How to Clean a Dog's Water or Food Dish

Dogs need to have fresh containers just like people do. By cleaning your canine's dishes, you can prevent disease and bacteria from building up in the plate. Plus, you can create a pet's meal much more enjoyable!

Steps

1. Once your dog is finished eating and drinking, take the containers to the sink.

2. Wash out the containers with hot h2o until they are all wet.

3. Pour a few drops of plate detergent into the containers.

4. Scrub the containers with a plate brush or sponge, making sure to remove all food particles and crumbs.

5. Wash out the containers with cool h2o. You should rinse all of the plate detergent.

6. Dry the containers with a fresh and dry cloth, or sponges.

7. Once you are done cleaning the containers, fill up the h2o plate with fresh, cool-temperature, filtered h2o.

8. Put Clorox in the plate let sit for minutes.

9. Wash out thoroughly for at least 10 minutes with h2o and detergent.

10. Let air dry and put plate away.

11. Finished.

Tips

Clean your pet's containers daily.
Stainless steel pet containers are a great choice for pet owners. They won't processor like ceramic or glass containers (and when containers processor bacteria hides inside), and they are easier to clean! Plus, they won't break!
Always have h2o readily available for your dog.
Give your dog a healthy, balanced, and well-made diet, as specified by your veterinarian.

Warnings

Make sure to wash all of the plate detergent in the containers. If you don't, your dog could get VERY fed up.
Make sure to wash all of the Clorox bleach out of the plate, as this is harmful for the pet's internal organs and could cause them to become fed up or die.
