Quality of drinking water

We often talk about the benefits of quality fresh food but water is not usually in the discussion. I have well water and have struggled with the issues that come with that. I have a whole house treatment system and have reverse osmosis for drinking water only. The person I work with sent me an article from Trupanion about pet health and drinking water.

My water is very hard but is taken care of with the treatment system. I do need to address arsenic in the water which is harder to get rid of. Could low levels of arsenic have added to skin issues when I was bathing the dogs often?

Yes, very possibly Debbie.

I'd be even more concerned about their drinking water. Do you use bottled or filtered drinking water?

Also, it's worth the $99 to test the well water for glyphosate. Especially if you have any nearby farms.

One of the joys of homeopathy is that as we build balance and vitality, the body can process some amounts of toxins, unless there is a deep genetic susceptibility.

I avoid all bottled water and think you have done a great job with the whole house treatment system.

As long as you see health improvements in humans and animals, I would not worry too much. If improvements are stalled, then is time to try some changes.
