Good morning... I have a two month camping trip planned for May & June this year to the Pacfic coast... I have a 3 year old Puggle and my question concerns water for my dog... I know that I myself have problems drinking water in some states and I would like to prevent the same problems with my pet...I have a pickup camper and would appreciate any tips you may have.

Hello Clarke,

Thank you for a great question. You are so very wise to pre-plan for your Puggle, and yourself as well.  My recommendation would be bottled spring water. Bottled spring water is very similar even though the actual manufacturers may vary. Definitely pure spring water, not mineral enhanced or flavored. Prior to your trip, introduce the water to your dog’s regular diet so to speak. Start adding the water to what’s provided daily, carry it with to offer small quantities on long walks - I’m sure you get the idea.

While this may be a slight expense, you avoid having to guess what type of water may or may not agree with your pet.  It’s readily available and you’ll be able to purchase in amounts to last for a few days or several days. Varying amounts fit in with cooler or fridge space as well. 

Please enjoy a wonderful vacation!
