Meat-flavored bottled water on offer to "bored" Aussie dogs

SYDNEY, (AFP) - An Australian inventor who thinks dogs "deserve variety" just like anyone else began marketing meat and vegetable flavored bottled water to canine connoisseurs.

Dog Plus K-9 Water went on sale across Australia in flavors ranging from bacon and beef to liver, chicken and corn.

Inventor Andrew Larkey hopes to release other doggie flavors like roasted chicken and even a line of water for cats early next year.

"It's like a sports drink for dogs. Dogs get bored with plain water -- they deserve variety just as much as people," Larkey told the Australian Associated Press.

"I've actually developed a bit of a taste for it myself, but I think most people's first reaction is to be a little suspicious of it," he said.

Might just as well.

"Bait" the water with a little broth or kibble, helps keep doggies hydrated.
