Just thought I should post this where everyone would actually see it. It's really neccessary you give bottled/filtered water to your dog, but many dogs have such severe allergies that they HAVE to have bottled water. One Bichon Frise that comes in often for grooming always has a huge gallon of Evian with her b/c it could literally kill her if she drank anything else. Besides, when we think about all the crud and crap in our water system today, it makes us feel better to drink bottled water ourselves right? Anyways, just thought I'd share the allergy fact. It's definately not a bad idea to go on ahead and give your dog filtered water.
