Pet bowls
We would never eat off a plate, lick it clean, stick it on the counter, and use it later. But some expect their pets to do exactly that, over and over again. And they really get in there, running their tongue over the whole thing to get every morsel of food. Research has found quite a bit of bacteria in Fido’s bowl, and while the largest count of bacteria was found on plastic bowls, the most dangerous bacteria (namely E. coli and MRSA) was found in ceramic bowls. Put your pet’s bowls in the dishwasher every time you run it, just like you do with all other recently soiled dishwares. Be sure to use the highest temperature setting, as some strains of salmonella can survive low heat.
