Did you know that 884 million people worldwide live without access to clean water? That’s about three times the population of the United States! Thankfully, organizations and initiatives like Oceana, No Water – No Life, and, World Water Day are trying to preserve the Earth’s water sources and work towards achieving a goal of sustainable, clean water for everyone (humans and animals like!) on the planet.
In honor of the upcoming World Water Day, which occurs every year on March 22, we’re bringing you the top five safe-n-chic bowls in which to serve your dog some of the precious wet stuff. Remember: when you’re shopping for a water bowl for your pet, always look for BPA, lead, and phthalate-free products; stainless steel tends to be the safest bet, but ceramics, glass, and eco-friendly plastics are all responsible options, if you do your research first.
