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.Episode Recap:<ul><li>The shocking number of contaminants in U.S. water systems (01:14)</li><li>The importance of filtering your home’s water (4:30)</li><li>Reverse osmosis water filtration, (and why remineralizing is key) (05:09)</li><li>Hidden risks in “clean” city water and how to avoid them (08:25)</li><li>Why hydration from food is more natural and effective (11:42)</li><li>The link between cumulative toxin exposure and rising cancer rates in pets (14:11)</li><li> Ditching plastic water bottles, bowls and containers for your pet’s health (19:15)</li><li>How to safely let your dog drink from streams and natural water sources (22:38)</li><li>Tips for responding to toxin exposure in pets (25:30)</li></ul>Episode Resources:<ul><li>Download Angela’s Tips on Water Filtration & Remineralization and other resources at <a href="http://angelaardolino.com/podcast-downloads">AngelaArdolino.com/podcast-downloads</a></li><li>Learn more about Bre Drake & <a href="https://www.tailswell.com/">Tailswell Health</a> </li><li>Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bredrake/?hl=en">Bre Drake</a> & Tailswell Health on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tailswellhealth/?hl=en">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TailswellHealth/videos">YouTube</a>, </li><li>Have a question about your pet that you want answered on the podcast?
