While stainless steel is rust resistant, it isn\u2019t 100% rust proof.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-often-should-you-wash-dog-bowls\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_often_should_you_wash_dog_bowls\"><\/span>How often should you wash dog bowls?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You should wash your dog\u2019s food bowl after every meal. You can wash their water bowl less frequently, but you will need to completely empty, sanitize and refill it at least once per week. Water bowls tend to collect a slimy build-up called biofilm, which allows harmful bacteria to take over.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y_8PeKshEy4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4XQa_8ju_zs\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"should-dogs-have-metal-bowls\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_dogs_have_metal_bowls\"><\/span>Should dogs have metal bowls?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Which is best?
