FortiFido: Pointless plastic extravagance


dog
For a while now, bottled water has been both prevalent and controversial -- whether prompting discussions of the differences (or lack thereof) between bottled and tap water, or reminding us of the extreme waste involved with neverending hordes of plastic water bottles.

Of course, that means that this is the perfect time to get flavored bottled water for our dogs -- they won't live long enough to see the impact! Did you know that there is a brand called FortiFido that offers flavored waters to not only hydrate your canine, but also help their bones, breath, joints, and skin?

Now I'm all for a little perk for man's best friend, but must we encourage more waste when it would be so very easy to offer this stuff as powder, soluble tablets, or gel to be put in the water of your choice? Think of Fido's children, and his children's children!
