[nagdu] puppy follow!

[Mark J. Cadigan]

For water consumption, I red an article somewhere that said something like 
"a dog will drink one ounce per pound of body weight." However, I was unable 
to locate the research behind this. For more information check out 
http://www.petmd.com/dog/nutrition/evr_dg_the_importance_of_water



A 60lb dog will drink around 60 ounces of water. That's 7.5 cups a day. 
Also, remember that water consumption can vary depending on environmental 
factors.
