If you drink a lot of water, you realize that tap water just tastes horrid! We give Yoda what we drink, which is usually just water from the fridge (but with a filter on it) or bottled water when we are out. He seems to like it, then again, he drinks from muddle puddles at times if we don't watch him.

LMAO, yea me too. I can't imagine buying cases of bottled water for a dog... I don't even drink bottled water

Only filtered water for us, too. Our tap water is nasty, so we installed one of the reverse osmosis filters from a local water softner company...it removes all the gunk & tastes great!

Our tap water is great here. I swear it tastes better than a lot of the bottled waters. Stewie drinks tap water or generic water and most of the time and I drink Aquafina (LOVE IT!)

We found that if we drink "local water" we get an upset stomach! We don't even drink tap water at home and it comes straight up from a natural spring! If you have ever read environmental reports in your location you would certainly question the purity of the water ... especially if there are chemical plants or nuke plants nearby. We only drink Crystal Geyser water and have been able, so far, to find it every place we have lived. It's bottled from a spring in the Cherokee National Forest/Tennessee. We were really glad to find "our" water here but the other day when we picked it up I noticed that the label had changed a little and what we are finding here now is bottled in the Sierra Nevada's!! It tastes a tad different but it's still spring water! Yep! The Toto only gets it too ... I even take it along for her when we fly! I wish I didn't read environmental impact reports ... sometimes "ignorance is bliss"!!

It's still just a matter of choice and in the overall scheme of things probably doesn't matter a whitt but for us it's taste for the most part!!
