Improving the taste does not, however, improve the water. Fluoride added to the water can only be removed by three processes from what I have learned...reverse osmosis, ozonation, and distillation. Bottled water is tap water from 'somewhere' with unknown additives.
An ozonator or reverse osmosis system, even if only used for drinking water, should help prevent additional microbial infection. You can ozonate Gerber water, etc., and health food stores sell ozonated water, often in plastic bottles...which never made sense to me but distilled water is sold in plastic, too. We have bought ozonated water in gallon jugs, too...at the supermarket. I suggest reading the label on the water, strange as that sounds.
I am sorry you have endured so much, but understand what Cody means yo you. Poor baby has been through a lot himself and I understand your worry. I think it will not hurt to clean up his food and water, and hopefully quickly the rest of the answers will be discovered so he can recover from these issues.
Welcome and congratulations on finding your new best friend, the adorable Cody. |
How very nice of you to offer up this info. I’ve known for years about chemicals bleeding out from plastic. Yearsss ago I read not to feed dogs from plastic dishes, bowls, due to chemicals bleeding out into food and water, article read use, glass, ceramic or stainless steel ONLY, and that’s what I use. When I was advised (by an on line Nutritionist ) that tap water was TOXIC and to use bottled Spring water, well, my area only sells water in plastic jugs, so in my mind I am saying how can water in plastic jugs be less toxic then tap water, I did send a reply back about this. Only solution for me is a filter. I believe it’s the Purex Pitcher, several members suggested that, That’s what I will get my nx trip shopping. Cody is only 2 y/o just a baby, he has so many more years ahead of him. He was tossed to the curb by prev. owners, that LOVED HIM DEEPLY, for what reason, (which could be 3 that I know of) my heart is ripped out that could surrender this awesome lil pup. I want to give him the BEST and HAPPIEST life I can. Again thank you for this info and your concern for my lil cody
