Sparkling mineral water for dogs

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 11, 2009 -- Top-of-the-line Bellaqua is a sparkling natural mineral water, presented in handmade crystal bottles encrusted with jewels.

For those pooches that prefer their water without sparkles, there's Pet Pop, a still mineral water in a range of colours, created with natural ingredients. Available in Luscious Lulu, Lemon Lola, Candy Pop and Betty Blu, Pet Pop's zingy colours will make a statement in your dog's water bowl.

According to the Australian Companion Animal Council, in 2005 an estimated 63% of households in Australia owned a pet, with 53% owning a dog or cat. Although numbers are in gradual decline, expenditure on pet care is increasing.

"Pets really are one of the family," says Pets Palace spokeswoman, Diane Costa. "We treat them – and spoil them – as if they were our children. It's just as much fun to put a dog in a cute sweatshirt as it is a child."

The change is visible in our shopping centres. Pet stores are crowded with treats, toys and doggie fashion. Supermarket shelves are lined with premium foods boasting a high nutritional content and a range of ingredients that would tempt a human palate.

"Once upon a time a can of dog food smelled and tasted like, well, chopped liver," says Diane. "Now dogs can dine on 'fresh garden vegetables, slowly cooked with tender lamb chunks in rich gravy'. So why not offer them a decent drink to wash it down with?"

Bellaqua costs AUD42.50 for a box of four, plus delivery, and Pet Pop AUD22.95 for a box of four, plus delivery. Both are available from Pets Palace at www.petspalace.com.au and can be shipped internationally.
