Granted, if your pup's problem is allergies or some other source, then this may not help. Just speaking from my experience!

P.S. Also, distilled water has been great for us b/c we travel at least once a month and changing up Chloe's water was causing her to have an upset tummy. No more problems in that area now either!

Are any of the nutrients that are in tap water missed by the puppies when using distilled water. I thought that some of the trace elements in tap water where required for our health.
