1. Get rid of that plastic bowl
You need to put your dog’s food and water somewhere, so you purchase a water bowl and a food bowl – but what are these bowls made of? If it’s plastic, this spring cleaning is the best time to get rid of them and replace them with new ones. Yes, plastic bowls are cheap, but they are also hard to clean, easy to chew, and can even become a choking hazard to your puppy, which can lead to serious health problems, like internal bleeding. Plus, plastic will easily break down, containing your dog’s food and water with dangerous chemicals and causing food poisoning. Pick new food bowls made from safer materials, like silicone or stainless steel.
