Thirst & Wee Tracker
Drinking and weeing more is one of the first things owners notice when something is changing, and one of the most useful to measure. Log roughly how much your dog or cat drank over a day and the tool works out their ml per kg, the figure vets read, with a calm flag if it crosses the “drinking a lot” line. For members, watch the trend over time. A wellbeing aid, not a diagnosis.
Is this a dog or a cat?
Cats normally drink less than dogs, so the “too much” line is lower for them. This sets the right one.
How to measure their water
Put down a measured amount of water, then 24 hours later measure what is left. The difference is roughly what they drank. Count every bowl, top up from the same jug so you can keep track, and allow a little for evaporation on warm days. If other pets share the bowls, this will be the household total rather than one pet's. Pets on wet food drink less from the bowl because their food is mostly water, so a lower figure can still be perfectly normal.

Where increased thirst leads
Drinking and weeing more is a shared early signal, not a diagnosis. These are the three places it most often points, each a manageable condition caught early:
