Fortifido Fortified Water for Dogs

OK, before you start laughing at us, keep in mind that a good half-dozen of our co-workers agreed to jump off this particular bridge with us, and happen to agree with our findings as recorded below.

When B-Com first called me with the idea for this post, I laughed. I said to myself, "he's nuts. It'll never happen." Now I know he really is nuts, and I'm apparently not completely in my right mind either. Considering this is my first review of a beverage made for dogs, I'm not as confident in my expert-status. All I can do is tell it like I taste it.

The stuff smells like Gin, which is an interesting if not disturbing fact. It's flavor can only be described as extremely mild and nasty. We tried the parsley flavor (fortified with zinc for healthy skin) and one of our co-workers who is wise in the ways of such things said it really did taste like parsley. Apparently parsley has an extremely mild and nasty taste.

Now, considering the palate this stuff was designed for is slightly less discerning than mine (i.e. licks own butt) maybe it's not so bad for my dog. I don't know. Unfortunately we had no dogs with us at work to provide a more subjective opinion. I am very concerned over the fact that water made to taste like parsley can be purchased in a package that so closely resembles regular bottled water. At $.65 per liter, it may or may not be a rip-off. I guess that depends on how much you currently spend on bottled water for your dog.

Maybe I'm bitter, or maybe I'm just embarrased to be the first person to openly admit to the entire blogosphere that I drank Fortifido, but strictly on principle, I have to call this a world-class

TURD.

I'd like to offer a huge THANK YOU to Gabby for picking up Fortifido. This is a true TorT first!

Once a few years back I bought a bottle of Saratoga spring water. I took a gulp and found myself almost gagging on what tasted for all the world like liquid socks. My initial reaction was "What just went into my body? Am I going to die?" It turned out a small batch of their mineral water had accidentally leaked into the spring water and I was lucky enough to grab part of the bad batch.

The reason this comes to mind now is that the same liquid socks taste and the same "am I going to die" reaction accompanied my first and only swallow of Fortifido. Nothing that tastes like liquid socks can be anything but a

TURD.
