Tuna flavored water?
It seems to me I've heard people mention giving their cats tuna flavored
water to get them to drink more water. Does anyone know where to find such a thing? -- Joy Don't believe everything you think |

But she will lick at the gravy from the cat food, and at the water drained off the tuna. Now, fresh tuna, that's another matter entirely. Little girl likes her sashimi. Jo |

From a can of tuna packed in water? Hugs and Purrs, Mark That's where I've been getting it. Unfortunately, I run out of tuna water long before I run out of tuna, so there are long dry spells. Pickles has been complaining about that. Joy |

It seems to me I've heard people mention giving their cats tuna flavored water to get them to drink more water. Does anyone know where to find such a thing? To counteract the salt in the brine of canned tuna in brine, would it be a total waste if you added some hot water to a little bit of tuna and let it "steep" (and cool off) for a while? The hot water would probably get more flavour out of the tuna than cold water would. It wouldn't be as salty, there would be some tuna flakes in the water, but would that be a plus or a minus, I don't know... -- Christine in Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com |

We gave it to our kitties until we learned that it's not good for them. Same as cow's milk, but for different reasons |

Neither does Boyfriend until less I give a dry meal. I have a bowl of water in the kitchen all the time and he can help himself to it as and when. I always feed/fed my cat/s wet food, that probably helps with not wanting or needing much water. I don't think I would encourage Pickles to want more tuna water. You need to ask the vet why she thinks your cats are dehydrated - are you feeding them entirely on dry food? Tweed |
