How can I get my puppy to drink more water if he seems dehydrated?

Question

Hello. Concerned for my puppy. Doesn’t seem to drink much water. He’s 17 weeks and has not been sick. Eats his dry food well and very playful and gets nice walks. Found him 10 days ago and had first round of shots last Wednesday. Today got warmed at petco. He’s terrier maybe beagle mix. Let’s just say it seems he drinks a cup or two a day. And that’s a maybe. Pulling up skin and definitely seems dehydrated. He will drink when I ask sometimes. How can I encourage him to drink more thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 2 days old | 10.2 lbs

It could be that the amount of water that he is drinking is appropriate for his weight and age, without any other clinical signs I would not worry too much. Just make sure that you change his water regularly so that it is always fresh. If you are really worried, you could add plain lukewarm water to his biscuits, leave them to soak 5 minutes and the offer.
