We have tried filtered water (brita faucet filter) and like the
taste. Our dogs drink more water when it is filtered as well.
What about bottled water good bad?

The only bad thing I have heard about "bottled water" is the lack of
fluoride.

It depends on the bottled water you buy. Some are from the faucet! Others
are spring water. Some are purified, others are not. Distilled isn't a
good idea.

I use a Pur filter pitcher for my family (which includes the dogs). I also
cook with filtered water. All of the raw diet books I have read suggest
only filtered water for the dogs. But then, a raw fed dog does not drink
very much water. My dogs (Rhodesian Ridgebacks) have a small dish for water
that holds maybe a quart of water, and I only fill it half way, fresh every
day. In my case, the expense (in filter replacement) is minimal.

filtered is a lot less expensive than bottled, and is just as good. we gave
the dogs distilled water when our power was out, and they didn't seem to
drink any less/more of it than the filtered. the water at my house is so
full of minerals that you can smell it, and the dogs don't drink it unless
we filter it.

funny how they have no problem drinking from mud puddles, though.
