WORKING IN THE FOOD PREP AREA

Please keep this area clean and neat.
If supplies of treats and biscuits run low, re-stock the area from main inventory supplies.
Keep the stock of canned dog food on the shelves complete, re-stocking as needed.
Immediately take all dirty dishes to the dish washing station for disinfection.
Please do not leave open bags of dog food lying around. All food should be in the rolling bin
either labeled “dog food” or “puppy food.”
Use a bleach spray to keep the table clean; be sure to mix the bleach fresh each day.
Keep the tops tight on the food holders for adult and puppy food.
When these food holding containers are empty, roll them over to the supply corner and re-fill with
appropriate food type.
Sweep up any spilled dog food after each feeding.
Filling Water Pails

The water at the shelter is potable.
Fill the watering can with water.
The water pails are to be hung on the inside front of the cage to the side of the gate, so it is easy to
fill the bowl without opening the cage.
When putting water in cages of puppies, place the bowls to the back of the cage – they are less
likely to be tipped over.
When there are no available bowls, please try to use sturdy, flat bottomed bowls – preferably
rubber bottomed stainless steel if possible – this will save you lots of cleaning of spilled water!

WASHING THE DISHES
Note: bleach becomes inert after exposure to light and air, so yesterday’s mixture is no longer effective.
Please mix up fresh cleaning solution first thing in the morning and set up
● Fill sink with water and dish detergent
● Fill the second wash tub with plain water for rinsing.
● Fill the third tub with a bleach mix: [enter how much bleach to water based on the amount of
water the tub holds]
● Fill the last tub full with plain water for rinsing. (The rinse after bleach may also be performed
under running water.
● When finished with the dishes, drain all the tubs.
Disinfecting Dishes:

Clean any food particles from the dishes by wiping them out into the trash.
Place dishes in the detergent solution and scrub completely with a plastic scrubbies (no sponges)
inside and place the bowl in a clear water rinse:
Place dishes in the bleach solution and leave for a minimum of 10 minutes.
Place dishes in the rinse water and thoroughly rinsed under running water until there is no bleach
residue.
Stack dishes upside down so they can drain on the racks next to the dish area.
When dishes are dry, take them back to the proper area: clean dish area for dogs or the food prep
area. Do this by the end of the day so there are clean dishes for the next day.
