🐾 How Much Water Does Your Pet Really Need? 🐾
Just like us, pets need water to stay healthy—but the amount depends on their size! Here’s a quick guide to make sure your furry friends are getting enough each day:
Dogs: Need about 1 ounce of water per pound of body weight daily. That’s roughly 2.5 cups for a 20-pound dog. Source: www.hillspet.com
Cats: Typically need 3.5 to 4.5 ounces of water for every 5 pounds of body weight. So, a 10-pound cat should have around 1 cup per day. Source: www.mywaggle.com
💧 Pro Tip: If you feed your pet dry food, they’ll likely drink a bit more. Fresh tap water is the best way to keep them happy, healthy, and hydrated!

Our Source Water
The Kennebec Water District has used China Lake as its source of supply since 1905. China lake, covering an area of 6.1 square miles and a maximum depth of 85 feet, holds about 31.7 billion gallons of fresh water at any given time and provides more than enough capacity year around. The intake is in the West Basin of the lake which is largely undeveloped due to the Kennebec Water District’s management of these lands for over 100 years. Click below to find out more.
