The Importance of Hydration for Pets

We talk a lot about the need to stay hydrated. Whether it’s the height of summer or the dryness of a cool winter, most of us either carry around a bottle of water or head to the water cooler regularly. We know it is good for our metabolism, cleans our digestive tract, keeps us alert and is good for our skin.

So what about our pets? They also need to be well hydrated in order to stay healthy. Veterinarians often state that…..

Pets need 1oz of water for every pound of their weight. TORUS™ stores water inside its reservoir walls giving peace-of-mind that your pet has fresh, filtered water all day.

Water helps prevent infection and disease, increases energy levels, maintains stable body temperature and blood circulation, filters waste, processes food and speeds up recovery time from sickness, surgery or injury.

Some of the most obvious signs of dehydration in your pet could be:

• Loss of energy
• Excessive panting
• Sunken, dry eyes
• Loss of appetite
• Vomiting and/or diarrhea
• Dry, sticky gums
• Loss of skin elasticity

How can we ensure that our pets have a water supply all day when often we are not with them? How about when they are out in the park or even traveling with you in the car?

The Torus Filtered Water Bowl has been designed to solve this issue simply and without the need to find a water or power source. 

Each Torus has three key components that help support pet hydration. Firstly, up to a ½ gallon of water is stored inside the walls of the bowl itself keeping it clean and cooler. The water passes through a unique filter as your pet drinks from the bowls central well. 

Next, Torus Bowls have the option to lock the water supply in the walls. This enables the Torus to be carried to the park or put in the car where it can be “unlocked” again so that your pet can drive when on the go. The low drinking well water profile means that you can drive while your pet is drinking.

Finally, all Torus Water Bowls contain NSF Certified antimicrobial technology. The antimicrobial significantly reduces the chemical reactions that create nasty microbes, and along with the Torus filter within the bowl, makes the Torus Bowls especially safe for your pet.
