Chemistry is a branch of physical science that studies the composition, structure, properties and change of matter.
Daily water consumption varies quite a bit. Season of the year, workload, reproductive status, diet, and climate factor into the volume of water needed by a particular horse on a specific day. As a starting point, the average horse drinks between 5 and 10 gallons (19 and 38 liters) of water each day. The horse may need slightly less if it is grazing lush pasture because fresh grass contains a high percentage of liquid.
What to Look For. Start by measuring the amount of water your dog is actually drinking in a twenty-four hour period. An average healthy dog drinks about 1/2 to 1 ounce of water per pound of body weight per day. The amount of water your dog is drinking is an important piece of information to share with your veterinarian and can help avoid unnecessary testing. Keep in mind that dogs are very sloppy, inefficient drinkers.
