i was reading on a field trial beagle website about people using this in their dogs drinking water,said it would help keep them tick and flea free plus it is good for the GI Tract and their kidneys,could even disolve any stones the dog may have and help them to pass them. What is anyone's thought's on this and do you or have you ever tried it? I started giving it to mine b/4 the Spring Nationals and i started again when i came home. i have noticed a reduced urine smell around the kennel.i was also told it would stop algae from growing in the water bowls also,so far with all the hot weather there is none in the bowls.
