Is it safe to give my indoor cat tap water or should I use filtered water?

[]

Answer

For most healthy indoor cats, tap water is perfectly safe assuming it's safe for human consumption in your area. Many municipal water supplies are regulated and meet quality standards. However, if your tap water has a high mineral content, is heavily chlorinated, or contains other contaminants, filtered water (like from a Brita filter) or even bottled water might be preferable to encourage drinking and reduce the risk of urinary issues. Ensure the water bowl is clean and refilled daily to encourage hydration. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
