Just as humans need to filter heavy metals, fluoride, bacteria and viruses from house tap water, healthy pure water for pets is important. If you don’t like the taste and feel of your tap water, shouldn’t you give the same consideration for your pets? If you use bottled water (though not the best option) it would save you money to filter water for both you and your pets. However, health experts believe some bottled water brands are not be safe for pets because essential minerals are not present in the bottled water. But a good water filter or purifier can provide safe and pure water for pets in your home; these filters will preserve the essential minerals in your water. So, it would be cost-effective have the same source of safe drinking water for your home and pets.

So, if you drink bottled water while your cat, dog or other house pets drink unsafe tap water from a less hygienic bowl, shouldn’t you consider pure water for pets also? Why should your favorite pets drink less than ideal quality water? Plus, clean, fresh-tasting, odor-free filtered water will entice your pets to drink sufficient water for proper hydration.

In a nutshell, the reasons in support of pure water for pets are:

Most house and pet water filters can remove chlorine so your house animals (cats, dogs) and fishes can live healthy. Chlorine is good for disinfection but not good for pets.

Pets are also vulnerable to cancer or other disease causing chemicals just like the humans. Filtered or purified water will remove any potentially deadly organism or metal from the tap water.

Filtration systems can remove sediment, taste and odor so your pets can drink purer and better-tasting water. Plus, better tasting will encourage your pets to drink more water for proper hydration. Without proper hydration, your pet’s urine may become concentrated which could lead to urinary and internal health problems.

Plus, if your public water is fluoridated, a study that show the fluoride “can accumulate in animals’ brains and exposure can alter mental behavior much like known neurotoxins.”

Although there are several pet water filters on the market, but to save you money, it would be better to install a system that can get rid of all the tap water contamination concerns at once. Multipure Aquacomplete AquaRO is one complete system that has been independently tested and certified by NSF under NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53 and 58. The reverse osmosis can get rid of metals, fluoride, chlorine, chromium 6, arsenic, and pesticides, and a whole list of cancer-causing chemicals. You can also buy a stainless steel bowl for complete pure water for your pets.

No need to keep buying bottled water and a separate water filter for your pets.
