Maintenance
All PortionPro Rx Automatic Pet Feeder Parts that come in contact with pet food detach easily for cleaning. These should be washed before first use.
Note: Hand-wash with mild dish soap and warm water less than 165°F.
Dry all parts completely after cleaning and before assembling and filling your PortionPro Rx.
We recommend using a compressed air can as a quick and easy way to remove dust and small debris such as kibble.
