: I don't ration water in the day. however, I notice that apart from the water that I mix with the food, my puppy drinks very little water on her own from the bottle. sometimes I have to coax her to drink from the dish but she takes only few sips. at times, I try ice cubes. how much water should a puppy be drinking per day?

Hi there,

Your puppy is probably getting all the water she needs. I'd trust her to make that determination, but if you're really concerned, consult your vet and let him/her show you how to check for dehydration.
