We also sometimes have more than one bowl so we can grab a clean one if the others haven't been washed. But a couple got broken so I need to get more now.<br />Jan, Wag 'n Woof Petsjank1961https://www.blogger.com/profile/02300333186503144220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660403021590106773.post-25675656664670186722014-05-23T07:31:21.929-05:002014-05-23T07:31:21.929-05:00Great post!

Neither momma nor dad are great housekeepers, but they make sure I have clean bowls. Mom just bought me two extra bowls and they wash them in the dishwasher.

I admit I don't wash their food dish often. They spend about 3 minutes licking it clean after they eat. I know that is not enough to "keep it clean" though so I should probably wash them once in a while :) I wipe out their water bowl each time I fill it and wash that about once a week.Jessica @ YouDidWhatWithYourWeiner.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636058596387444739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660403021590106773.post-46810014311305694452014-05-22T10:37:51.705-05:002014-05-22T10:37:51.705-05:00Dog Dad washes all our water bowls (they are scatt...Dog Dad washes all our water bowls (they are scattered through out the house) every morning.Sheltie Timeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09767754895398722143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660403021590106773.post-76452827791158153632014-05-22T09:32:14.349-05:002014-05-22T09:32:14.349-05:00We feed raw so I am methodical about washing out t...We feed raw so I am methodical about washing out their food bowls. After Delilah has inspected them to insure no food remains, I pick them up, wash them with warm soapy water and rinse them well. I'm not so good with the water bowl. If I had to guess, I'd say it gets washed out about once a week. Truthfully I never really gave the water bowl much thought, but I will do better with this!!<br /><br />As for the travel bowl, that holds a lot of water!! I have a couple and they are lovely. Our dogs will also drink from a water bottle, water bottle/travel bowl as long as they drink, right?LetterstoAndrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13670264470223548503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660403021590106773.post-37920431062948969752014-05-22T08:28:03.077-05:002014-05-22T08:28:03.077-05:00I admit to be a little neglectful in this area, bu...I admit to be a little neglectful in this area, but will try to be more diligent.
