If I may go a bit theoretical, only to express a thought of mine, we know that dogs do not swet, so no water lost for cooling purposes. We know that in humans a gram of glycogen holds 2.5 - 3 gr of water, so for every 4 grams of weight lost 1 gr of glycogen has been used, could this be a way to calculate how much glycogen the dog used and use it for replenishment purposes? Of course I might be completely stupid and make an ass of myself, but it just came to me and decided to express it.

Although dogs don't sweat for cooling purposes, they do lose a truckload of water out of their mouth (slobber) for cooling purposes ...
