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.
