uumm….if your dishwasher is doing its job then ALL the dishes will be clean. If it worries you why are you not worried about other peoples dishes that have been washed in that dishwasher?… why would you ever eat at a resturant ever again?

Humans have more bacteria in their mouths than dogs and cats, so I have no problem putting my dogs food bowl in the dishwasher after a hot rinse with water.

  I’ve seen my dog eat it’s own poop… that image is too much for me lol. I would probably be more relaxed if I had a less disgusting dog

I have used the dishwasher for this when I have had a powerful dishwasher. I currently don’t in my house right now so these get done by hand.

I suspect my response is more emotional than rational, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it..

Quick handwash, what’s wrong with that

I have a very, very expensive dishwasher that works extremely well so id have no problem with it even tho I dont do it as I never thought about doing it.

Animals have different viruses that can be transmitted to humans as seen currently this does not sit right with me

each to their own. i prefer to hand wash the dog bowls. but as long as your dishwasher works well/does a good job, don’t see why not – after all a lot more dirtier items go in.

Depends on how good your dishwasher is. But they can be easily washed separately

I suppose we are all different and will have different opinions on what we want to do here.
I personally wouldn’t but I don’t want to judge those that do that.

not sure about this one

My husband does this. It grossed me out the first time but then I realised that as long as I trust the dishwasher cleaning, then there isn’t an issue. Similar to putting regular clothes onto my nappies wash, if I trust the cleaning process there’s no issue, if I don’t trust the cleaning process then I need to fix the process.

I do it separately.

Pet bowls can be handwahed separate please!

I wash my pet bowls separately.
