Bannyeoaesu (Animal Water), a drinking water brand for pets, was launched on Monday, and will be released at major pet shops, veterinary clinics and online shopping malls in May.

Animal Water is made with dissolved drinking water that is then enriched with minerals. Therefore, the water is “softer, more absorbable and nutritious,” the producer Paramishop said.

According to the company’s examination of 200 dogs owned by active Internet users, the water reduced the odor of excrement and bad breath significantly. It also improved the dogs’ skin condition, the company added.
