Are there any other liquids ie. juice that can serve as an alternative to water? My furchild doesn't seem to care so much for water lately and I don't want him to get dehydrated.

Thanks

You could give chicken broth

Be leary of any drinks w/ artificial sweetners in it. It can be deadly.

I'm not sure if Splenda and other popular sweetners are included...but they certainly are used in drinks like Vitamin Water and the Propel water line by Gatorade.

Do you mean to give in lieu of water? The answer is no. The desperately need water.
