Do you give your pets tap water? Have your pets developed cancer, tumors, uti, kidney damage or other health conditions?

It seems pets these days are constamtly growing tumora and cancer and people seems to forget animal lifecycle is faster hence the reason drugs are tested on them, yet people dont seem to make the tap water connection.

Edit: i probably should have worded this "how healthy are your pets, and what kind of water do they drink?"

Tap water in my area is good to go for animals or people. Perk of living in a white run area.

Oh, I'll poop in a bush, no problem. It's the clean drinking water that will be missed.

How much fluoride does your water have. I refuse to drink city water

You sure? There are a lot of industrial and agricultural chemicals that aren't even tested by water utilities. Rural areas usually have poorer water quality, ironically.

90+ year old grand parents are living on it. If it is good enough for them to live on it is good enough for me.

I filter anyway. A good NSF/ANSI 53 & 401 filter will be all you need. Verify by checking the NSF site to avoid Chinese counterfeits.

It's cheap and the worst possible scenario is that I wasted my money. The worst possible scenario if I don't filter is that I wasted my life, and those of my children.

My cats favorite places to drink are the toilet and the ditch

I had a big metal water barrel thing. Had lily bads and mud at the bottom. My roommate put a gold fish in it... the gold fish was the toughest animal I have ever seen. It survived fucking everything... frozen almost solid still lived.. dowm to almost nonwater just mud still lived. I never fed the thing. Roommate moved I never did anything for it and it lived..

Anyways my dog would get fresh water and changed it regularly... fucking dog drank out of that nasty ass metal rusty mud water thing all the fucking time no matter how fresh the water I put out was.

Dogs like "flavored" water. My dog prefers mud puddles and the toilet to the pristine stainless steel fountain I bought her

Have you ever tried to shove your cats into the toilet. Try jamming them down the drain make them pipe cats

Good call.

All my pets drink the same water I do, RO filtered

Take the next step and deionize the water also.

Bottled drinking water is a scam. Most tap water is cleaner than water that sits in a plastic bottle for weeks or months, leeching chemicals from the plastic. The way bottled water has taken over is a tribute to the brainwashing skills of advertisers, who put fear into everyone's heart about drinking water from the tap. People are so easily led these days, and they can be led to do absurd things.

Myself and my dog drink berkey filtered tap water, straight tap smells like a pubkic swimming pool it has so much chlorine and tap water does not filter out everything.

If chlorine is all you need filtered you can remove chlorine far more inexpensively by adding two drops of hydrogen peroxide to a gallon of tap water. The peroxide reacts with the chlorine to form oxygen and salt. The amount of salt generated is far too little to taste (about the equivalent of a teaspoon of salt in 1,500 gallons of water).

Good tip, I like knowing im removing any trace amounts of pharmaceuticals and whatever else they dont filter at the municipal level is being removed with my berkey. After all, tap water is a business/monopoly and theyre only going to do the minimun required at best.

The only time I drink bottled water is when my water has a boil advisory.

Bottled water is a scam, but properly filtered water is not. Tap water often is contaminated with industrial and agricultural chemicals. When they say it's "safe" they mean the chemicals test lower than the allowable amount according to the EPA, or that the chemicals in the water aren't recognized as harmful. Get yourself a good reverse osmosis unit and keep up on the carbon filters and you won't be drinking any of those chemicals.

I see you read the post and not just the headline, thanks. Everyone else seems to be missing the point.

People with small birds have to also be careful.

It comes down to water quality. If you can do ro filtered water is probably better to remove toxins or heavier metals that is not as easy for liver/kidneys to remove.

We have a mountain spring fed well completely untreated except a filter system so everyone drinks it.

My cats get filtered berkey water

It’s likely the kibble that’s giving them cancer brosef

They don't want it even if you do. EC on tap water is about 400, on drain water and the stuff in a plant pot outside about 40. Yes 40. Why do you think your cat drinks from these questionable sources?

I’m on a well in a heavily limestoned area. I used a test kit for water hardness and it was off the top of the chart. So my wife and I, and the dogs all drink triple filtered water. I don’t want anyone to get a kidney stone.

In almost all parts of the US, city tap water is fine for pets.

Is it though? Why do so many pets get cancer and tumors?

Its not just chlorine anymore, they can use Chloramine which is a compound of chlorine and ammonia. Plus theres flouride which is probably causing arthritus in pets. As a kid i dont remember anyones pets having these issues.

Most pet food comes from China. We spend 800 bucks a month on a raw meat diet for our 4 dogs. A lot of dog food is shit. If you’re worried about pet health, you have to consider the food too.
