It’s important to note that these are just general guidelines, and individual pets may require more or less water depending on their specific needs. Additionally, pets that are fed wet food will receive some of their daily water intake from their food, while those that eat dry food may require more water to meet their needs.

As a general rule, cats should consume approximately 3.5-4.5 ounces of water per 5 pounds of body weight per day. This means that an 8-pound cat should drink between 5.6 and 7.2 ounces of water each day.

Always make sure that your pet has access to clean, fresh water at all times, and monitor their water intake to ensure that they are staying properly hydrated.

For dogs, the amount of water they need can vary more widely depending on their size and activity level. As a general rule, dogs should consume approximately 1 ounce of water per pound of body weight per day. So, a 50-pound dog should drink around 50 ounces (or just over 6 cups) of water each day.
