Love this product. I use it for my two labs at agility shows and increasingly in this hot weather. Walking up the hill from Ringstead yesterday my friends dogs loved it too . They have now ordered some 😉

Both dogs love it, they even check out each other’s bowl. The older dog has problems with her back legs and can struggle to get up later in the day. I have noticed lately that she is playing more, running more and no longer seems to be struggling to get up later in the day. Many thanks.

My dog loves it, we take it on a beach walk with us to ensure he has enough to drink (that’s not sea water!) On hot days, we make ice cream from BetterDog!

Our boy loves this! Whether it's after an agility run or after a long walk this is the perfect thing for him as he can sometimes not want to drink water. The new packaging also keeps sealed and is perfect when transporting

We have been using this since it was launched. We use it so much and not just on agility days. It’s great during really hot weather to ensure my dogs are kept hydrated plus on walks and seaside days. Can’t recommend enough.

I wanted to try Better Dog Hydration on my young Sheltie Anya, i thought it would be good after agility training and travelling as she doesn't do well in the car and drools so would be losing quite a bit of fluids. I also have 4 Chihuahuas at home ranging from 9 to 14yrs, and anyone who owns a toy breed will tell you they are a nightmare for drinking, Different Dog has changed this, i feel both Anya and the Chi's are getting much better Hydration and love Different Dog, i have after the heatwave we have had this week also been making DD frozen treats which have gone down amazingly with all the dogs, although i am quite a new customer i think i have found my go to, for keeping everyone hydrated and looking and feeling fantastic.

I didn’t feel my dog drank enough at agility training or shows, especially when it is hot. I bought better hydration at crufts to give it a try. My girl absolutely loves it! She knows the noise of the shaker and god help me if I’m not quick enough to serve it up at the van after a run!! She loves it so much I have started using it ring side sometimes as a reward for after completing her course.

It’s hard to get mine two dogs to drink unless it’s a really hot day but now I use Better Hydration it’s a race to the bowl! As soon as they see me preparing the drink they are there waiting!

I have found that Better Hydration is perfect for post run hydration for Canicross runs and on our long runs I take some out with me. My Labrador loves it and I know he is getting the nutritional replenishment he needs. My other dogs love it too and although they are older and less active I water it down in order that they don’t take on too many calories but it helps to keep them hydrated as one of my older dogs doesn’t drink much normally but loves this

My dogs absolutely love Better Dog, they cant get enough. Its brilliant as a post race or training drink, where my dogs have worked hard. I also give it to them as a treat, as soon as they see the shaker, they go mad, knowing theyre getting a tasty drink treat and it benefits their diets too.

Daisy the typical chihuahua seems to think water is not really that important and you would swear she never drinks, however she loves the hydration and it’s such peace of mind to know she has drank in between classes and training and even at the end of the day as a little treat it’s extremely reassuring

I contacted Better Dog to ask about hydration for my Labrador whilst training for our Canicross half marathon. They recommended Better Hydration for during our run alongside after our runs. My boy absolutely loves it and I feel more confident I’m doing the best for him. I would highly recommend the product and the customer service

Poppy loves Better hydration so much that I have to put it in her water otherwise she won't have a drink!!! She especially likes a drink of it after her agility class.

Customer photo review of Better Hydration

This is the face of a very happy boy; he'd finished drinking his Better Dog then stole the rest of the packet and proceeded to shred the bag and lap up the powder. If you look closely, you can see the evidence all over his face. Given that he'd just won up a grade at his KC agility class, I chose to look the other way at his thieving and the mess!!!

Love how convenient this is. Can make up it up on the day and use it instantly. So reassuring to know he is hydrated and drinking enough on a competition day. It definitely gives him an extra boost of energy too; he shows no signs of tiredness after a full weekend of competition when he’s drinking this in between runs.

Betterdog is a life saver for us at Flyball! It has really helped our dogs stay hydrated and assisted in maintaining their times and performance over multiple racing days at our Champs event. A bonus that they love it too, even our fussy dogs. Thank you!
