How can I tell if my pet is dehydrated

Sure! Here are four ways to tell if your pet might be dehydrated:

**Check Their Gums**: If you lift their lip and see dry or sticky gums, that’s a red flag. Healthy gums should be moist and pink.

**Skin Elasticity Test**: Gently pinch the skin on the back of their neck or between their shoulder blades. If it doesn’t snap back quickly, they might be dehydrated.

**Lethargy or Weakness**: If your pet seems unusually tired or isn’t as playful as usual, it could be a sign they need more fluids.
