Hazards of tap water for pets

One question that normally comes in the mind that is, "Is the tap water safe for drinking?" if people are doubtful about the quality of their drinking water then they would not find an appropriate answer to this question. However, speaking about tap water around 80 percent of Americans prefer to drink bottled water than tap water. They usually spend more on buying bottled water to drink but many times still offer tap water to their pets. Does this mean that they are just concerned about their own health and not about their pets? This is actually a serious problem and every pet owner has to take into consideration health concerns about their pets in the same way they take their own.

People should know that carcinogens and toxins may be present in the water they drink. There are many ways in which drinking tap water can be effected such as trace amounts of chlorine, fluoride, lead, radon & arsenic, perchlorate or rocket fuel and bacteria & parasites.

- Chlorine is being added to the drinking water as a pathogen deterrent and bacteria retardant. Chlorine is a chemical which in fact reacts with healthy nutrients to cause cancer in the human body. - Fluoride is being added to the drinking water in order to prevent cavities and strengthen tooth enamel. However, recent studies have suggested that fluoride can harmfully affect organs and also be carcinogenic. - Radon & Arsenic are those contaminants which enter the water in numerous ways which include running water from the fields, by the use of herbicides and pesticides and also by industrial pollution. - Lead is being used to prevent leakage from fixtures and pipes and this is being used for over 100 years by many people. - Perchlorate or Rocket Fuel is not an innovative caffeine enhanced soft drinks but it is considered as one of the most dangerous chemical that causes thyroid cancer and several other physical problems. - Parasites and Bacteria normally enter via the ground water supply especially in cases where there is more wastage of water, potholes filled with water or animal waste.

Noticeably, if the drinking water in the house in not safe for human consumption then it will also be inappropriate for pets. Most of the similar diseases and illness caused to humans by toxic taps can also apply to the pets as well. So, in order to avoid these problems one should make use of bottled water which may be cleaner than unregulated tap water. Quite often people buy bottle water from super markets which is in fact tap water and not the spring water or mineral water. so, make sure that the water is coming from the trustworthy source and try to identify the difference between different types of water such as spring water, mineral water or distilled water.
