Dog Hydration on the Go: How Much Water Is Enough

Dehydration sneaks up on adventure dogs. A rough guideline is about one ounce of water per pound of body weight per day, and more when it is hot or the day is active. On the road, where the bowl is not in its usual spot, it is easy to lose track.

The Sniff and Shift App's health dashboard puts hydration on a gauge, scaled to your dog's weight, so a glance tells you if they are behind. Log a bowl in two taps. On a shared dog, the whole family sees the same number, so nobody assumes someone else filled it. Carry a collapsible bowl, offer water at every stop, and let the gauge keep you honest.

The Sniff and Shift App launches this August. join the pit crew for launch-day alerts, and stock up on single-ingredient treats for the co-pilot in the meantime.
