Supplementing Dog's Water Question

[RPK0620]

I try to run my GSP 3 to 4 times a week for extended periods of an hour or more. I do get her out daily for short periods of exercise.

On the extended runs I wear a Camelbak which carries more than enough water for her while we are out.

However, I was wondering if anyone here uses or recommends a hydration supplement that would be added to the water that might be better than plain water ?

Thanks in advance.

I cant recommend anything for you and your pup but, I tried using this...

for Remi but she is picky and wont really touch it. If you want to give it a shot with your dog, you're more than welcome to take the rest from me. I may give this another try with her if you pass on the offer.

What about Gatorade or something close 

I also taught one of my dog to drink from a sport bottle

.I also heard of adding corn syrup to there water before you go out

Guys,

Thanks for your responses and the offer.

Since I made this post, I did a lot of looking around on some of the gun dog forums and it seems that a good diet and a meal at a minimum of 12 hours before hunting and then plenty of water before, during and after a hunt or run is really all that is needed. And of course rest afterwards.
