Hydration plays a huge role in your cat’s overall health. Learn how to spot dehydration early, boost daily water intake, and use simple, healthy tools — including clean-ingredient hydration boosters — to keep your cat drinking happily.
Most cats don’t drink enough water. Their wild ancestors got most of their moisture from prey, not bowls, which means our modern indoor companions often sip far less than they need. Over time, this can lead to urinary issues, constipation, low energy, dry skin, and unnecessary stress on the kidneys.
The good news? Cats can be encouraged to drink more — with clever bowl setups, moisture-rich feeding habits, and clean hydration-support products that make water appealing without unhealthy additives.

On average, cats require 50–60 ml of water per kg of body weight per day. A 4kg cat needs around 200–240 ml daily. Many cats naturally fall short — which is why hydration strategies matter.
