Hormones are a necessary aspect of your dog’s development and health—by regulating all bodily symptoms, the hormones your pup’s body produces ensures that their health stays in check. That is, as long as their hormone levels are balanced.

Dog households typically have an ever-present water bowl (or two or three) to allow their thirsty pups to quench their thirst as often as they need to. Dogs lose a lot of water by panting and urinating, which means they need to rehydrate after exercise, playtime and at random points throughout the day.

Dog owners are very in-tune with their canine best friends; you know how often they eat and drink, when they go to the bathroom, how much they like to play and much more. This is why many dog owners get immediate red flags when they notice something as simple as their dog suddenly drinking a lot more water or having to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
