Experts have issued a warning about the way that you clean your pet's bowls.
A new study found that how often you wash your dog's food bowl may lead to your furry friend becoming ill. Owners can also get sick if a food bowl is not cleaned enough, reported The Mirror.
The research, undertaken by the Food and Drug Association (FDA) in America, investigates dog owners' feeding habits and evaluates the impact of FDA's hygiene protocols on dog food dish contamination. They found only 12% of the 417 dog owners surveyed wash their dog's dish daily, 22% clean it once a week, while another 18% wash it every three months or not at all.
