Remember dogs drink out of mud puddles and eat poop. We may think of them as babies but they have dog bodies that have the needs of a dog.

oops..didn't know that, I guess water is not even safe
The reason why I gave distilled is because when I gave him drinking water from the gallon I purchased out of the store it gave him the poops, but when he had distilled he was fine.
I read somewhere that you shouldn't give spring because you don't know if it "actually" came from a spring.
Oh geez..just another thing for me to worry about.
I ended up calling
South Jersey Veterinary Emergency Service
535 Maple Ave.
Linwood, NJ
609-926-5300
And spoke with the vet and he told me that distilled water is fine.
* I didn't call my vet because they are closed, so being that I'm mega
paranoid I ended up calling 5 more emergency vets in various states
and they also said distilled is fine.
I'm not sure I'm convinced though, since people on here do know whats best...right?
