my OH thinks i am disgusting because i wash my cat and dog's dishes in the sink. i do them after our own dishes have been done and all my clothes go in a boil wash after every use. he reckons you shouldnt wash pets dishes that often and not in our sink. am i wrong here but i wouldnt want them eating off dirty dishes the same as i wouldnt eat of yesterdays dinner plate.

I hate washing the dogs bowl, it's full of slime but it gets washed twice a day after our dishes. I have a cloth that is only used for the dogs bowl which gets changed once a week

if they're wormed monthly then whats the problem?my in laws are quite high brow and their dogs lick the dishwasher plates which is yuk so they always wash on 60C which wd kill anything anyway.

I put them in the dishwasher, but I would just wash them in the sink if I didn't have one. I do wash after every use though, same as I would with people plates and bowls.

My OH seems to think my pets are dirty in general and hates any of their things being anywhere near his things.

Their dishes are not be washed in our sink they should be done outside and have boiling water poured on them the litter tray should be kept outside and not in the utility room I must use the dogs fork when serving their dinner godforbid I can't find it and use one of ours it would have to be serilised or even thrown out.

If I wash any of their blankets or mats in the washer I must clean the washer before washing any of his clothes otherwise he will smell of dog

The dog is allowed to be washed in our bath but only if I bleach the bath thoroughly afterwards. He wants to bath cats as he thinks they are dirty I have told him if he wants to bath the cats then thats fine with me would he like to buy them some shampoo? I otoh value my eyes too much to do such a thing.
