Dogs have to eat every day, and the most indispensable thing for dogs to eat is the dog bowl. So do pet owners wash dog dishes for their dogs often? Do you know what harm does not wash? Today, let’s discuss this topic!
Why do you need to clean dog dishes frequently?
1. If the dog bowl is not cleaned for a long time, a thin film will form on the surface, which is called "biofilm". Biofilms contain many impurities, tissues and bacteria, which will have an impact on the health of dogs.
2. The bacteria that grow in the dog bowl will exchange and reproduce with the bacteria in the dog's mouth. Finally, it passes through the dog's tongue and then spreads to its own owner. If you don’t wash dog dishes frequently, you will eventually be in a situation where people and dogs suffer from illness.
How often is it best to wash it?
Generally speaking, if the pet owner feeds dog food, it is best to clean it once a day. If the dog is fed homemade dog food or raw meat, it is best to wash it once every meal.
What else do pet owners do besides cleaning dog dishes?
1. In addition to dog bowls, dogs should also be cleaned frequently after water, because the water bowl is the same as the dog bowl. If they are not washed for a long time, bacteria will easily accumulate.
2. The bacteria in the dog bowl and the bacteria in the dog cavity will exchange and reproduce with each other. Therefore, in addition to washing the dog's bowl frequently, you should also pay attention to the oral health of the dog. You should help the dog clean his teeth regularly, and prepare some teeth grinding snacks and toys for the dog.
