🐾⚠️ Paws Healthy Pet Corner BIOFILM Warning ⚠️🐾
🧼 No matter the material, the best way to protect your pet and your family is simple: Wash your pet's food and water bowls EVERY DAY with soap and hot water!
⚠️ That slimy layer in the bowls are a mix of bacteria, saliva, and buildup that form fast and can even make your animals sick!
⚠️Every time your pet takes a lap of water, they deposit microbes from their mouth into the bowl. If your pet plays in the water bowl with their paws, that can deposit dirt and f***l matter, which can contain bacteria and parasites.
⚠️ The bacterium within this biofilm is up to 1,000 times more resistant to antibiotics and disinfectants than other bacteria.
⚠️ The National Sanitation Foundation ranked Pet Bowls as the fourth most germ-filled place in the home. Bacteria like salmonella and E. coli are commonly found in dog bowls, as well as watering bowls, which not only affect pet health, but they can also make your human family members sick too.
