How much water should my cat drink each day?

Cats are famously bad at drinking from the bowl, and that worries a lot of owners. A handy rule of thumb is about 50 ml of water per kg of body weight per day, but that total includes the water in her food.

Use the calculator to see how much your cat's wet and dry food already covers, learn what a change in drinking looks like, and pick up easy ways to encourage more drinking. Always ask your vet about sudden changes.
