming New year can be the ideal time for you to think twice about your diet.  This might be good for both you and your pet to start eating the right food.  Your veterinarian could suggest a nutritionally balanced pet food appropriate for a pet cat or dog’s activity level and life stage.

A lot of pet owners like offering their pets some treats to supplement their diets.  But the nutritional value of treats is typically low to nonexistent.  So be sure to control unneeded calories and include treats in the general nutritional plan.  One ideal alternative to commercial treats is some fresh vegetables, fruits, and some lean meat.  Try offering your pet some apple slices, green beans, carrot, or some rotisserie chicken leftovers.

Your pet’s diet is one of the important concerns that you should discuss with your vet Bend, OR during your pet’s wellness checks.
