I would not share a plate or utensil that the dogs have licked, but I am really baffled by those that would still be horrified at using a plate or utensil once it has been through the dishwasher! It is clean, it has just been washed for heavens sake.

The dogs often lick plates clean in this house, if we deem the food to have been dog friendly. The cat has no interest in human food and does not lick plates.

Nothing has ever happened to us as a result of our dogs licking plates.

I have never seen my dogs licking their bum, or any other part of their body for that matter.
