Today there's more news about the dangers of plastics. The big story in abc World News is that the plastic in baby bottles causes long-term health problems for human children. Our pets are also at risk if they use plastic dishes and toys. The health threat to humans and pets is from BPA or Bisphenol A, an ingredient in most plastics. BPA accumulates in the body and has been shown to stimulate cancer cell growth.
To keep your pets safe, use glass, ceramic, or stainless dishes rather than plastic dishes. Ceramic baby dishes are often the best bet for pet dishes because they're lead-free, strong, and easily cleaned.
