Did you know that you should clean your dog’s water bowl on a regular basis? The water bowl can build up quite the collection of bacteria if it’s not wiped down and cleaned. Simply pouring out the water and replacing it will not effectively clean the bowl. You should refresh your dog’s water at least once per day. You should clean it, sanitize it and refresh it with fresh water once a week. If your dog is a messy eater and tends to take bites of food and wash it down with water then you may need to clean the water bowl even more frequently. It’s a good idea to dump the water and wipe the bowl with a paper towel. If the paper towel turn a different color or shows gunk on it then it’s time to completely clean the bowl. Talk with your veterinary clinic Folsom, CA for more tips.
