Everyone who has animals at home knows, or should know, that an essential part of caring for your pet is to provide them with a good diet. However, it is often overlooked that it is essential to keep the dish where we serve food and water clean.
Why is it important to wash the food plate for your pet's care?
It is wrong to think that pet feed or water leaves no residue in bowls intended for feeding.
If a lot of time goes by without them being cleaned, when you do, you will notice a mucous layer that can affect the body of the animal, because not all have a constitution strong enough to cope.
That your pet is much eaten and relaxes the dish until almost leaving it colorless, does not mean that it is completely clean, since there will always be small remains that will lead to multiple viruses.
And the same goes for the water bowl. Do you know how many bacteria can inhabit it? You can't even imagine...
Yeast, mold and a multitude of parasites can live in these dishes, passing to your pet's body if no special care is taken.
How do I wash your pet's food bowls?
After conducting a study of 22 families, after analyzing 30 household objects, it was discovered that pet dishes ranked fourth in the amount of bacteria.
Cleaning does not require much effort, but it is advisable to do so practically daily.
First, you can use a kitchen paper to remove all leftover food or fat left on the plate.
Then, we can use a sponge and some soap for a deeper cleaning. However, we must remember that kitchen sponges are at the forefront in the germ possession ranking, so a specific scouring pad should be used for these bowls. And as we do with the kitchen, change it regularly.
Finally, we will wash the bowls with plenty of hot water to remove all traces of soap. If residues of the product are left, it could be toxic to our animals and cause them as serious an evil as that of viruses.
So you know if you're really concerned about taking care of your pet, take note of these tips to keep him healthy and happy.
