That's basically my lamping mix what I take in a bottle with a sports cap. I throw a spoon of sugar and a Berocca tablet in there too.

 

Heard good stuff about the recharge though what Penny has mentioned.

I use the recharge tablets, cheap and fool proof. Had a mate nearly lose two dogs two weeks ago and the recharge tabs were the only thing that saved em. Both collapsed and were trembling

Would need more background to make an informed answer, ie why and how badly it is effected but in general in most cases water; it would be hard to get an adult dog so dehydrated that water wouldn't be enough without it being seriously ill.

 

If it’s collapsed/trembling after a testing run then the problem isn't dehydration but overheating and having burnt out all its available energy stores. In that scenario it’s important to get em cooled down asap and some glucose in them, recharge tabs have glucose so will help, they will drink a lot so historically people thought there're thirsty when in fact they are drinking to cool down so better a small drink to cool the mouth, throat and stomach then use water to cool them by wetting all bare skin etc,

I was out with a lad who ran his dog into the ground at the end of last season. Collapsed. Trembling. Looked on deaths door. I carried her to the motor ASAP and got to a 24hr garage and got a bottle of lucozade isotonic. The still stuff. Half the bottle given over the space of about 20 mins saw her stood up and walking about. I was amazed.

Gluscose and time to cool down work wonders.
