I read up on it quite a bit and didn't see anything regarding the dog's health and tap water. Really the only debate was whether or not it worked to fix the leaking eye problem.

Our vet is actually the one that recommended distilled water the first time we had problems switching tap water. (This was after I'd read about it fixing leaky eyes, but before we'd started using.) We went to visit my parents and I forgot to bring water from home (it was only our second trip with her). Chloe ended up vomiting and having diarrhea. We called the vet right away and she recommended the distilled water to prevent further problems (along with instructions for immediate recovery). Plus...around here you can never be too sure what they are putting in the water. I don't trust it to drink for myself!
