Like humans, pets can suffer serious health issues from dehydration— especially in warm weather. That’s why it’s important for dog owners to recognize the signs when their pup isn’t getting enough water.
The Veterinary Emergency Group says symptoms of mild dehydration can include:
• Thickening of the dog’s saliva.
• Gums may go from sticky to dry.
• Excessive panting may begin.
• Vomiting or diarrhea also may occur.
• Dehydration causes the body to redistribute fluid lost, and fluid may be pulled from the eyes, causing the eyes to appear sunken.
• Dry nose, although this also can be a signal of other problems, like fever.
• Excessive drooling occurs as the dog tries to cool down its body.
• A dehydrated dog can exhibit signs of fatigue, including a reluctance to move around much.
• Sticky gums As dehydration worsens, symptoms may include:
• Loss of elasticity of the skin.
• Loss of appetite.
If your dog seems dehydrated, offer small sips of water and call your vet. They may recommend an electrolyte drink like Pedialyte or suggest a visit for IV fluids.
The best way to treat dehydration is to prevent it. Always give your dog plenty of clean water, especially in heat or during exercise. Cats also are prone to dehydration and can exhibit the same symptoms as dogs. So cat owners also must be diligent in checking for dehydration symptoms in their pets. TF247132

Health & Wellness
What is wellness?
Wellness is a popular but sometimes unclear concept. Those seeking a stronger body and mind may wonder how different strategies can help them reach their goals.
health. Wellness acts as the plan or individual pursuit to achieve health and thus a greater sense of well-being.
Wellness is the active pursuit of holistic health through lifestyle choices. It includes spiritual, social, psychological, and physical aspects, supported by self-care like rest and relaxation. Though often used interchangeably, wellness, health, and well-being are distinct.
Better understanding of the niche components of overall health and wellness can help people enjoy physical and mental benefits and live more fulfilling lives.

Health: The University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign says health often is defined as the absence of illness and disease, so various physical, social and mental conditions fall under the health umbrella.
• Learning ways to avoid or manage stress
• Being open to new ideas and perspectives
Well-being: Although there are different definitions for well-being, the term generally refers to living a fulfilling life in which a person feels content. The World Health Organization says well-being is "a positive state experienced by individuals and societies."
• Engaging in social activities, volunteerism and contributing to the community
• Finding meaning or purpose
Wellness: The whole-health organization Take Care® says wellness refers to the pursuit of activities, choices and lifestyles that create
