LAWSONVILLE, N.C., March 11 (UPI) -- A North Carolina couple have joined the growing industry of providing bottled water for finicky pets.

People have developed a big thirst in recent years for bottled water, many because they don't like tap water. So it seems their pets are no different and entrepreneurs like Bill and Rhonda Fels are jumping in to serve the creatures.

The Felses, who market PetFresh products nationwide from a former tobacco farm in Lawsonville, N.C., stumbled onto the business while trying to get Jason, their 3-year-old spaniel-retriever, to drink enough water.

They were delighted when Jason finally found water he liked from a glacier-fed river Fels crossed during a hike. Fels made regular trips to bring back more river water for Jason.

When neighbors started mooching his pooch's supply for their own problem drinkers, Fels knew he had something, the Wall Street Journal said.

The Felses also sell PetRefresh for cats, birds and hamsters.
