A method of hydrating an animal when traveling includes steps of: (a) traveling from a first location where the animal is accustomed to the taste and/or odor of water at the first location to a second location where water at the second location has a taste and/or odor different from the water at the first location (b) flowing the water at the second location through a water filter to provide second location filtered water and (c) making the second location filtered water available to the animal at the second location.
