>> Hogs don't need flouride for strong healthy teeth LOL and of course the biology of marine animals and land animals is completely different but at the cellular level most of us are still made of the same basic stuff.

Why would not Hoggies, that have teeth, not benefit from strengthing of said teeth? Would not stronger teeth contribute to less mouth rot and teeth coming out due to the teeth being pulled in yanks from fearful owners? Not to mention their soft diets.

No. It's not natural for Hoggies to get flouride, but if they do I see that as good, not bad. The amount of flouride in water is not going to hurt them - it's negligble.

Tap water has to be way safer - germ, parasite, bactiria-wise - than river or lake water. That has polluntants like pesticides, fertilizer, pig/cow/etc. poo, etc., the little guys find in the wild.
