bulldog drinking more water

What is the best way to get my 5 year old female bulldog to drink more water? She has had 3 urinary tract infections in the last 2 or 3 years. I always have fresh water in her bowl,but she does not drink that much

Your best bet...

Is to add a cranberry supplement to her diet rather than trying to make her drink more water. UTIs aren't always caused by lack of drinking water... You can buy a good cranberry supplement at Walmart for a good price. I buy one with 4500 mg cranberry plus vitamin c. 

You can also filter her drinking water or use bottled water to encourage her to drink a little more if you really want to.

Another idea is to...

add in some low sodium chicken or beef broth to attract her.
