It should be noted that such "tolerable" fluoride levels are not acceptable for human patients on kidney dialysis, and cats and dogs with kidney disease are likely to be more prone to fluoride poisoning when impaired renal function means more fluoride retention in the body.Read more at http://feline-nutrition.org/health/fluoride-a-serious-health-risk-for-both-dogs-and-cats Follow us on Twitter: @FelineNutrition
This problem of fluoride contaminating some brands of pet food is compounded by pets being given fluoridated tap water to drink. Providing companion animals with purer water, like reverse-osmosis treated water, is advisable. (Brita-type filters do not remove fluoride). Cooking with fluoridated water simply concentrates fluoride in the food, a point that all pet food manufacturers must consider in addition to the ingredients they use in their manufactured pet foods.
All of our cats drink bottled water. I don't even drink the junk out of the faucet lol
