CANIS LAB
When plain water is not appealing enough for your dog
Canis Lab Hydrant is a powdered hydration and electrolyte drink that combines water with electrolytes, minerals and the flavour of beef broth.
It is useful before sport, a longer walk or hike, as well as on hot days when you want better control over your dog's fluid intake.
31%
Electrolytes and minerals
The manufacturer states that electrolytes and minerals make up 31% of the blend's nutritional profile.
BEEF
Beef broth
Dried meat-and-bone broth gives the blend its meaty flavour.
30–120
Before activity
The manufacturer recommends giving the drink 30–120 minutes before the planned activity.
For hot weather, sport and longer outings
Hydrant is not intended only for competition dogs. The manufacturer also targets it at dogs during hot days, longer walks, trips and hikes.
The idea is to prepare a flavoured drink that supplies electrolytes and minerals together with water.
What you will find in the formula
Dried beef broth
Broth made from meat and bones forms the flavour base of the drink and may make it more appealing to the dog.
Electrolytes
The formula contains sources of sodium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and calcium.
Brewer's yeast
One of Hydrant's declared core ingredients.
Lecithin and psyllium
Two further ingredients in the manufacturer's current formula.
How to prepare Hydrant
1
Measure out Hydrant
Use a total of 2–4 teaspoons. According to the manufacturer's current recommendation, the dose does not depend on the dog's weight.
2
Add water
Use 5–10 ml of water for every kilogram of the dog's body weight.
3
Give before activity
The manufacturer recommends 30–120 minutes before the planned exercise.
Approximate amount of water
| Dog's weight | Hydrant | Water |
|---|---|---|
| 5 kg | 2–4 tsp | 25–50 ml |
| 10 kg | 2–4 tsp | 50–100 ml |
| 15 kg | 2–4 tsp | 75–150 ml |
| 20 kg | 2–4 tsp | 100–200 ml |
| 25 kg | 2–4 tsp | 125–250 ml |
| 30 kg | 2–4 tsp | 150–300 ml |
The amount of water is a mathematical conversion of the manufacturer's recommendation of 5–10 ml/kg. According to the current instructions, the Hydrant dose is 2–4 teaspoons regardless of the dog's weight.

When does Hydrant make the most sense?
Hot weather
When you want to offer your dog a flavoured drink with electrolytes and minerals before activity.
Sport and training
Before physical activity, when it makes sense to think about water intake in advance.
Trips and hikes
For longer days outdoors when the dog will be moving for several hours.
A dog that drinks little
The meaty flavour of beef broth can make the prepared drink more appealing than plain water.
Hydrant is not a substitute for cooling and water
Even a hydration supplement does not replace fresh drinking water, shade, breaks and adapting activity to the temperature.
In hot weather, the most important thing is not to overexert the dog and to allow regular rest and cooling. Hydrant is a supplement to the drinking regime, not protection that makes it safe to exercise in unsuitable conditions.
Frequently asked questions
How much Hydrant should I give my dog?
The manufacturer's current recommendation is a total of 2–4 teaspoons regardless of the dog's weight.
How much water should I use?
The manufacturer recommends 5–10 ml of water for every kilogram of the dog's weight. For a 15 kg dog, for example, that is 75–150 ml.
When should Hydrant be given?
The manufacturer recommends giving the drink approximately 30–120 minutes before the planned activity.
Is Hydrant only for sporting dogs?
No. The manufacturer also recommends it for hot days, long walks and hikes, so it can be useful outside competitive sport as well.
What is the difference between Hydrant and Agilight?
Hydrant focuses primarily on fluids, electrolytes and minerals. Agilight is formulated for agility, obedience and similar sports where energy and focus are important alongside hydration.
What is the difference between Hydrant and Speed & Power?
Hydrant is primarily a hydration and mineral drink. Speed & Power is positioned by the manufacturer as an energy-focused pre-workout drink for more demanding performance.
Does Hydrant replace plain water?
No. The dog must still have access to fresh drinking water. Hydrant serves as a supplement to the drinking regime, especially before exertion or during more demanding conditions.
