Before we discuss the signs of dehydration in a dog flat-coats will look at healthy hydration in dogs. To maintain your dog's nutritious state and help it maintain normal functions it needs access to clean fresh water in its own drinking bowl. A dog will need approximately 45 - 50mls of water per kilogram of bodyweight each day. So an averaged sized flat coated retriever will need about 1.5 litres of water each day. This amount will vary for each dog, depending on whether it is fed dry or wet food, the weather, the amount of exercise it gets, etc.
  Whilst my four legged companion sat beside me I wrote a book which tells the story of The Grey Lady Ghost of the Cambridge Military Hospital which reveals her origins in the QAIMNS and where she meets a QA veteran of Afghanistan. She still walks her wards and tells her story by taking Scott Grey, a QARANC nurse, to the battlefields of World War One and beyond. This is the first in the series of Grey and Scarlet Novels by CG Buswell. Read the first chapter for free.

Avoid plastic bowls, which are easily chewed and buy metal bowls instead, buying a separate one for the dog's water and food. Wash these daily and provide a fresh supply of clean water several times a day to maintain your puppy's health. It should have ready access to the water throughout the day and at night. If your dog is fed dried food it should have access to water immediately after eating, as it is more likely to be thirsty.
Milk should not be given to adult dogs, as they cannot digest lactose because they do not produce the enzyme lactase, which breaks down the products.
A placemat beneath the dog's bowl will soak up any spillages and stop the bowl slipping and prevent damage to your floor.
