4 Tips to Get Your Dog to Drink More Water

You've heard that old saying, "dogs are man's best friend." If that's the case then shouldn't the dog's water be just as good as the man's? You could give your dog or best friend quality water. The best water company at the Lake of the Ozarks is here to give you a few tips to get your dog to drink more water. Typically, your dog should have 1 ounce of water for every pound of their body weight per day. If you are searching for a way to give your dog quality water at a fair price, then call your Culligan Man at the Lake of the Ozarks at (573) 346-5221. 

4 Tips to Get Your Dog to Drink More Water

Tip # 1

Take water with you, for your dog, on trips.

If you are taking your dog for a long hike or just for a stroll through the dog park, make sure you are prepared. Bring a bottle of water and a portable, outdoor-friendly dog bowl. Your dog may get tired and this is a great way to motivate them to drink more water when they do.

Tip # 2

Clean your dog's water bowl frequently.

Think about it, would you want to drink water from a dirty glass? No. Clean your dog's water bowl on a regular basis and don't let it get dirty and unsanitary. 

Tip # 3

Change your dog's water frequently.

Who doesn't love having fresh water? It is possible your dog may not like the taste of certain temperatures of water. Try changing their water and giving them fresh water throughout the week. 

Tip # 4

Try adding ice cubes to your dog's water bowl.

Your dog may love colder water and giving them ice cubes made from quality water may be one of the best things you can do to get them to drink more of it.

Macaroni and Cheese

Total:55 min
Prep: 15 min
Cook: 40 min

Yield: 6 servings

Level: Easy

Ingredients

4 cups dried macaroni
1 whole egg
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
2 heaping teaspoons dry mustard (more if desired)
1 pound sharp Cheddar, grated (not pre-grated cheese), plus more for baking
Salt
Seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Optional spices: cayenne pepper, paprika, thyme

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Cook the macaroni until still slightly firm. Drain and set aside.

In a small bowl, beat the egg. In a large pot, melt the butter and sprinkle in the flour. Whisk together over medium-low heat. Cook for a couple of minutes, whisking constantly. Don't let it burn. Pour in the milk, add the mustard and whisk until smooth. Cook until very thick, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low.

Take 1/4 cup of the sauce and slowly pour it into the beaten egg, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs. Whisk together until smooth. Pour the egg into the sauce, whisking constantly. Stir until smooth. Add in the cheese and stir to melt. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt and the pepper. Add any additional spices if desired. Taste the sauce and add more salt and seasoned salt as needed! DO NOT UNDERSALT.

Pour in the drained, cooked macaroni and stir to combine. Serve immediately (while it's still very creamy) or pour into a buttered baking dish, top with extra cheese and bake until bubbly and golden on top, 20 to 25 minutes.

Thanksgiving Recipes That Include Water

Who doesn't love a good chicken or turkey gravy to pour over your mashed potatoes or stuffing?

Source: How Sweet Eats

HOW TO MAKE GRAVY

yield: I'D SAY THIS SERVES ABOUT 8 PEOPLE GENEROUSLY (TOTALLY DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH YOU LOVE GRAVY)
total time: 15 MINUTES

INGREDIENTS:

the drippings from a turkey, chicken, etc (be sure to add extra stock BEFORE roasting if desired)
16 ounces cold water
3 heaping tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and pepper!!!

DIRECTIONS:


Strain the drippings from the roasting pan into a large pot or saucepan and set it over medium heat. Add the cold water to a shaker bottle (or water bottle/mason jar) and add the flour on top. Shake the heck out of it for 30 to 60 seconds, until the flour seems completely incorporated and creates a slurry. With a whisk or fork in one hand, pour the slurry into the drippings, sitting constantly with the other hand. Continue to stir to avoid any lumps and stir until the gravy has thickened, anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes. Make sure you are scraping the bottom of the pan.

Taste the gravy and season it to your liking. Set it over low heat for serving. Like soups and sauces, it often tastes better the next day!
