Dogua - High-Protein Hydration Motivator Mix
Description
Dogua – The Hydration Motivator
Ever wish your dog would actually drink their water when you wanted them to? Dogua turns hydration from a struggle into a craving.
Made from freeze-dried, single or dual natural ingredients, Dogua mixes instantly into water—infusing it with irresistible flavor and aroma that has every dog lapping (and licking) the bowl clean.
Hydration is vital for your dog’s performance, recovery, and overall well-being—but we can’t exactly tell them when to drink. Dogua bridges that gap, giving you a high-protein, natural way to incentivize healthy hydration before, during, or after activity.
Bonus: sprinkle it on meals to motivate picky eaters or add flavor to special diets.
Suggested Use: Dogua is very flavorful. Start with about 1 tsp per 6 oz of water and adjust as needed.

Why dogs run dry
Dogs drink to survive, not optimize.
They wait until they are already dehydrated, then gulp a lot at once.
Dogs hydrate reactively. That is a built-in limitation, not a picky-dog quirk, and it means you cannot simply tell your dog to drink when they need to.
Dogua changes that. It is a freeze-dried, high-protein flake that makes water rewarding enough that your dog will drink on cue. Add it to a bowl before a hike, after a run, or first thing in the morning, and you get ahead of the heat and the distraction.
Every dog tester so far has taken to it, including at a 400-plus dog agility event.
Put it to work
5 ways to put Dogua to work.
2
Re-hydrate
Mid-activity, dogs lock in and forget to drink. Use Dogua to get a little water in during activity, and a full bowl after.
3
Daily ritual
You start your day hydrated: coffee, water, a smoothie. Start your dog’s day with a bowl of Dogua, so they have a solid base for whatever the day brings.
4
Clean energy boost
We start with human-grade ingredients, then freeze-dry at low temperatures so Dogua keeps over 95% of its nutrients and loses over 98% of its water. The result is high-value calories dogs crave.
5
Make anything tasty
Sprinkle Dogua on water, food, or a lick mat. Great for picky eaters, hiding a pill, or making a boring bowl worth finishing.

I started using Dogua to improve my dog’s daily hydration and the difference was immediate. The freeze-dried formula dissolves easily, it’s low-calorie, and my dog actually loves drinking water now.

My dog has a sensitive tummy and is a super picky eater. The Dogua beef meal mixer has been amazing: gentle on his stomach, and he actually gets excited for mealtime and finishes his bowl.

Don’t chase hydration. Control it.
While I was a Navy SEAL, I learned that hydration is the single biggest driver of performance and health.
The same is true for dogs, but they are even worse than we are at listening to thirst, and they cannot plan ahead. That is where you come in: give your dog a reason to hydrate with Dogua.

Questions?
Can I give Dogua to my puppy?
Dogua is great for puppies. They're growing quickly, playing tons and need a reason to stay hydrated.
Dogua is a great way to potty train because you can control when they drink water and make it predictable for you when to take them out to potty.
How long does a tube of Dogua last?
We recommend starting with 1 tsp per 6 oz bowl of water, and adjust as needed to motive your dog. At this rate:
1 Tube -> 6 bowls of water -> 36 oz
1 Barrel -> 60 bowls of water -> 360 oz (Almost 3 gallons!)
What are the ingredients in Dogua Hydration Motivator Mix?
We keep it simple: freeze-dried, human-grade ingredients—no fillers, additives, or artificial flavors. Current flavors are Beef (single ingredient), Beef & Sweet Potato, and Beef & Banana.
We're excited to add more, so feel free to reach out and make a suggestion!
What is Dogua Hydration Motivator Mix?
Dogua is a freeze-dried hydration mix that flavors your dog's water to motivate them to drink.
Because dogs like tasty drinks too.
Just sprinkle it in, give a quick stir, and watch them lap it up. It's made from human-grade, single or dual-ingredient recipes—real food, not additives—and comes in a portable tube you can stash anywhere.
Why is optimizing hydration important for dogs?
Dogs are "reactive drinkers"—they drink to survive, not optimize.
That means most dogs operate in a state of mild, chronic under-hydration. Proper hydration supports joint health, digestion, kidney function, energy levels, and overall well-being.
The problem is you can't just tell your dog to drink more. Dogua gives them a reason to want to.
What makes Doggo Sessions treats different?
Three things: ingredients, format, and philosophy.
Our treats are freeze-dried, human-grade, and made with one or two real ingredients—no fillers, no mystery meals. Freeze-drying preserves flavor and nutrients without the need for preservatives, and keeps them shelf-stable for months.
The format is the real differentiator. Everything comes in portable, protective tubes you can stash anywhere—pocket, car, bag, desk drawer. They open and close one-handed, protect the treats from getting crushed, and make it easy to actually have treats on you when you need them. Most people don't train their dog more because they don't have treats with them. We solve that.
The philosophy behind it: every moment is a session. We make tools that help you engage with your dog more often, in more places—not just during formal training. That's what builds a well-trained, well-bonded dog.
Is Dogua safe for all dog breeds, ages, and sizes?
Yes, Dogua is designed for all dogs since it's made from simple, whole-food ingredients. If your dog has specific protein allergies (e.g., beef sensitivity), check the flavor ingredients. When in doubt, consult your vet.
What if my dog doesn't like it?
Send us an email with your order number and we'll make it right.
Where is Dogua made?
Dogua is made in small batches in Orange County, California. We use our own proprietary recipes and methods, and produce in-house. We like to keep an eye on quality!
Is Dogua grain-free?
Yes. We use 95/5 lean ground beef, sweet potato, and banana. If we ever add products with grains, this will be clearly stated in the ingredient list.
How should I store Dogua?
The most important thing is to keep the lid closed when not using so that it remains dry. Use any portion that gets wet in the same day.
Is there a limit on how much Dogua my dog can consume per day?
Dogua uses all-natural and healthy ingredients, so the only thing to be mindful of is calories.
1 tsp is 10 calories (typically used for 6 oz water).
10 tsp is 100 calories, which may be half a meal for a small dog. If today was an active day that may be a needed energy boost, but if Fluffy was lounging all day on the couch, maybe stick with a few teaspoons, unless he's just been a really good boy and deserves 10!
Do you offer a subscription service?
Yes. You can subscribe on any product page and save up to 15%, and, honestly, this is the way to go—commit to healthy hydration habits for your dog.
Building a daily Dogua habit is one of the simplest ways to support your dog's long-term health, and a subscription makes it effortless to stay consistent.
Can I use Dogua as a topper for food?
Absolutely. Sprinkle on top for picky eaters, new foods, extra motivation and love.
It's also a clean way to add extra protein and energy on active days.
