All municipal water supply contains chlorine which is a poison. That's why they use it, to kill bacteria! One of the functions of residential water filters is to remove chlorine. They do this by sending the water through pourus activated carbon. The best thing you can do for your pet is to catch rain water for them. You'll see a big difference in the amount of rain water they drink over tap water because they like it.

An unfortunate sign of the times is that the cleanliness of the water we drink is largely based upon the levels of chlorine in it . Up to about 10yrs ago the village I live in had its own group water scheme , always had the best of water up until the village next to us began to experience problems with their drinking water . That's when we got roped in to joining the scheme which would sort out the other peeps water problems because it meant laying pipes in our ground in order to get to the next village and their excuse was 'Our water wasn't fit for human consumption' (despite the fact we'd had it tested several times over) They (authorities) then had the nerve to suggest that the test results were doctored in our favour in order to remain on our own scheme . We've been drinking the equivalent of draught bleach ever since

My water comes from an aquifer 185 feet down,....I have no fear letting my pets drink from the same well that I drink from - although, lately, I begin to wonder if the oil and gas sector where I live is not affecting the natural aquifers.

If they're left at it long enough they'll surely balls it up for generations to come what with Fracking becoming ever 'popular' ............

It is definitely a "problem" where I live where oil and gas rule our economy! Fresh water usage and "downhole" activity are an ongoing debate,...

My mother's dog (for whatever reason) has always refused to drink tap water. He will only drink rainwater....
Do you sometimes think animals are more intelligent than us humans? Perish the thought....

I'm on a shallow well but the ground in this area has a lot of minerals like Iron and who knows what else. It sometimes smells like mold so I don't drink it. Instead I get my son to fill up a 5 gallon bottle for me from his tap. He is on city water.

What is this "rain" you speak of?

Do you drink mineral water I assume?
i've noticed my dog drinking rain water before but the tap water in Ireland is grand in 99% of places.

I leave a plastic tub of water outside near my garden for the neighborhood cats, knowing the chlorine dissipates in about 24 hours. I dump and rinse it regularly to prevent algae and control mosquito larvae.
I think they appreciate it during the hot summer months?
I'm not convinced our cat, "Fraidy Freida" feels the same.
