What kind of WATER do you feed? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

txshopper73 · 01-15-2007, 03:18 PM

I give my babies tap water that has gone through a filter. We humans drink the same.

GracieLou · 01-15-2007, 03:42 PM

i give gracie tap from the sink

I use tap water. We have had our water tested and it is fine -- I do think they go a little overboard on the chlorine sometimes but better that than bacteria, I guess.

Distilled water has all the minerals and trace elements removed. We and our pets need those. If you are going to drink distilled water or give it to pets, then those minerals and trace elements need to be supplemented. We do not usually get enough from food alone. Water provides more than hydration.

BTW this was anohter poll that says I am not allowed to vote -- what is up with that? Anyone know why?

Tap water right now but I am thinking of switching to buying store water........I always say I am going to buy a gallon but I always forget

Bottled water , The water where we are right now is nasty. I don't use it for anything.

We have distilled delivered for our water cooler at home. We give it to our furbaby "Taylor" (10 months) and our parrot."Wrigley" (10 years old).

We have a well, also. But, being in the desert, we still need to drink bottled water summer to late fall, as it gets funky tasting. Our babies drink what we drink.

Morkie4 · 01-17-2007, 11:59 AM

Only purified water!

JCarlson2004 · 01-17-2007, 12:27 PM

Aquafina bottled water.

They get a vitamin/mineral supplement and the minerals are also in their kibbles. Humans probably don't get enough trace minerals, but the furkids are covered

We don't drink the distilled, only the pups.

I don't know why it won't let you vote, that's weird!

Jaden and Jewelina only drink purified distilled bottled water. Jaden is such a brat he'll only drink his if it's really cold, if its tepid water...forget it

I only drink distilled water as well, our water here isn't bad but I've never drank tap my entire life and can't get the idea in my head to do so...

cchu · 01-17-2007, 03:11 PM

I didn't realize how many different kinds of water we can feed our furbaby.

I cahnaged Zoe's water from tap to brita filtered water. I rather be safe!

THANKS ALL!!

Pipersmommy · 01-17-2007, 04:37 PM

Distilled water here for both girls.

baby03 · 01-17-2007, 05:39 PM

Purified and bottled water!!!

I give Izzy Brita Filtered water. It helps with his tearing. He still gets the goop but not as much.
