Electrolytes for Dogs

About Electrolytes For Dogs

In cases where your dog is suffering from serious dehydration, electrolyte supplements are highly effective at restoring the minerals and fluids lost from low fluids. The most common reason dogs experience severe dehydration are caused by vomiting, diarrhea or heat stroke. Giving electrolytes to your dog along with plenty of water is the best way to help avoid severe dehydration.
