Carrying 40 litres of water is huge and while it's not a issue to carry for me it's all added weight plus the dogs weight as well along with food starts to add up. The more I look into this maybe a pet isn't such a good idea because of such remote locations I travel.
It will depend on the dog.

I have no clue how much water my dog consumes on a daily basis. We live on the East Coast USA and right now we have more than enough water. FWIW I have seen people touring with a wide range of animals; cats, dogs, ferrets, birds and one guy was apparently relocating via bicycle and had an 8' boa constrictor.
