quiet environment.<br data-start=\"1409\" data-end=\"1412\" \/>However, most hotels don&#8217;t have dedicated staff monitoring water intake, so we recommend choosing a medical-grade hotel or an in-home pet sitter service.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1447\" data-end=\"1530\"><strong data-start=\"1447\" data-end=\"1465\">Q2: How much water should a CKD cat drink per day?<\/strong><br

approximately 160\u2013240 ml of water daily, provided in multiple servings with intake recorded each time.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1532\" data-end=\"1557\"><strong data-start=\"1532\"
