📖 How Water Needs Are Calculated
Dogs generally need 50–60 ml of water per kilogram of body weight as a base, adjusted for diet, activity, and climate:
- Dry food adds ~30% to water needs (no moisture content)
- Wet/canned food already contains ~75–80% moisture, reducing water needs
- High activity can double water needs in hot conditions
- Hot climates increase water needs by 20–50%
- Puppies typically need more water relative to body weight than adults
