Nobody likes to admit their dog is a bit “over conditioned”. But hey, things happen! Let’s talk about how we can try and reverse it!

If your cat is drinking more than usual, it’s not something to brush off.
Common causes: • Kidney disease (very common, especially >7 yrs) • Diabetes • Hyperthyroidism • Urinary issues • Liver disease • Certain medications
What to watch for: • Empty water bowls faster than usual • Drinking from unusual places (sinks, glasses, showers) • Increased urination / larger clumps in litter box • Weight loss, appetite changes, vomiting
What to do: • Monitor changes over a few days (not weeks) • Don’t restrict water • Schedule a vet visit, this is usually diagnosed with basic bloodwork + urine testing
Early detection makes a huge difference with most of these conditions.
