The Red Dog Inn

We had a heat wave where we live, and my husky-cross wasn’t drinking much water during the day.  It’s not for lack of water. I have a couple water bowls strategically placed throughout area full of fresh drinking water. So I was a little worried about him staying adequately hydrated and stumbled across this solution.

I mixed a 50/50 solution of water and low sodium chicken broth (If you have a Trader Joe’s by you, pick some up. I checked the labels and TJ’s Low Sodium Chicken broth has the lowest sodium content!)  and poured it into ice cube trays.  When I’d leave for the day I’d give each dog a couple cubes.  They LOVED them. Not only did they get a low calorie, low sodium treat, but they stayed hydrated while I was out.

Give it a shot!  Let me know how it works for you and your pet.
