Study: Metal bowls have MORE dangerous bacteria⚠️ than plastic! 🤯

Pet food and water bowls can transmit bacteria, according research, and while 67% of owners use metal bowls, only about 1/3 of people wash the bowl after a meal, and some only dry wipe, which is how the bacteria party gets started 🤢. And that slippery film in the water bowl after 24 hours? That’s a brew of bacteria🦠 that can be transferred from your dog to you and your family.

The amount of moisture in the food also matters. Wet food (compared to dry) was associated with higher bacteria - and higher humidity levels are likely to create perfect conditions for bacterial growth, especially after coming in contact with dog saliva left in the bowl.

In our new book, The Forever Dog LIFE, we lay out the pro’s and con’s of different types of bowls. Here’s a glimpse of what you need to know:

Plastic🥣: Chemicals in plastic absorb through the skin and inhibit the synthesis of melanin, which can cause Plastic Dish Nasal Dermatitis that leaves your pet’s nose & lips, pink and irritated.

Ceramic:🫖 Hartpury scientists found the most harmful bacterial species (salmonella, E.coli and MRSA) were most frequently found in ceramic bowls because of people continuing to use them after fine cracks in the glaze become visible.

Stainless steel🥄: cheaper quality bowls have been involved in recalls due to heavy metal contamination. Be sure to buy high-quality bowls (18-gauge or 304 steel) from a trusted source.

Glass🥛: Durable, kitchen-friendly glass bowls made from 100% borosilicate glass (Pyrex) make great food and water bowls on the floor.

🧼No matter which type of bowl you use, the best thing you can do to protect you and your dog’s health is to wash your bowl after every meal with hot water and soap. In addition, at least once a week, run your bowls through the hot cycle in your dishwasher. You can also coat the bowl with hydrogen peroxide, wait five minutes, then wipe with a clean sponge and rinse.

For more info on bowls, checkout The Forever Dog LIFE book where in part one titled The Forever Kitchen and the section labelled “Food & Water Bowls", we cover how to choose the best chemical-free bowls🌱 that won’t leach contaminants⚠️ over time. - ForeverDogLife.com

🐱🐱📌 Attention 📌🐱🐱
📌📌🐱🐱for your little fur babies🐱🐱📌📌
📌📌There are many wonderful shelter building guides out there, but this is how we do it for our Flatbush cats in 18 gallon plastic containers:📌📌
📌📌Please share📌📌

Step 1: Insulate the container. We used spray foam insulation this year. If you're doing more than 50, you can spring for a large vat like we did, but for smaller projects handheld canisters also work. Make sure the whole inside surface of your container is covered in a nice generous layer.
Step 2: Drill the drain holes. Two small holes in the bottom of the container will make sure that even if some water or dampness sneaks in, the shelter can dry out effectively.
Step 3: Mark the entry. We used a cardboard template for this to make sure each pilot hole ended up in the exact same spot.
Step 4: Cut the entry. Cats can fit anywhere their heads can, so a 6 inch hole is plenty big for access. We splurged on a special drill bit that punches holes exactly that size which really, really, speeds up the process if you're making these in any kind of numbers. Be sure to secure your shelter to the table to make drilling safe and easy (we used clamps). If you're going to hand-cut, be very careful and trace a 6 inch hole to guide you as you cut!
Step 5: Prep materials to line the entry. We used lengths of flexible 5/8-inch garden hose to create a seal between the foam and the container at the entry point and to make squeezing in and out more comfy for the cats. To prepare it, use a string to measure the diameter of the entry hole, add an inch, and use that as your template to cut segments. Then cut a slit along the outside edge of the hose and set aside for now.
Step 6: Cut materials to insulate the lid. We use double-sided mylar bubble wrap to make sure less escapes through the top of the shelter. We bought a giant roll, cut it into rectangles as wide as our lid tops, then trimmed each piece for the perfect fit.
Step 7: Line lids. To line the lids, we secured a single mylar sheet using waterproof tape.
Step 8: Fill with straw. Be generous here as the straw does settle a lot. A bit more than half full is a good benchmark.
Step 9: Line the entry. Find your pile of hose and get started. Use the slit you cut to stretch over both the container and foam, holding them together. You want a little overlap on the end here just to keep everything secure.
Step 10: Drill holes and add zip ties. You've reached the end! Add lids back on to your shelter and drill two holes at opposite ends of the long sides through lid and container. Thread through zip ties to keep the lids in place and trim any excess.

Whew! That was quite a lot but we're glad we did it. Shout out if you have any questions about making your very own shelters for your chilly community cats.https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=347485464604013&id=100080276862648&mibextid=Nif5oz

🚨🚨GOOD ADVICE 🚨🚨

🚨🚨This had to be said🚨🚨

📌📌Quick Winter dog house tips:📌📌

❄️ turn the house facing away from the direction the wind is blowing (almost always turned south in winter)
❄️ no blankets, towels, dog beds- they collect moisture and will stay damp making your dog colder (like when you go camping and your tent is damp in the morning)
❄️ hay’s for horses, straw’s for paws- straw is a much better insulator than hay and doesn’t sour and smell awful
❄️ when you stuff the dog house, put more in than you think they need- dogs are denning creatures, they will burrow and bed down in it where they are warm on all sides
❄️ pitbulls and pit mixes (short, thin coated dogs) are not made to withstand freezing temperatures outdoors. They usually have a low body fat percentage, thin coat and bare bellies.
❄️ puppies are not cut out for the cold either- young puppies cannot regular their body temperature the way adult dogs can
❄️ if somebody told you, “dogs are made for weather like this”- they are jerks and they lied. Just because an animal can survive it does not mean they should have to!

❌ PLEASE LEAVE THEM IN THE SHOPS ❌

Just a little warning regarding the Xmas treat many stores are now starting to stock for dogs at xmas.

Many of these so called treats end up with the dog "enjoying" some time in a veterinary surgery over Christmas.

The vast majority of these rawhide products and treats come from China.

The chews are made from cattle or horse hides and their journey starts with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulphide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are used in order to split the hide into layers which is then washed with hydrogen peroxide to give the white "pure" look and remove the rancid smell.
Now comes the pretty festive colors and the glue to form cute shapes.
On testing, these chews have shown traces of arsenic, mercury, chromium and formaldehyde.

If that wasn't bad enough, they regularly cause intestinal blockages, poisoning from chemical residue and choking.
The chews go slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save a choking dog.

Leave them in the shop where they belong or if some well meaning person buys them for your dog put them safely away for later, then dispatch in the bin!

Please be safe with your dogs!!!

Rosey Reporting 🚨🚨 ALL DOG OWNERS BEWARE OF THIS VIRUS KILLING DOGS!
IN 14 STATES SO FAR!

How do I protect my dog from the mystery illness?
The general advice from veterinary professionals is to minimize contact with other dogs. This means, where possible:

Avoid dog parks.
Avoid using doggy daycare or boarding.
Avoid grooming shops.
Use walkers or sitters who will take your dog solo.
Make sure your dog is fully vaccinated, especially against kennel cough.
Make sure your dog is in good general health (this includes a good diet).
And please, if your dog shows any signs of respiratory issues, please contact your vet and isolate your dog from other animals.
