What kind of water do you give your pets??

Our vet told us that my kitty that recently died had some sort of grainy substance in her system. We searched the house and couldn't find anything that would fit the substance that she might have eaten and it was not litter. So we came to the conclusion that it may have been the tap water and chemicals in it that may have ultimately killed her. My mom now gives her cats bottled water. DH gives our cats tap water, which I asked him not to, I give them bottled water, to which he yells at me because it isn't cheap. But having my cat die and another of our cats, Miss Kitty dying a year ago with kidney issues, I don't want to give our babies now tap water. I am going to get a filter for the tap and hope that does the trick.

We give Casey and the cats tap water or water from the fridge filter.

We give our cats water from the water cooler. It's not expensive at all at Sam's Club/Costco etc..

I give my pups filtered water. Since I am super-paranoid, it is filtered through a Pur filter from the tap, then filtered again in a brita pitcher. I hate tap water - it smellsChat Icon

We give all our animals water from the brita- the same water we drink.

My cats and dogs will NOT drink tap water- they must knwo something.

Chewie gets bottled water. The tap water was making him have brown tear stains on his fur around his eyes! Gross.

My parents give their dog bottled water. The previous dog they had, died of a blockage in her urinary tract..so my father decided to only give his dog bottled water.

We have a brita filter on our faucet. Before we put that on they were getting tap water.

Excellent point Red...I am going to tell DH not to give his cat regular tap water. I'm gonna get a Brita container with a filter and start giving her filtered water.

We used to give tap water until we noticed our cats trying to drink our glasses of water even when they had their own. Now we give them cold, Brita-filtered water and they drink it so much more!
