How often do you wash your dog's water bowl? - Page 5

I clean my every other day in the sink. Every 7-10 days in the dishwasher.

I wash it every day with warm soapy water, and rinse it out well.

I should get two sets of food and water bowls and wash them daily in the dishwasher, right now I wash them weekly.

If I put anything other than kibble in the food bowl I wash it when he is done.

I change the water and rinse out the bucket (bowl, what is a bowl?) with a sprayer every day. I wash it with soap once or twice per week depending on how dirty the dogs have made it.

Couple times a week.

Adding that I fill his water bowl up several times a day and rinse it before filling it (just don't always wash it with soap)

My dogs don't use an actual bowl either, it is a big stainless steel pot. When we used to use a water bowl they would splash water all over, and it would need to be filled constantly. Here is a pic of my dogs water pot, and we always put ice in the water to keep it nice and cold and it only needs to be filled once, sometimes twice per day.

Thats an easy one....everyday, usually twice a day. Somehow theres always gunk of some kind in the bowl and I like it to be fresh, clean and clear.
