What are the health benefits of filtered water for pets?
Providing purified water to pets can have a significant impact on their overall health and well-being. A high-quality water purifier, such as our The Source system with reverse osmosis technology, removes harmful substances that can be present in regular tap water.
💡 Core Benefit: Water purifiers remove up to 99% of unwanted substances, including chlorine, heavy metals, pesticides and bacteria that can be harmful to pets.
One of the most important benefits is supporting healthy kidney function . Pets, especially cats, are naturally prone to kidney disease. Pure, contaminant-free water reduces the burden on the kidneys, which can contribute to a longer and healthier lifespan.
Specific benefits per animal species:
- Dogs: Benefit from fewer chemicals that can affect their sensitive sense of smell
- Cats: Are picky drinkers and often drink more of pure water
- Rodents: Benefit from water without heavy metals that can accumulate more quickly in small animals
What is the difference between tap water and purified water for pets?
Tap water in the Netherlands is generally of good quality, but still contains substances that are not ideal for pets. Research shows that 62% of people recognize that keeping tap water sufficiently clean is becoming an increasing challenge.
Contaminants in tap water:
- Chlorine: Added as a disinfectant, but can affect the taste and disrupt intestinal flora
- Heavy metals: Such as lead and copper from old pipes, which can accumulate in the body
- Pesticides and hormone residues: Which can end up in drinking water via groundwater
- Bacteria and microorganisms: Which sometimes pass through regular purification
