Water for the dogs is the only reason we have a water purifier.
craze
I now have to start doing this since I am the dog dad.
Larirari
My cat gets purified water cooler water. I won't drink my tap water, why should she?
Nood1e
My dad recently sauteed a nice tilapia fillet for his dog... then I watched him deglaze the pan with some white wine and make a nice sauce.
taleswapper633
I dont trust the water in my area. I legit give mine bottled water. Until I install a tap filter....
CorgisButtsDriveMeNuts
purifier feature?
Orc6000
My cat will only drink from the toilet. I actually fill his bowl from the fridge filtered water... and he PREFERS the toilet!
Thesimpleman
I don't even use the fridges water thing
ChubbyPikablue
My cats get bottled water. Just a generic brand though; we're not rich.
TokyoTengu
My wife puts out expensive bottled water for the cats. Edgar shows his appreciation by drinking from the toilet or the bathtub. Weird cat.

Groovechild
I did that for my dogs. Question is, why the fuck does it not occur to her to do that for her dog? She has no soul.
nomoto04
I have one of those reverse osmosis water purifiers, your damn skippy my dogs get that water too. They still drink from the toilet though...
slynnchef
Mine would too but she is a Corgi.
roscuro
Tap water is fucking nasty. I wouldn't give it to my worst enemies. Mostly because it would probably go against the Geneva convention.
allmostthere1234
Nooo. In my county they put plenty of chlorine and fluoride in there. Just to be safe!You don't even have to brush your teeth. If u have any
squiffy69
I use only filtered water for my cats.
NPaine
Bs. She will eat his face if she had to.
Magus25
My dog deserves the best! If it was healthy she would drink champagne.
Sugarcrotch
does she also where a smokin jacket and lounge around with half naked babes?
That would be a dope ass dog. Hugh Hefner reincarnate.
ween8717
I use a zero water pitcher for my dog and myself because our filtered well water isn't really drinkable. He is a good boy and deserves it.
repurposedschleem
Take them outside though and they go straight for the dirtiest puddle to drink from
GodLikeButHumble
Yeah, my f'in cat won't drink from her bowl 'cause there's a hair floating in it. Then goes outside and drinks from the gross rubber doormat
meta666
... and you stop them from doing that because it’s bad for them
TheRicM
I washed my face once using the purified filter on our sink, Dad got mad and was like, "Hey, that stuff is expensive!
bridogz
I do this for my boys. Call it daddy water. One loves cubes the other not so much. Eventually. They’re both happy.
3blindmicestolemycar
If you don't treat your dog as if it is your little cannibal brother then you need to get a cat.
MadHakon
Well your brother decided you had too many siblings anyways. He's just helping you get a larger inheritance... If you make it.
Rwhejek
What do you mean? I treat my cat better than I would my brother!
kanuckles
My cat gets filtered water. I live in a small town in Tx and the tap water is shit and smells like chemicals
oneringrorulethemall
Don’t be ridiculous! I treat my dog waaaaaayyy better than my brother!
fireeternal
My cat just raised her middle finger to you.

I have six cats currently. Five kittens. My dog is waaayyyy easier to handle.
PetricusGaming
We filter the water for our cats
CthulhusGreasyBallsack
Cat's kidneys are so efficient they can drink seawater to rehydrate.
Our cat can only have filtered water or he gets blocked up and will need another operation
Chkari
They work very hard though and kidney function is one of the major issues in elderly cats.
Do you have one of those water filter fountains for cats?
wanderingsibyl
One of those really helped one of my cats lose weight.
Fuckweasel
Yes. She now drinks a lot more water than she used to. Hydrated kitty is a happy kitty.
Yes
Those are sweet. Thinking of getting one. He prefers the sink at the moment..
bbecks
I do as well. One of mine would refuse to drink from a still bowl unless it had JUST been filled and I worried so I got a fountain. The 1/2
downside is my other one uses it as a shower/bath so I have to clean it way more frequently than called for. But oh well. Worth it. 2/2
Zadist
I thought everyone did this?
EvilEkips
I've never even met anyone who has a "water purifier", what's the point even?
Rodvitner
I couldnt figure this out until i remembered clean tap water isnt the norm...
NotaCPA
I do this for my wife's cat....she says the cat is fine with toilet water. I was not. I was disgusted with her.
trapperjohnmd
Seriously who wouldn’t do that??
homoerection
I do not drink from the tap so neither does the pupper. She also gets home made human grade food. Spoilt as fuck.
MYOBNoZ
Exactly! Why give my dog water that I wouldn't drink?
DeathBy1000PaperCuts
I drink tap water
MightyMile
I’d be there all day. Our big dogs go through SO much water.
HappyCakeDay
Samantha obviously
CarlottaVonSprockett
Me. They get tap water. Tbh we don’t have any other kind though.
PosthumousExile

LoligoTX
We fill our cat's water dish from the Brita pitcher in the fridge. Why wouldn't we?
zimirken
I never had a water dish that wasn't immediately gross. So I just have the tub on trickle. They drink alot more water that way and fresh
SpidersMcGee
We only use the Britta pitcher for the dog. We drink tap water.
ThatUsernameHasAlreadyBeenChosenAndlsNoLongerAvailable
hahaha same
therealsarahconnor
Habit mostly - it's easier to pour into his bowl from a pitcher, it's easier to fill a glass at the sink.
BlueLanternBraxx
Same bro. Brita pitcher.
KeyLimeAnxiety
Same, ever since we got it she drinks 10x more water, I’m not sure how she lived this long before
meteorcow
Yeah! I've never understood the whole "it's just an animal, let them eat trash" thing
iAmLordBeer
Same.
MatrimFuckingCauthon
Our friends used to use tap water but their cat’s urethra got clogged twice. Now we warn everyone we know to use filtered water.
Happened to our cat too, so we warn everyone and our dog only drinks filtered water
Their kidneys like the filters too
Duskz
Aside from water source having little to do with uti in cats, they're just prone to having it is from anything. Hell, a lack of water can
More easily result in a uti than anything.
limerind
i fill my dog's water from the toilet. because i understand what he's all about.
And he'd do the same for you
Zreen
I refill it with my saliva and some of my brain fluid
MoreAshyThanLarry
^this guy gets it
loonuhtick
Weird thought.. if you did this, and your dog licked your face, could you get pink eye?!
mamboskii
Dogs have fecal mater and harmful bacteria in their mouth. When they lick your face, you can get much worse than pink eye
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2018-08-dog-saliva-bacterial-infection-amputations.html
Never knew some cats liked to drink from the toilet until I got mine. Thankfully its only one of them but my bathroom is still closed 24/7.
My cat used to drink out of the toilet until I got her a fountain.
They have a fountain. I actually had to try multiple ones to find one he liked (the female isn't an issue) but he still wants toilet water.
It definitely helped to get a fountain he likes and drinks out of regularly but it didn't stop the behavior completely.
theforceiswith
Or, you know, and hear me out, you could close the lid to the toilet.
Animals can open a toilet lid. And the lid slamming 20 times in a row while he fights to do it isn't much of an improvement.

My dad got a toilet-shaped coffee mug for Christmas one year, and stopped using it when he realized what it looked like with coffee+cream 1/
in it. Afterwords it served as our dog's water bowl.
buddbilly
I put in ice cubes on hot days
slabaReactionSmuggler
No use more. Dog die maybe.
Brutsarge
Same. I load up with ice cube (a lot) to keep the water chilled
rudejohn
We did that with my Golden Retriever and after a while she wouldn't drink water without ice.

That’s how my cat is. She’ll just sit by her water until I put a cube in :)

I have this cool thing called an air conditioner.
darynu
use crushed ice, itll be safer i imagine
Cooper862
Yea it can cause their body to go into shock if they were really hot and cause heir stomach to flip. Not a good idea
MostLikelyNotWearingPants
Yes, their stomach can actually "twist" if given ice water when theyre heated. The term used is "bloat", feel free to google.
WarTortilla
No it can’t. This is an Internet myth with no merit behind it and was debunked years ago. It’s simply just not true.
JustTakeItAtFaceValue
My dog won't drink if there's ice in it
PolarbearsToenails
My dog ate the ice cubes, splashing water everywhere trying to get the ice cubes, then threw up the ice cubes
mikekearn
I gave my cat an ice cube once and she avoided me the rest of the day. But she'll drink out of an unattended cup with them no problem. Cats!
InspiredUser
also if it's really really cold they can hurt and flip their stomach
Dumbstatz
Thats actually been disproven
MissMonkey
I heard that the dogs body can go into shock if they're overheating and suddenly drink something super cold? Idk tho Google it
No it’s absolutely not true. It’s one of those dumb internet myths/hoaxes.

I've heard that can be dangerous if they eat it but that's just something I've heard, not something I can back up
ISayShenanigans
It's not if you put the cubes in, then take them for a walk. Give the ice time to melt.
It’s bullshit. Look it up.
frostycry
False. Inner body temperature will melt the ice in two seconds. No one can choke on ice cubes
JodyHighroller
who told you that? tons of people and animals have choked on ice cubes... it doesn't melt in "two seconds". go put one in your mouth and try
kevlarburrito
False, it depends on the size of the ice piece. It takes 20-40 seconds to become uncon due to choking.You can also drown from inhaling h2o

While drinking she sucked one up and choked, but they give her ice to just chew on too.
