| All water is not created equal I am concluding that water IS a big deal. I like the idea of the Gerber water. We have been using non-chlorinated bottled water of almost any brand that we buy in cases. But I really dislike discarding a bottle every couple of days. Buying a gallon makes sense. We also have the challenge of air travel where we can't take bottled water through security so we have to buy whatever bottled water they have in the airport once we're inside the secure area. |

| For my dog bottled water is a must because of loose stools, and the brand of water is also important for that reason. I do not know what brands I was buying 3 years ago, it could have had fluoride in them and the reason why my fur baby didn't like it and stool was still soft and mussy. I just checked the label on the Poland Springs, it just read natural spring water. What I do know is, Cody will drink it and his stools are normal.

I will be looking at all the brands mentioned including Poland. I've seen Gerber before, but not Poland. Is that a common brand at some chain? We have Costco, Fred Meyer, Safeway/Albertsons and some independents. | |

| They do sell Poland Springs at CVS pharmacies but they are a bit more expensive then a supermarket, the stores that named I do not have in my area. We do have a Price Chopper supermarket where I buy the water at a very reasonable price. CVS pharmacy did have sales on the water making it more reasonable to buy. I bought my water at CVS on and off sale for 2 years until I discovered this supermarket sold it. Also, they sell it in soft one gals and hard plastic one gals. I buy it in the hard plastic, I don't know if there is a dif. in taste between the soft or hard plastic, but you know these quirky lil yorkies lol, so I stay only with the hard. I have attached a pic of what the hard plastic looks like

| Actually Gerber is the brand name of the chicken we buy at the Amish farmers market! It has no hormones or anything bad in it, and is incredibly tender- literally you don't need a knife to cut it. After having that, you never want to go back to Purdue! |

| Thought this was interesting, just enter your zip code & choose your water municipality....so much cancer causing contaminants in tap water (ours' anyway) . https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/search-...p#.WXj--On1i71
