How many people here let the dogs "pre-clean" the roasting pans?
I know it sure makes cleaning them easier as the dogs really do a good
job getting the "gross" off...

I found, much to my surprise, that many of my co-workers join me in this
practice when I've talked about it at work. :-)

And I know the dogs sure appreciate it.

I also let them do the skillet once in awhile if I've cooked something
particularly messy. The border collie even gets her teeth into it and
scrapes things pretty well.

Cheers!

I will often let Molly " do the dishes" She loves it, the cats of

I wouldn't let a cat. They have dirtier mouths than we do.

We only have cats, but they get to "do" the dishes when I know I've cooked
something they really like. I enjoy watching them!

Be careful with cats. Just one high fat meal can cause
pancreatitis in cats, which is quite serious.

As far as any animal "washing" dishes or pots, the thought
creeps me out.

They actually get very little. To them, it's the "idea" that they're
getting forbidden food. :-)

OT: Is your Mollie a Border Collie? WE have a 9 month old Border
Collie gotten from the Humane Society. Got her at 6 months and she is
a trip. She is a food-aholic and although we don't let her lick
plates because I buy her the very best dog food from the vet's and I
don't want a plump dog, she'll eat several whole huge avocados during
the day. She sneaks her dog cookies out of the zip lock etc. What a
character. We live on a coffee farm and she has caught rats,
mongooses, and dismembers cockroaches when she finds them. I guess
she's a work-aholic too She gives the "sheep stare" to my sweet
cats and that's something we are working on.

Ohmygosh!! My dog is a collie-spaniel-mystery farm dog mix (looks like
Lassie but with spanial spots too) and topped out at almost 60 pounds.
THe SPCA said his mother was only about 20 pounds. God only knows what
his father was?? LOL

The odds of your border collie getting fat are very rare...
I HAVE to feed my border collie table scraps and extra canned food just
to keep some weight on her! She is anything but fat and tends to be thin
as she is sooooo incredibly active. She has kibbles available 24/7 and
tinned food every night.

Cheers!

I love my 2 dogs and cat, but count me out for having them scrape the
remains of supper....

On the very odd occasion, my kids will let them lick their plates. 'Gross'

And I hope that the dishwasher will wash away all the germs.

Most if not all dishwasher detergents contain bleach so any dog germs
are killed when the dishes are washed. Besides "they" say that a dog's
mouth is cleaner than a human's. Even regular dishwashing liquid will
kill germs.

The facts of it are that the dog has less germs in his mouth than you do.
I was not raised with dogs, but now I have one and have gotten used to
allowing him to lick the dishes, pots and pans. If they're going into
the dishwasher, with a heat dry, any pathogens should be well taken care
of. It just took some getting used to..and I do want my pooch to feel
like one of the family LOL

They lick their behinds even if they don't have tapeworms. They sniff other
dogs' behinds and turds. However, there's one redeeming reason to let a dog
lick the dishes: It keeps the beast standing still long enough so you can
really savor the moment before putting a bullet through its heart.
Priceless.

Maybe the leftovers in the pan were not that good. The dog was
probably licking its behind to get the bad taste out of its mouth.

ROFL!!!
If you treat your dogs for heartworm like you are supposed to, they
won't have tapeworms. ;-)

Also, dog tapeworms are not contagious to humans.

And I use bleach in my dishwater...

Tapeworms in dogs are caused by fleas, not heartworm. You need Frontline
for fleas, Heartguard for heartworm.

<sigh> I know that...
The point is that Heartworm is treated with Ivermectin.
If you treat dogs for heartworm, the same drug will also kill tapeworms.

Ask your vet.

I also use front line to control fleas on both cats and dogs, and front
line also controls ear mites.

In cats, I use Cestex when I see tapeworms. Since I have so many cats,
the vet just sells me a bottle of 100 tabs at a time for $160.00. When I
see tapeworm segments in the cats, I treat.

Uhhmm, forgive my ignorance you two, but how the hell do fleas cause animals
to suffer from an intestinal parasite like a tapeworm (Dipylidium
caninum)?!? OK - Google has answered! That's one stage of their development
I hadn't learned of - 'thanks' (not!) for inflaming my curiosity concerning
tapeworms, intestines, fleas and pet's arses... Heheheh... ',;~}~

There is a product that does prevent heartworm and will control Round
worms and one other worm but it isn't tape worms.Revolution which you
apply to the back of their neck- cats and dogs. When I treat my dogs
for the icky looking tapeworm, that pill costs over $3.

The dish soap changes the pH of the water more than enough to kill germs.
You don't need bleach.

Probably true, but bleach kills cold viruses too...
I don't worry about that with the dogs, people spit is more dangerous.

None for me, thanks. I know, dishes can be sterilized -- so can bedpans but

I 'know' it's illogical, but I can't help it. The illogic of it was brought
home when I had my kids. I used cloth diapers and smiled as I used a clean
one on my shoulder to catch spit up or to wipe baby's mouth. It was at that
moment that I thought "We'd never consider using a freshly washed diaper or
our own underwear as a dish towel or napkin, yet we think nothing of using
one as a napkin for the baby."

You still need to sterilize flatware, especially after a dinner party.
That's the reason I always use bleach in my dishwater, not because I let
the dogs clean the pans. ;-)

I am FAR more likely to catch diseases from another human than the dogs.

Hepatitis comes to mind.......

We do. Because... I have a dishwasher that washes in water hotter than I
can put my hand in.

Does your dishwasher have its own heater to raise the water temp higher than
that of the house's main water heater?

You can set the thermostat on the water heater. Mine is set at 140.

Expensive little detail ... keeping 40 whatever gallons of water that hot
24/7 for a few dishes a day. The dishwasher just heats up what it uses
from the water heater. Also, I can tolerate hot water on my hands, but
not as hot as the dishwasher gets ... I can't even touch the plates when
the wash/rinse is done without letting them sit, they're nasty hot!

I think most dishwashers come with that anymore.

I don't keep it that hot for a few dishes, I keep it that hot so I can
take longer showers. ;-)
