My senior dog isn't drinking enough. How much water does she need?

Question

As far as I know dogs should drink approximately one ounce of water per pound of body weight each day. My girl weight around 27kilo and drinks from 1L to 1.5L of water per day depending on how much I can push it. I did calculate to find out she must drink 2L instead per day. How can I make her love water and drink more? Or is it okay? She is a senior and I want her to stay healthy as long as I can do something about it. Thank you for your time.

You can try getting Moka a dog water fountain. It’s provides a continual source of fresh water, and it encourages dogs to drink. I have one, and my dogs love it. You can find them online or at a pet store.
