What’s the Clear Slime or sometimes even pink slime lurking in the water bowl?

Ever rub your fingers on the inside of your pets water bowl and feel a slippery slime of sorts?  Well, that invisible goo is called Biofilm.

Biofilm is a collection of organic and inorganic, living and dead materials collected on a surface. It is made up of many different types of bacteria bound together in a thick substance that acts as a glue to both hold the bacteria together and adhere it to a surface.

Bad  have been found to be involved in a wide variety of microbial infections in the body such as urinary tract infection, middle-ear infections and bladder infections.

Remember to always clean your pets water and food bowl at least once a day.  I am proud to report that me and my team clean the bowls at every visit.  They should be cleaned and wiped with a paper towel at least once a day.  Clorox Clean-up with Bleach is a great slime breaker.  I use it on both of their bowls, food and water.
