    THE HEAT IS ON!!!

    103 yesterday and it's supposed to be 104 today,my hounds aren't eating in this heat so i put power aid in their water.what else can i give them in this type of heat to help make up for them not eating?

    I'm in the panhandle of texas an 103 has been our BEST day this week. Today, we might stay a hair under that.

    I make sure my dogs have plenty of water to get in. Lots of shade and tons of water.

    I don't know what you feed, but I feed RAW and they still eat. There's a ton of moisture/water in their food, so that helps as well. Even if you don't feed RAW, it might be a good idea if only temporary so they get their nutrional needs. Even if it's only chicken quarters.

    That should do

    They don't eat late in the evening/night either?

    We are in Georgia and it hit 109 today, we feed raw and have had no problem with the dogs eating....we have brought some of the dogs inside even though we have to keep them in crates for a few days.

    Why don't you kibble-feeders "take a hint" and realize feeding kibble is inferior to feeding raw?

    You actually DEHYDRATE your dogs by feeding kibble, and what dog wants to be dehydrated while it's sitting in 105+ degree heat? Would you want to eat a bowl-full of bone-dry pellets while you're frying your as off in the sun?

    The biological facts are staring you in the face and yet you still can't see them

    It is truly amazing to me that people place "their own convenience" over all else when it comes to the care of their animals.

    What does this mean?

    Agree kibbles dehydrate your dog or at least makes them more thirsty.
    If i give my housedog 500 gr of raw which consists of 60 % water.(300ml) He doesnt even drink a drup extra out of his bowl.
    When i gave him kibbles he drank at least twice as much each day.
    Fluids in meat are also much healthier and efficient to your dogs then tap water

    What OGDOGG was trying to say is that if AC comes by, the water bowls are always full cause a dog on raw hardly ever drinks.
