Your Pets and Alkaline Ionized Water

For many of us, drinking alkaline water is a necessity, but have you ever thought about the health benefits this water would have on Fido or Fluffy? Read further to see just what this water can do for your favorite four-legged friend.

Animals and Water

Cats and dogs need a sufficient amount of water just as we humans do. Generally dogs need ½-1 ounce of water per pound and cats need about an ounce per pound. So if you have a 50-lb dog, then he/she should be drinking 25-50 ounces per day, or 3-6 cups. This can vary depending on how hot it is, how much physical activity they are getting, how old they are, etc. If you are uncertain, consult with your veterinarian. As a side note, if your dog or cat starts drinking more or less water, let your vet know right away because this is often the first sign of illness.

The Benefits of Alkaline Water in Your Pet

The same ways you benefit from alkaline water are the same ways your pet will, too. The antioxidant property of alkaline water goes a long way in helping your pet eliminate free radicals, the pH level of the water can help raise the pH of your pet’s body, and the micro-clustering of the water makes it easier for the cell’s of your pet’s body to absorb the water and flush out built up acidic waste in the body.

The diet of cats and dogs has gone downhill in recent years. This is due in great part to the addition of corn as a staple in their store-bought food. Corn is not a food cats and dogs are supposed to eat. Their diet should consist primarily of protein, but a lot of pet foods have unnecessary and cheap fillers in them. You can tell by a dog’s coat. It should be shiny. Is your dog’s coat shiny or dull? A dull coat indicates it’s not getting enough protein in their diet. Corn is also metabolized by cats and dogs like we metabolize sugar. This can lead to sugar highs and sugar crashes, just like we experience when reaching for the mid-afternoon donut.

By eating this type of diet, your pet’s body becomes acidic and builds up acidic waste. And what does alkaline ionized water do with built-up waste in the body? You guessed it! It helps flush it out!

Animals also have a very keen since of smell. They smell the added chemicals in our tap water, the chlorine, fluoride, etc. And when given a bowl of tap water and a bowl of alkaline ionized water to drink, your pet will one-for-one choose the alkaline water.  

Conditions Alleviated by Giving Your Pets Alkaline Ionized Water

There are testimonials of dogs with allergies becoming allergy free once switching to alkaline water. Arthritis has also been greatly alleviated, if not completely gotten rid of.

Here is a list of pet ailments reduced if not handled permanently with alkaline ionized water:

Constipation

Diarrhea

Allergies

Dandruff

Arthritis

Weight loss

Joint pain

Patches in fur

Dull coat

I hope this has given you a little more information on the importance of the right type of water for your animal(s). And this doesn’t just apply to cats and dogs. Livestock have enjoyed the same benefits as cats and dogs when given alkaline ionized water. So, if you raise cows, pigs, goat, etc, or know someone who does, pass this along to them. It might just make a difference.

In one study, dairy cows switched to alkaline experienced these miraculous results:

1. Enhanced milk production by 18% - 28%.
