FAQs
Daily dishwasher cycle for food bowls; water bowls at least daily, more often for droolers or outdoor use.
Remove rubber rings before sanitizing on high-heat settings to prolong life; hand-wash rings separately.
Use smaller capacities (8–16oz) and no-tip or non-skid bases to limit spills in transit.
