| Thirsty on Innova EVO? I know it is a good thing he is drinking water but he seems to be drinking more since we started eatting Innova EVO. Is this ok? Anyone else on EVO?

| The information I sent you should explain any problems with your baby. When the rendering plants boil all the "stuff" to make dog food, it isn't always exactly alike each time! |

| Dogs will always drink more on kibble because there is no moisture in it. They also drink more water on higher protein and grain-free foods. I'm all for high-protein, grain-free diets but I think they are best fed in a moist form such as raw or canned. Mine are on raw and they don't drink a whole lot of water because they get so much moisture from their food

| I believe the formula is: for every cup of kibble, double the water intake. 1/2 cup kibble = 1 cup water.

| on EVO From puppyhood Chibi has been eating kibble, now he has been EVO for about a year. So we haven't noticed that he is drinking more. What others have posted makes sense(kibble is dry so they drink more as opposed to wet food/home cooked). We've found that he is quite healthy on EVO-shiny coat, energetic, his eyes aren't watery...plus I'm happy that the grain isn't from China. Every little dog is different, hopefully this food works out for your little one.
