7 Mistakes Dog Parents Make at Mealtime (And How to Fix Them) 🐶🍽️

Mealtime is the best time… until it’s not

Every dog parent loves the happy tail-wags at dinner. But let’s be honest, some of us (🙋 guilty) make small mistakes that can mess with our pup’s health.

Here are the 7 most common feeding mistakes and how to fix them:

---

1. Leaving food out all day ⏰

It feels convenient, but it can lead to overeating, obesity, and even ants or pests.
Fix: Serve meals at set times. Dogs love routine.

---

2. Using plastic bowls 🚫

We’ve covered this — scratches = germs. Plus, “puppy acne” is not cute.
Fix: Go stainless steel. Wumpy’s got you.

---

3. Not cleaning bowls daily 🧼

Would you eat off the same plate for a week? Nope.
Fix: Wash bowls after every meal. Dishwasher-safe bowls make it painless.

---

4. Feeding too close to playtime 🏃

Running right after eating can cause bloat, especially in bigger breeds.
Fix: Wait at least an hour after meals before play or walks.

---

5. Wrong bowl size 🍲

Tiny bowls for big dogs = frustration. Huge bowls for small pups = overeating.
Fix: Pick a bowl that matches your dog’s size.

---

6. Forgetting water 💧

Some parents refresh water only once a day. Problem is, bacteria love warm, stale water.
Fix: Change water often. Clean the bowl daily.

---

7. Ignoring spills and crumbs 🐾

That puddle around the bowl? It attracts mold, ants, and all kinds of creepy crawlies.
Fix: Wipe the feeding area once a day. Non-slip bowls help reduce the mess.
