Minimum daily water intake for dogs

Dogs have different weights and need different amounts of water, and puppies will need more water than adult dogs. Based on body weight, puppies need to drink 100-150 ml/kg of water per day, while adult dogs need to drink 60-120 ml/kg of water per day. If the dog drinks water within this range, the owner does not need to worry too much. This is the normal amount of water the dog drinks. Here is an estimate of how much water your dog should drink every day.
5 kg body weight: drink about 300ml of water every day,
10 kg body weight: drink about 400~600ml of water every day,
20 kg body weight: drink about 1000~1200ml of water every day,
40kg body weight: drink about 1800~2400ml of water every day.
