Who is Better Hydration best for...
Active dogs who need better recovery after exercise

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.

Definitely worth purchasing! And is an essential on our doggy hikes now. Assure they drink every last drop of water, to keep them hydrated - with the other added benefits too. What an awesome product!

Cannot recommend this product enough!

Fussy drinkers who ignore their bowl

My dogs all love Better Hydration, and it's great for keeping fussy drinkers hydrated all day. Ora in the video is a Xoloitzcuintle, and being Mexican can be very reluctant to drink.

Great product we use during and after training.
Would highly recommend
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.
Fifi, Gigi & Sassi puppy love love their better dog, perfect for hydration and stamina on warm days! We tried everything especially with Fifi, she just would not drink on agility days now she's chomping at the bit! thankyou Better Dog the poodles love it and its a relief they are getting proper hydration, definitely noticed a change, results have been amazing!
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.
This Mayhem and I representing CaniCross UK at a race in the Netherlands. Mayhem was just making sure I had his Better Dog ready for the end of his race! 🐾🐾
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
Mayhem at Canicross race in Holland this weekend. “Yes Mum, the packets lovely, now open it and get me my drink…!”
It’s his pre and post race hydration and he absolutely loves it!

My dogs all love Better Hydration, and it's great for keeping fussy drinkers hydrated all day. Ora in the video is a Xoloitzcuintle, and being Mexican can be very reluctant to drink after her agility runs.
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.
Dora absolutely loves this!
I’ve never been able to get her to drink whilst training and at shows now she loves break times!
Cannot recommend this product enough!
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
My dogs love Better Dog, Edna and Ernie are given their Better Dog drinks to hydrate pre, and post race and training and it works a treat. They just need to see the shaker and go mental, knowing they get an enjoyable treat that's good for them.
This is Blunder racing back to get his Better Dog Hydration at the NATB race last weekend! He adores the taste and it's the perfect way of rehydrating him after a race.
Odo is really enjoying his 2 x Better dog daily. It has also increased his appetite with is food, which he has been struggling with since a puppy. Its magic milk!!!
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.
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!!!
New bag, we took camping to agility.
When I opened the bag the zip seal was not attached to one side of the bag. In able to reseat the bag. With not bag to pup it is in the heat it has gone manly.
Brilliant product, dogs love it & reassuring on hot days & after agility they are kept hydrated. Easy to store & use. Customer service & speed of delivery is excellent.
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!
