Water is vital to survival and good health. It is not recommended that puppies go without water for a long time. Puppies can usually go without water for about 2 to 3 days. As you can see, dogs can only survive for a few days without water before they start to really experience the negative health consequences. If your puppies refuse to drink water, there are other canine-friendly hydration options to try out.
