Do you wash their bowls daily? I experimented a lot and settled on stainless steel food and water bowls. I heard they are easiest to clean and most hygienic. The only problem is I don't clean them every day. Am I the only one who lets their food and water bowls go longer than I should between feedings? |
bowls I also use the stainless steel bowls be cause I have read plastics hold bacteria. I clean the every 2-4 days also just depends on what they are eating if soft food I rinse afterwards. and if hard food I'll wait a couple of days. I run them in the dish washer. |
My answer really applies to only the water dishes. I run them through the dishwasher each time I run it (every 2-4 days). Since they eat freeze-dried raw, I use small paper plates and they get thrown away after eating. |
i have to wash it after every meal since they are on a raw diet. And I also do the same thing even if they eat kibbles. I wash their water bowl once a day. i don't use plastic bowls either. i use the lead free porcelin ones. |
I also use stainless steel bowls. I handwash their food bowls after each meal and the water bowl once a day - and then run them all through the dishwasher once a week. |
They get a fresh food bowl every day, and if they get wet food its changed after every meal. |
I also use stainless steel but I really like ceramic better. I wash Buddy's dish after each meal with hot soapy water and replace it in his holder for the next feeding. Fresh water also with each feeding. |
I use ceramic for food and water. The water bowl gets washed when I refill it. The food bowls are washed after each meal cause mine eat raw, too. Oh, I also have a stainless water bowl in the other room... same thing with that one.:) |
I use stainless steel dishes and wash them after every meal, since they are on NV Raw. When I fed them kibbles, I washed their bowls once a day. |
The stainless steel bowls I use for kibble, I wash once each day... the ceramic used for their wet mix, I wash after every feeding. |
I just feed dry and his water out of stainless steel! I wash it out every other day! I give fresh water twice a day- rinse it out everytime! If I give him chicken or something- it is out of another bowl- and it is put in the dishwasher after using! The water thing is a have to, because he drinks a lot- and if it gets to low- he sits and barks at the bowl- and if you don't get there fast- he dumps what is left! And he gets filtered or bottled water! Spoiled Rotten!!!! |
I use ceramic for their dry food and water. Thier home cooked meals I feed out of paperbowls. I wash their water dish every few days. Dry food bowl about 0nce a week. |
I have a fresh flow fountain that I only clean once a week. It has a charcoal filter that is replaced once a month. As for food, I clean the bowl every 2-3 days or if I can see any kind of build up starting it gets cleaned right away. I hate ants and roaches so I am parinoid about having dirty dishes around! Never knew bugs could get so big until I moved to Texas!:eek: |
I have two small stainless steel bowls that I use for dry food and wet food. Suki's water bowl is a small random plastic container. They seem to work just fine for us and all 3 bowls are cleaned after every feeding.. |

My dogs eat raw too. So I also put their food on paper plates and I throw then away after each meal. So that's basically 2 paper plates a day (1 per meal). |
