   My last signifigant other was a vetrinarian and she was pretty big on giving   
   our animals distilled water.  She said that the floride and chlorine in out tap   
   water is ok for humans but because of their smaller bodies it is a much higher   
   concentration for them.   
      
   She also said that our animals are more likely to get sick from second hand   
   smoke, medications and etc because of the same reason they are smaller and it's   
   harder on them because thier systems are so much smaller than ours.   
      
   I keep distilled for my kitties though and I haven't had problems with annie   
   since.  I don't feed her that hellatiously expensive urinary diet and she   
   hasn't had a problem since.  I also bought a pet-flow fountain and the moving   
   water attracts them and the pets drink more.
