Hydration Fixation: Beyond the Water Bowl
Water is the most essential nutrient. However, there is no consensus on optimal water intake or on the impact of adequate hydration on
feline health. This presentation will review water intake, loss, and relevant physiologic idiosyncrasies of cats. We will discuss multiple
strategies for increasing water intake including a novel nutrient enriched water supplement that has been shown to lead to increased fluid
intake, increased urine volume, and decreased urine specific gravity.
