How to Hydrate a Dehydrated Dog

1. Offer small amounts of water frequently.

* Use a syringe or eyedropper to slowly drip water into a dog's mouth. Water that's in a bowl on the floor may appear too daunting to drink when a pet feels unwell.

* Don't let dog lick or chew on ice; chewing ice hurts a dehydrated dog's mouth

2. Use an electrolyte solution.

* Mix 100 oz water with the amount of salt and baking soda indicated below depending on how severe symptoms are: If dehydrated dog has: Severe symptoms (can’t walk) Use ½ teaspoon baking soda and two teaspoons pure salts; Mild symptom Use ¼ teaspoon of baking soda & one teaspoon pure salts

3. Feed the dog wet or canned food.

4. If you dog still wont consume fluids seek medical attention:

Your vet may give your thirsty pooch an IV with nutrients and antibiotics for the quickest hydration relief
