Toxic well water harms dogs before humans, study shows

VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES, AUG 6 – A Virginia Tech study found 64% of dog drinking water from private wells contained toxic heavy metals, posing early health risks to pets before humans show symptoms.

Summary by Phys.org
Dogs drink water wherever they happen to find it—a puddle, a pond, a toilet. But the stuff in their actual water bowls almost always comes from the same tap their owners use. When that water is contaminated, both dogs and humans may suffer.
