healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2022/07/10/low-circulating-blood-volume.aspx Story at-a-glance Pets can be dehydrated without appearing thirsty; dehydration is different from thirst in that it is a potentially life-threatening condition There are many causes of dehydration in dogs and cats; the most common is fluid loss from the urinary or GI tract One way to check your pet’s hydration level is to gently lift a bit of skin at the back of the neck; if it stays up like a tent, your dog or cat could be dehydrated Treating dehydration is easy; it can be more challenging to find and treat the underlying cause One of the smartest steps you can take to keep your dog or call well hydrated is to feed a moisture rich, species-specific diet My notes: It's the same with humans. We may not appear or even FEEL thirsty. Feeding canned food helps to give them more water content. Kibble is quite drying. Cats especially don't drink as much water as dogs do so getting creative helps them.

Water fountains are great. Running water to get their attention. Several water bowls around.
