Is it gross to let a dog lick out of a bowl before its washed?

Over reacting, the dishwasher will sanitize it

Hahaha thatā€™s what you get tehehe

Yā€™all like coming after white folk in this group. I say as long as the dish is properly disinfected and washed thoroughly itā€™s fine. I donā€™t let my dog lick me in the face. And I would not take a loan out to pay for a surgery for my dog.

Just putting this out there for people who, like me, were unaware, but potatoes are poisonous to dogs. :frowning: Also, as long as itā€™s washed, I donā€™t see the problem. <3

The dogs mouth is actually cleaner than a typical human mouth and itā€™s going to be washed in water hot enough to kill anything, and if it goes into a dishwasher most dishwashers get hotter than what they use to sterilize surgical equipment in hospitals. I, personally, donā€™t see the issue, but to each their own.

I let my dog take bites of food from my forkā€¦she is a lady. Gentle soul. Remember people who have dogs in their home treat them as family. You were a guest in her home. Over reacting to a situation that is normal for animal lovers. And it is definitely not a race issue, why you even had to go there says a great deal about who you are!!!

Iā€™m white and would never let my dog or cat lick out of my dishes. If I want to give them my food, I put some in their bowl. And my animals are my babies, they are definitely part of the family.

My husband is white and would flip his shit. :rofl::woman_shrugging:

absolutely - they lick a lot of unclean things - use a little bleach when you wash dishes if you let your animals eat out of your dishes.

My dogs always like my plate. :woman_shrugging: its going to be washed

I think itā€™s gross too.

I love animals. Dogs especially. But likeā€¦he got his own bowl though. Itā€™s a no for me man. I wouldnā€™t say ā€œfreak outā€ but maybe thereā€™s a talk coming where you gotta let her know this isnā€™t one of those things you can compromise on. Itā€™s fairly easy to not let a dog lick out cha bowl :joy::joy:

If the bowl is going in the dishwasher itā€™s gonna be pretty much sterile when itā€™s done. It wouldnā€™t matter if the dog crapped in the bowl.

I prefer to just scrape whatever I give him into his bowl or onto a disposable plate. Sometimes, when he hasnā€™t had much of an appetite for a few days, I will mix leftovers/remnants of what I had in a bowl and give it to him. However, I donā€™t like to let him lick the dishes. Nor is he allowed in the kitchen.

Yes you are over reacting, Iā€™m sure that bowl has had worse things in it. Raw meats and fish etc. hot soap and water will clean it or a dishwasher will.

Yes it is disgusting, also so is having a dog at the table while youā€™re eating, or allowing your cat to walk on your table or kitchen workbench etc. If you want to give the dog leftovers then put it in their bowl.

Dog licks butt. Dog licks bowl. I wouldnā€™t smear my poop in a bowl then wash it and eat out of it. Itā€™s the principle of the matter.

I meanā€¦if no one else is eating out of it and it is going through the dishwasherā€¦ I see nothing wrong with it.

Just wash it. No big deal. You canā€™t catching nothing from the bowl. Iā€™d be more worried about a human mouth on the bowl the.n a dogs. I donā€™t allow mine to do it or allow mine in the kitchen. But my parents did and yea Iā€™m still alive lol

Miranda Hartnagel , thats an urban legend. Dogs mouths are filthy. I know because I was bitten by a dog several times and was told by the doctors that the risk for infection was high because of all the bacteria from the dogs mouth. I had to take an antibiotic that cost 250 dollars and doctor said any sign of infection to get to the hospital immediately if I didnt want to lose my leg.

Dogs mouths are cleaner than ours. They have enzymes we donā€™t have that kill bacteria.

Most of yall will let your dog lick your face but jot lick a bowl that you are going to wash? Make it make sense.

Iā€™m not sure I understand the question the way itā€™s phrased compared to reading your narrative. Is the question whether itā€™s gross that the dog licked the bowl that humans use for food, even though it will be washed before itā€™s used again? I donā€™t think itā€™s that serious unless youā€™re a terrible dishwasher lol

I personally will not let my dog or cats lick or use my dishes. They have their own. Itā€™s disgusting to me as well. However itā€™s all in our minds. Once it goes in the dishwasher is really is fine. Itā€™s just a matter of preference. No right or wrong here.

My momma would pitch a fit if someone allowed an animal to lick off her dishes. You are not overreacting! Oh and Iā€™m white lol

I think itā€™s absolutely repulsive to have a dogs saliva in any of your dishes. Dogs mouths are not clean, as many people argue. If my dog licks out of one of our dishes, its either hers now or in the garbage.
