Here are some great ways of helping to increase your cats water intake

Here are some great ways of helping to increase your cats water intake. I’ve been drinking much more water and I am feeling the health benefits! You may realise that they do not lap water up like dogs but water is so important for their health.  Here are some ideas, obviously the below will depend on budgets but there is something here that anyone can do (if you're not already of course!)

• Invest in a water fountain. Alot of cats prefer running water. Lots of fountains need cartridges so they will need to be factored into the cost.

• Add tuna juice (in water not brine) with water- I bet your cat will lap it up!

• Introduce wet food as this contains more moisture.

• Have different areas for water locations so that your cat has choices.

• Have a water bowl that is positioned so your cat can look 360 degrees all the way around. Cats can be startled if they don't know /who what is behind them and it may cause them to run off away from their water.

• You can get fountains that monitor how much your cat is drinking on an app.

• See what water your cat likes best - is it tap or fresh?

• Monitor how often they are peeing so you can check that there is no changes. For example sometimes cats can experience cystitis.
   

I hope you and your cat have a great and hydrated week!
