If there is no health issue with your tap water I can't imagine why you would not give it to them. |
Maybe its just Jaden but when I first had him and gave him tap water it seemed to upset his tummy and he would not drink it. Our tap water here isn't bad at all, not yellow or milky, and from what I've heard doesn't taste bad. I just personally have never drank tap water even as a kid, (I even use distilled water to wash my hair, I just like the way it feels better...I know I'm crazy
). If I'm away from home I want to drink bottled water and Jaden seems to prefer non-tap water as well, I don't know if he just has a sensitive tummy or what? Of course, I would think what you're saying about floride would be correct, makes sense to me anyway, but, he does get his teethed brush daily and we also use Petzlife as well as a dental cleaning once every six months so I think that makes up for whatever he's missing with the distilled water. I wonder if they've ever done any long term studies on dogs who drink tap versus purified?
