Do you wash your hands after petting your dog(s)/a dog...

Sometimes, but useally only after a play fight or lots of slobbering (Max, not me )

Only if the dog is really greasy

Depends what else I am doing at the time... like preparing food etc.

Mostly not unless there is a real reason that I should (mud, excessive slobber, "other items on the fir"). I'll even pet them while I'm eating. Yep, no problem in my mind. I do wash after shaking hands with people though.

I'll wash my hands if I'm going to be preparing food straight afterwards, but not otherwise. I'm just a slob!

Agree 100% about the other people bit, never know what you will catch As far as Tilly is concerned NEVER , seems little point since we do tongues and everything

nope!i'd end up having a compulsive hand washing disorder if i did
it just comes so natural to have contact with her

I really like my hands to feel clean and soft, so if there is a time that I have patted or played with Russell I wont always wash my hands, but if they feel a bit sticky or clammy or something doesn't feel nice on them I have to wash them!

and if I smell them and they stink like stinky dog who has rolled in something dead.

but yeah.. mmm sometimes.

i laughed when i saw this poll, its not something ive ever thought about so i put no but i suppose actually i do sometimes like everyone has said if im doing lunch or whatever

no

Very rarely and only if she is really dirty

Me neither!

I said sometimes because I dont if Ive just been having a stroke etc but I do if they have flea treatemnt on, after I have been applying Caseys ointment or anything medical and after a lot of slobbering and playing with smelly toys but not after a general hug and pat!

Only if I'm preparing food but if I'm sitting snacking then I will pat her while I eat. Usually have no choice as she is up with me wondering when she is getting her share

Only if im preparing food afterwards. I have no problems with it at all! She's my baby girl, part of the family xxxx

Na, not unless I'm guna prepare food

Nope unless of cause they have rolled in something ... but in saying that the smell given off of the offending mess they think is doggie cologne is enough for me to knock given them a stroke right on the head, till after they have had a bath

No.
I also give him chicken breast, let him take a bite, then take a bite from the same chicken myself, and repeat....
I'm disgusting really....
