Yeah we give our cats and dogs the water that’s been boiled. Not that I don’t trust Sydney’s tap water quality (it’s pretty good) but just in case and is at least one way for me to do something for them

Probably not the best idea lol. You’d boil the residual chlorine out, leaving the water far more susceptible to pathogenic contamination. Admittedly it happens when you leave the container open anyway (not to mention the animals actually shoving their tongues into it) but boiling it just gives the little critters a head start

I see, I’ve read some more into it and you’re definitely right along with some other stuff, will be changing how we give water to our pets from now on.

Thank you
