Using this M-PETS plastic bowl is a breeze. Just place it on a flat surface for your pet to eat or drink from. The anti-slip bottom ensures it stays in place while your pet enjoys their meal. When it comes to cleaning, simply use warm soapy water and a sponge. Rinse it thoroughly and let it dry. For maintenance, avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might scratch the plastic. Also, check the bowl regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any cracks or chips, it's time to replace the bowl.
