* Filtered water: Filtered water is a safe and healthy option for puppies, as it removes impurities.
* Bottled water: Bottled water is also safe, but it can be expensive.
* Avoid giving puppies:
* Milk: Cow's milk can cause digestive problems in puppies.
* Juice: Juice is high in sugar and can be harmful to puppies.

How much water should a puppy drink?
Puppies need to drink plenty of water, especially if they are active or hot. A good rule of thumb is to offer water to your puppy several times a day, and always have fresh water available.
Signs of dehydration in puppies:
* Lethargy
* Sunken eyes
* Dry gums
* Loss of appetite
* Panting
If you notice any of these signs, your puppy may be dehydrated and needs to see a vet immediately.
