We often focus on food and supplements for our pets—but what about their water? In this episode of Your Natural Dog, Angela Ardolino is joined by holistic pet health coach & educator Bre Drake to dive into an overlooked but essential part of your pet’s wellness: water quality. From filtering contaminants to remineralizing filtered water, Bre and Angela share what pet parents need to know to keep their dogs truly hydrated and healthy. They explore why bottled water isn’t a safe solution, what’s lurking in tap water, and how small changes to your dog’s hydration can make a big difference. Along the way, they discuss how toxin exposure from water—as well as everyday sources including synthetic additives in food, supplements, and grooming products, along with environmental chemicals—can accumulate in pets over time, and share practical tips for supporting your pet naturally.
