Why Hydration Matters
Cats evolved from desert animals and have a low thirst drive. Chronic dehydration can lead to kidney issues.
Water Fountains
Many cats prefer moving water. Fountains encourage drinking and add freshness with filters.
Wet Food Benefits
Wet food contains 70-80% moisture, significantly more than dry food. This helps with hydration.
Placement Tips
Multiple water stations around the home. Avoid near litter boxes. Various bowl types (ceramic, metal, glass).
