Bottled water? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

The water in my town is a bit questionable so Ive been boiling the water before giving it to the dogs. BUT Chloe my shih tzu is still getting beard staining from the water. Ive heard bottle water is better but does anyone know what kind to give?

is the staining from the water itself or from her saliva? tears and saliva is usually what makes the beard and eyes redish brown. some say that changing water does help, but i personally haven't found this to be true. I think people use distilled water instead of bottled water to eliminate the stainage, but it doesn't work for my dog. plus some experts say to not use distilled water so

everything is questionable LOL i'm no help

It's distilled water...not simply bottled water. Any brand of distilled will do.
