Dogs doing the dishes...

What do you guys think about letting your dog lick bowls, plates, spoons and other dishes? My friend and her family lets their dogs do that after they eat… they let the dogs like the plate/dish/spoon off before putting it in the sink, and my dad lets our dogs do it too. I don’t know… it kind of grosses me out in a way because I mean dogs lick their own butts and stuff and they’re licking off something I have to eat off? True the dishes are washed afterwards but I don’t know… still seems kind of icky right? What are your thoughts on this?

Answer #3

Yeah… I don’t like it at all.. I am a bit of a strict person when it comes to clean food and dishes.

Answer #4

If the dishes are washed after, it’s not a big deal.

Answer #5

if they were actually washing them then yes, it would be disgusting but seeing as though there being washed afterwards then its not really a problem besides, its less food you have to throw away as well and there are billions of germs all over our hands and mouths that get transfered onto the plates and the cutlery we use so as long as you wash them afterwards, theyll still be clean

Answer #6

Its is gross but dogs have less germs then humans thats why they dont get diseases when the lick their buts humans licking their plate is bader is ut hink about it!!!
