Puppy Drinking Water Schedule
When your pup wakes up, go outside with your pup:
Puppy drinking water schedule. Your puppy needs to rest. Once they’ve been weaned, they should be drinking between 0.5 to 1 fluid ounce per pound of body weight each day. Excessive drinking in dogs can be a tricky problem.
The general rule of thumb is half a cup of water every two hours. Puppy wakes up from nap. If your puppy shows any signs of dehydration, increase water intake by half a cup every two hours.
If you’re not able to keep an eye on your dog throughout most parts the day, schedule a time to refill their water. After feeding, bring your puppy outside, and then allow him free playtime until feeding him again at 5 p.m. This is the time when the pup will naturally start to slowly wean from her mother’s milk and start becoming more independent.
How to deal with a hungry puppy? You’ll want to monitor your puppy to make sure he’s drinking enough. At age 6 to 12 months you may spay or neuter your dog, which will result in slightly lower needs for calories per day.
Play or train with your puppy: Drinking more water or being more active reduces the amount of time that your puppy can “hold it”. It’s completely normal for a puppy to pee right after drinking water, especially, when they drink too much too fast.
Around 3:30 or 3:45 p.m., let your puppy outside to relieve himself, and then bring him inside for playtime, food and water. It’s about 8 glasses every day, which sounds kind of hard to do. Make sure the water bowl and the water are clean before giving it to your dog.
