..but what about dogs and cats? How does water traced with drug residues affect their health? According to veterinarian Dr. Debra Primovic from Columbus, Ohio, "Water containing drugs in the drinking water of pets concerns me. We have no way to know how this will affect their long term health. Until this is further studied, we cannot be sure." What can you do? No one seems sure. Dr. Primovic says, "Until more information is available and research is done, no one will probably be able to give you a final answer". What do we recommend? Filter your water. There is controversy regarding if filtering will eliminate all or any of the drugs but until we know for sure, it isn't going to hurt anything. The purity of bottled water probably varies and its purification is not known. It will be good for both you and your pets.

I have a Britta filter that I have used for years for my pups. It makes me feel at ease.
