During SUPERZOO 2025, Phelps Pet Products unveiled H2GO!, the first-to-market hydration gel for dogs, a useful solution for replenishing fluid loss during travel, outdoor activity or hot weather. This lickable gel for dogs is said to be more effective than water by weight, thanks to hydrocolloids that help to slow the movement of water through the digestive system, prolonging contact with intestinal walls for better absorption through the bloodstream, and reducing water loss through urination.
“We believe H2GO! is the biggest breakthrough in dog hydration since the waterbowl,” said Sydney Stewart, brand manager at Phelps Pet Products. “There’s nothing else like it on the market. It’s designed for real-life scenarios where water isn’t always accessible and dogs need a quick, effective way to stay hydrated.”
