i was wondering if you gave your chi's tap water or mineral water ?
i want to give them mineral water ...or is this over the top ??
do they benefit from it ?

Very caring chi mum! But i don't really know how necessary it is. If you're worried about stuff in tap water you could always filter it. Ruby has filtered water most of the time because we always have it on hand for ourselves.

SPRING only!!!!!!! Filtered if I have no choice but I usually make sure they have a choice. :wave:

 

[xx-nathalie-xx]

ok

spring or mineral water it is then :wink:
i have no filter ....so i have to give water from the bottle (my bf 's a water drinker...so i have it available all the time :twisted: )

i think we have spa mineral water ........is that much difference with spring water ?

i'm not sure of the difference... chiwi gets filtered water at home and i bring spring water with us when we are out. i encountered a close minded person once when i was giving chiwi her water and she was like "bottled water? it's a dog" and she rolled her eyes. so i went with it, i said oh you have to be kidding, nothing but evian for my baby. and i said it with a snooty type attitude....

might want to watch with minerals. I know that you can build up too many. Not sure though technicallly what is in it! :?

Puppet that was perfect!!

 

[fizzy n kirbys mum]

My lad drinks filtered water ( I do as well )

 

[NoahFL]

Filtered water here. I have a Brita filter and it works great.

 

[SunnyFLMum]

Gizmo drinks bottled water, whatever brand we buy, I don't trust tap since I lived in Germany growing up, I got used to drinking bottled..both of my pups drink it...I think this week it's zephyrhills...hehehe

Evian...lol... :wave:

 

[Seren]

Looks like im the only one here that drinks tap water :lol:

 

[TuckersMom]

We all drink Brita filtered water here, pets as well as we humans. I also keep single-sized bottles of water on hand to take along when I'm out running errands.

 

[Seiah Bobo]

Hehe...Seiah drinks Aquafina or Sparkletts. Seiah always has a bottle of water around, one in Ash's car...one next to his pen...and one at work. It's sad really, if we run out of water we drink tap, but not Seiah...oh no Seiah always has bottled water around :roll: ...LOL.

 

[Gadget's Mom]

IT's filtered or bottle water here... specially this time of year since we get our water from the river...

 

[Seren]

Ive heard that drinking lots of mineral water can cause kidney stones in people when the minerals build up. Duno if it affects animals the same way :?

 

[Seren]

Glad im not the only one...i was starting to get a complex! :lol: :wink:

 

[Seren]

I think tap is just as good anyway

 

[TuckersMom]

A lot of tap water is perfectly safe for human consumption. Our water company gives us a list of what our water contains and what percentage. We have arsenic and many other things in our tap water that the EPA says is safe in small amouts. My concern is the size of our Chis. What is safe for a 150 pound human may not be safe in such small pets. I'm no chemist, so this is just my opinion.

 

[chimom]

Glad im not the only one...i was starting to get a complex! :lol: :wink:

Tap water here, too. Looks like we are in the minority though! :lol:

 

[Seren]

Gosh arsenic in the water I dont blame you for not drinking it!
Yes where definately in the minority Jasmins mum :lol:

 

[KJsChihuahuas]
