Bottled water for dogs

Bottled water for dogs. For the malnourished or dehydrated pooch. I might be mistaken, but isn't this in Revelations as one of the portents of the apocalypse?

No, I think that's the jewel-encrusted cell phone cases. God bless the people who have more money than they know what to do with, and bless the people who give them ideas, too.

Our water can be enjoyed in four of the flavors dogs enjoy most: chicken, beef, liver and lamb. Try all four tasty flavors today and your dog will rave that it is Rebarkably Refreshing!™ My dog wants mailman flavored water and it'll be even better if it smells like our neighbor's dog's butt.

I can't believe that they are trying to sell this for about $2 a bottle. And there's nothing special about the way the bottle is designed or anything to make it easier for a dog to drink from. If they had come up with a unique way to give you dog water without it all spilling on the ground as you try to pour it into his/her mouth (say while out on a run), then there might be something to this. Though, i'd just buy one bottle and reuse it.

I'm going to swap out all the bottled water in my office with liver-flavored ones, and just really enjoy the hell out of one afternoon.

I'd actually like to try the beef flavored water, it sounds so completely absurd I'm enamored. What if it's awesome?

Ah, Dasani, discontinued in the UK because it was packaged in carcinogenic bottles.

Chicken Flavored Toilet Water is one phrase I hope to never hear again.

When will the bottled water industry realize that they can't compete with free? Oh wait, that's the RIAA... MjM

Wait wait wait... it comes in lamb flavour? I'd give it a try if it actually tasted like what it's advertised to (to humans, I guess, although it's probably useless to discuss how it tastes to a dog).

Ah, Dasani, discontinued in the UK because it was packaged in carcinogenic bottles. Er, according to your own link, it was because of bromide coming from low-quality calcium -- but the decision to discontinue was only part that, and part the marketing problem of everyone knowing it was tap water.

K9 Water Co claims that they're the first company to offer "vitamin fortified bottled water specifically formulated to provide your dog with essential vitamins that contribute to overall good health and provide the hydration your dog needs" blah blah blah and maybe if they snooped around a little more they might have had the option to second-guess their idea.

So how exactly do you connect this stuff up to your toilet cistern?

And there's nothing special about the way the bottle is designed or anything to make it easier for a dog to drink from. I felt stupid for buying those bottles of plain water from the pet store with a cup attached to the bottom for the pooch to drink out of - thank you k9 water company, for making me feel slightly less idiotic. Only slightly.

Is that some sort of barkkake action happening in the top right hand?

I read about this water in the Taguba report. And I don't want to ever see the word "barkkake" again--but it does indeed appear that is what's happening.

heh heh 'barkkake' I'll mention that to my k-9 group. ...umm....I'm uh...joking... yeah. Heh. I saw some of this water in a pet store and bought one immediately. Emptied it out, washed it, filled it with tap water and took it to the gym. Got some looks and good laughs out of it. (All kinds of ass too. Chicks really dig guys who are into 4 legs....um...I'm kidding...again). So I go back into the pet store a few months later looking for the 'beef' flavored water and ask the stockboy where it is and he looks at me like I'm a yuppie asshole and says they don't carry it anymore. So I say I don't have a dog and he goes "Oh, sick." Now I don't know what the hell he was thinking, but I wanted it just to joke around again with people 'cause the label had ripped off my other bottle. Kids today, no sense of irony.

Damn, I'm getting this stuff for the next marathon. Forget gatorade, can you imagine what a boost I'd get from liver water?
