    Thanks for the tip! Our vet actually recommended grain inclusive food I think related to her kidneys and urine results, but she had acne since before that - plus it’s mostly gone ever since we switched to a set of metal bowls that we wash after 1 use, and a brief period of regular cleaning with chlorhexidine wipes. These days I mostly just check on it once a month and periodically brush her chin to get rid of any loose blackheads since the large embedded ones are long gone.

      That’s super fair and I’m glad she has you looking out for her! It seems to be caused by a lot of things and you just do your best to handle it.

      I did something similar with my cats, but I basically found a whole box of saucers (like for under a coffee/tea cup) my mom bought back in the day, an “unbreakable” resteraunt variety, where buying the whole box was cheaper than buying a set of 12, because nobody wants them (why I didn’t sell them)

      So I have a stack that lasts about a week and a half of 4 plates daily (two cats each get 8am and 8pm). I just throw them in the dishwasher rather than daily washing. I’m very lazy. But I also live alone so it gets me to run my dishwasher before I’m entirely out of dishes.

        Ooh yeah our dishwasher is usually 1/4 full of the cat dishes lol, we do the same, the more frequent runs mean we don’t have to worry as much about running rinse cycles for dried on stuff. I couldn’t live without a dishwasher
