Cricket gets bottled.... er, it's distilled. It comes out of a jug container like a milk Carton With her liver issues, I read that distilled is supposed to help for her to not get bladder stones. (I don't know if she is still prone to them since she has had surgery, she NEVER has had one, but I don't want to chance it). My parents basset hound gets tap water and she runs to that water bowl any chance she gets. I try to limit her from tap water, but sometimes she accidently gets some.
