• ive always given my cat tap water, and ive read its not always safe. i was thinking on buying purified water that comes in the gallons. but also read bottled water is good either. what do you recommend?

    Hi Rosalie,

    I recommend that you talk to your local veterinarian about this question. In most places and for most pets tap water is usually fine. However, this can depend on the minerals in your local tap water as well as your pet’s overall medical history. Your vet know your pet and the local water so they will be able to give you the best advice on this.
