I WISH Szuka had a better appetite – it's easier to train food motivated dogs, lol. I've also seen people treat wood with coconut oil – which would be another food safe finish idea. I haven't tried it, but it's an interesting idea… Not all Danish Oil is food safe, but anything they recommend for oiling wood salad bowls, etc., would work.

Awww she sounds so much like my dog – food sorter he is too 🙂 Although his appetite is a bit too big for his size… The Danish Oil sounds like a great alternative, thanks for suggesting it!

That's a GREAT question! Because Szuka is such an odd duck, it's not really a concern for us. With her bowl stand at home, she never, ever eats off the painted area. She isn't one of those dogs who hoovers her meal and kibble goes flying. She sorts them, one by one, sometimes eating off the floor but 99% of the time, she carefully selects kibble from her stainless bowl. She has the slowest metabolism and the worst appetite! But if she were a dog who plows through her food and then licks crumbs off the stand surface, something like a walnut ply with Tried and True brand Danish Oil (which is food safe) would be a better choice. Thanks for raising that concern – sometimes I forget not all dogs are like her 🙂

I'm so happy to hear you like method too!! I really love when I can collaborate with a brand I use and love. I have honestly never used a better granite cleaner. Wish my hubby was as smitten as yours, haha.

Awww,I would share her if I could!! She's awfully stinky right now, lol. Thanks for pinning!
