Formula

As a general guideline, the daily water requirement of dogs and cats, expressed in ml/day, is roughly equivalent to the daily energy requirement (DER) in kcal/day (for dogs 1.6 x resting energy requirement [RER], for cats 1.2 x RER).

dogs requirement of water (ml/day) = (70 (body weight in kg)^0.75) x 1.6

Water Requirement Dogs

General Rule

Although, a dog's water requirements are dynamic and very day to day. ALWAYS PROVIDE YOUR DOG WITH CLEAN FRESH WATER unless your vet specifies otherwise. Your dog is the best judge of how much water he needs. Just keep that bowl full :)

For Dogs at Risk for Kidney Stones

Ensure multiple bowls of fresh water are available in prominent locations in the dog's environment. This may mean providing several bowls outside as well as inside including each level of the home.
Add small amounts of flavoring (e.g. salt-free bouillon) to make water more palatable.
Offer ice cubes as treats.
Use canned dog food to help prevent concentrated urine.
If dry food is used, add liberal amounts of water.
