- Filtered Water for Pets and People: Investing in a certified water filtration system ensures cleaner, safer drinking water for both pets and humans, reducing exposure to harmful contaminants like PFAS and heavy metals while cutting down on single-use plastic waste.
- Eco-Friendly Bath Time: Using water-saving handheld showerheads makes pet baths easier and more efficient, helping conserve water without compromising cleanliness—especially with features like pause modes and targeted spray settings.
- Sustainable Living for Pets: Small changes like using reusable containers and eco-conscious water systems can significantly reduce plastic waste and environmental impact, creating a healthier home for pets and a cleaner planet.
Living with a pet is its own unique joy. They are our loyal friends, eager playmates, and, in recent years, our work-from-home office buddies. Truth be told, our pets probably spend more time at home than we do, so keeping a clean and healthy space is important for your animal friends (and you). But is it possible to have a pet-friendly home that’s also good for the planet?
Healthier water breaks with less waste: filtered water for pets.
All creatures need water to thrive. Investing in a water filtration system can help you provide cleaner, safer water for your entire family—including your furry friends. Not only will your pet have safer water to drink—you'll help the planet when you fill your own cup with filtered water, avoid single use plastic bottled water, and reduce potentially harmful contaminants in tap water.
Cleaner, safer water for Fido.
The same contaminants that we hope to avoid in our own drinking water—like "forever chemicals” (aka PFAS), heavy metals, and more—may not be reduced with a pet water fountain filter alone. Although there’s still more research to be done, studies have found water contaminants like PFAS in pets’ bodily systems, which are linked to adverse health outcomes in animals.
Depending on where you live, you may have different water filtration needs. You can find out what contaminants affect the water in your area with the Environmental Working Group’s Tap Water Database.
Want to make sure you and your furry friends are hydrating at home with cleaner, fresher water? Consider investing in a tap water filtration system certified by the Water Quality Association (WQA)—a global nonprofit association for residential, commercial, and industrial water treatment. Here are two water filtration options that hold WQA Gold Seal certifications.
Coral Three-Stage Under Sink Water Filtration System
- holds WQA certification for reduction of over 75 contaminants, including lead, microplastics, PFAS, and chloramines
- advanced 3-stage filtration, including a sediment filter, pre-carbon filter, and carbon block filter
- sleek, high-quality design that operates without electricity
Capella Reverse Osmosis Under Sink Water Filtration System
- holds WQA certification for reduction of over 86 contaminants found in drinking water, including microplastics, PFAS chemicals, heavy metals, and industrial chemicals
- powerful 3-stage filtration, including an activated carbon filter, reverse osmosis membrane, and carbon block filter
- up to 20x greater efficiency over competitive reverse osmosis filtration systems
Reducing plastic waste.
According to the United Nations, less than 10 percent of plastic ever produced has been recycled. The remainder ends up in waterways and landfills, contributing to an increase of environmental microplastics. By installing a water filtration system and switching to reusable glass, metal, or ceramic containers, one person (or pet) can save an average of 156 plastic bottles every year—and that’s good for the whole planet.
Making bath time the best time: water-saving handheld showerheads for pet care.
Difficult, dramatic, wet, and messy are a few words that can describe bathtime with your pet. Depending on their personality, it can be a challenge to get them to stay still during a soak.
That’s where handheld showerheads come in. Their design makes them quite versatile—use it as a regular overhead shower, or pull it down when it’s time for your pet’s bath. Since you’re able to direct the water’s spray anywhere you need, you can avoid spraying your furry friend in the face and eyes, while being able to rinse those hard-to-reach places. Some handheld showers also have a pause button, which can be used to conserve even more water while lathering up your pup. After a bath, a handheld showerhead also comes in handy when cleaning up the tub to remove any remaining soap or dirt.
Bathtime is obviously vital for your pets (and that nice, new rug of yours), but so is saving water. According to the California Great Basin Bureau of Reclamation, only about 0.5 percent of the water on Earth is considered available fresh water. If you’re wondering how much water bathing uses, it takes about 25 gallons of water to shower 10 minutes with a standard, 2.5 gpm showerhead (gpm stands for gallons per minute).
Switching to our Nebia handshowers can help you save water without needing to cut your pet’s bathtime short. And you'll be in good company since our customers have already saved over 1 billion gallons of water by making the swap.
Nebia Yuba 5-Setting Handshower with HaloNetic Double Docking System
- patented nozzle technology provides 75% more water force
- save up to 40% more water compared to standard 2.5 gpm showerheads
- choose between four, pet-friendly spray modes
- a unique Pause Mode, which allows you to save more water while you’re sudsing up your pup
An integral part of your home.
Your pets are family, and they deserve the very best home you can provide. By promoting a healthier lifestyle, reducing waste, and conserving water, you can create a better environment for yourself, for your furry friends, and for the planet, too—and that feels better already.
