Can Cats Drink Smartwater Flavored Water?
Not recommended — Smartwater Flavored Water for cats.
Why this verdict
Flavoured waters contain flavourings and often sweeteners. They offer nothing a cat needs, and some flavoured waters are sweetened with xylitol or other sugar substitutes. Plain water is always the right drink for a cat.
If your cat ate smartwater flavored water
A few laps are not an emergency. Check the label for xylitol — if present, call your vet immediately. Offer plain fresh water instead.
