Two of my friends have 4 year old mid sized dogs that have developed cancer. It turns out both dogs have been drinking and eating from fairly new stainless steel dog bowls made in China. When the bowls are filled with clean water an oily film forms on the water surface. A large veterinary service in the area has compiled info relative to these pet bowls and cancer in pets. We speculate the film may be from the SS manufacturing process in China. If you see this film on clean water in your pets SS bowls, stop using it. With any pet bowl, I'd run it through an automatic dishwasher on sanitize setting before using. Spread this around to fellow pet owners.

If that's the case, i'm not sure I'd want to run it through my dishwasher. Is there any guarantee that the residue will all be flushed away from the dishwasher without becoming attached to some of the internal surfaces or plumbing?

Actually we stopped using pet bowls all together, We been using "people" bowls that are probably 30 years old.

"Fairly new" tells me it isn't the bowls. Cancer doesn't come on that fast unless there's an extremely high exposure to something. It could be the food. It could be something else. If the dogs are closely related, it could be heredity. I'd be suspicious of the oily film, though. I'd trust Chinese plastic less than Chinese stainless steel.

Thanks for the info. Also: there have been numerous recalls of pet food. Just saw another recall this week. The article recommended Purina brands as the only safe choice. That might be a bit of a stretch to recommend just one brand. Our vet told us to stay away from Wal-Mart's Old Roy brand years ago. Explained that the food values / ingredients listed on the label are useless. What a lab can measure and what a dog can digest are two different things. So we won't buy the Old Roy dog food, treats, or chew bones. Try a Google search of recalled dog food brands.

Dogs may not be farm equipment but they a definitely part of the farm and family. I can't think of any farm big or small without at least one dog.

My wife has been on this dog food problem for the last 2 years and her findings are down right scary. From Cancer, to gut rot, low muscle mass, to low to no vitamins, some of these foods that are out there is like feeding cardboard to your dog! Man, what the Hell happened? We had to move to a couple different dog foods to where our dog was good with it without any problems..... Steve@B&B

I feed my 17 year old Dog two hot dogs and a hand full of ham plus all the good dry old dog food he can eat out of s old rubber bowl for all them years, yes he has some cancer, I had him to the vet over four years ago about it and was told then to just put him down. Old "Bandit" the dog go's hunting as we like to call it for what food he needs most every day and can still run down most dogs he finds on his farm. So I can keep this here, Bandit still go's with me behind the WD45 tractors every time I start one of them it up, but for some reason he will not walk behind the D19.
