Why Filtration Matters for Animals Too

They’re not just pets.
They’re your family.
Your shadow, your cuddle buddy, your little heartbeat that follows you from room to room.

And like any member of the family, your furry companion deserves the best — especially when it comes to their health. That includes something as simple, and as essential, as clean water.

But is the water in their bowl truly safe?

Unfiltered Water Can Be Harmful — Even for Pets

Most tap water contains trace contaminants:

  • Chlorine and chloramine (used for disinfection)
  • Heavy metals like lead or copper (from old pipes)
  • Microplastics
  • Pesticides and chemical runoff

While these may be within “acceptable” levels for humans, animals are often more sensitive. Their smaller bodies, faster metabolisms, and instinctive habits (like licking their paws or drinking from puddles) mean that exposure adds up quickly.

🧪 A 2022 study found that household pets exposed to chlorinated tap water over time showed increased markers of inflammation and digestive sensitivity.

🐶 They Can't Choose — But You Can

Your dog doesn’t know to avoid the tap.
Your cat won’t question what’s in her bowl.
Your rabbit, your parrot, your ferret — they trust you to keep them safe.

Just like you wouldn’t serve them spoiled food, offering clean, filtered water should be the norm, not the exception.

Health Starts with Hydration

Filtered water helps support:

  • Healthy digestion (especially for animals prone to stomach issues)
  • Shinier coats and better skin
  • Improved kidney and urinary health, especially in cats
  • Fewer allergies and skin irritations

And the best part? It tastes better. Many pets drink more when the water is clean, fresh, and free of chemical odors.
