MCINL for once.
I don't own a dishwasher. ;-)

But I do clean my pet dishes in the sink in hot soapy water with
everything else.

Well, I'm NEARLY first... I don't wash the pet saucers in the
dishwasher because we don't have one... but yes they get washed in the
regular sink at the same time as the rest of our dishes. It's not like
we live in a sterile environment - when you wake up with a cat washing
your face, you're getting a pretty good dose of feline saliva! lol

There is an answer that states - "N/A: I don't have a DW"

And no - you can't have a second vote <laugh>

I think the usual order for doing dishes in the sink is:
1. glasses
2. cutlery
3. dishes
3. pots and pans
..
..
..
dog (or cat) dishes

I have no problem with washing the pet bowls in the dishwasher, but it's
not much an issue here. Our dog is momma's boy. My wife feeds him, and
she usually does the dishes. When I do a load in the dishwasher I
always put the dog's food and water bowls in the machine.

Have another cup of coffee (or caffeine delivery vehicle of choice) and read
the choices again; pay attention to the fourth one. 8-)

A point of note, at least concerning cats: their dishes need to be either
metal or ceramic (hence dishwasher safe). Plastic bowls can lead to kitty
acne on their chins. Uncomfortable and difficult to clear up.

I even use to feed my dogs from my own dishes until the new dog. She
started doing something that started chipping the bowls. Since she was just
a puppy I didn't blame her. I went to the Dollartree and got 12 plastic
bowls. Turns out they wash up great on the bottom rack. Who knew! I
usually have 2 to 4 dog bowls in the dish washer every time it runs. Works
out great for us.

Huh!? Never heard of such a thing, and the plastic bowl our cat
eats out of hasn't caused any problems for him. Lots of people
use plastic bowls for cat food. Where did you get this idea?

As for cleaning, my wife washes the cat dishes by hand in the
sink. I would not mind them being in the dishwasher, but they
stay out with dry food and water all the time and it would be
inconvenient to put them in the DW. We only run the DW when
it's full, and that varies, so there is no fixed schedule and
it's already full so there isn't room to add the cat dishes.

We run at least one daily load of dishes, which includes pet bowls for our
5 cats and the water dish.

Very true. My first cat suffered with this until it ws diagnosed. Even
though her plastic dishes were washed in the dishwasher, they still caused
the problem.

Well, Bill, it is true. My first cat suffered with this and was diagnosed
with the problem and cause by her veterinarian. (When he first saw her,
his immediate question was what type of bowls did she eat and drink from.)
I switched to ceramic bowls, applied a vitamin ointment to her chin for a
week, and she never had the problem again in her lifetime.

I got this idea from my cat's vet and it's also mentioned occasionally in
articles in Cat Fancy magazine and on the various cat ng's. I didn't say
ALL cats will have problems if they eat from plastic bowls.

Well, I guess our cats aren't that "Fancy". They've been eating out of
plastic bowls for the last 5 or 6 years (washed by my fair hands) and
they haven't suffered from any kitty acne on their chins (or
elsewhere).
