Piskyet Raised Dog Bowl Stand User Manual

1. Product Overview

The Piskyet Raised Dog Bowl Stand is designed to provide an elevated and stable feeding solution for small and medium-sized dogs. This stand helps promote better posture during eating and drinking, which can aid in digestion and reduce strain on your pet's neck and joints. Its adjustable design accommodates various bowl sizes, ensuring a secure fit.

This stand features a robust metal construction with an anti-rust coating, ensuring durability. Its unique 15-degree tilted leg design enhances stability, preventing accidental tipping during meal times. Felt stickers are included to minimize noise and secure the bowl.

2. Setup and Assembly

The Piskyet Dog Bowl Stand is designed for quick and easy assembly, typically taking 2-3 minutes. No complex tools are required; a flat screwdriver is sufficient for tightening the slotted screws.

Assembly Steps:

1. Step 1: Install the non-slip feet. Locate the four non-slip feet and insert them into the bottom ends of the stand's legs.
2. Step 2: Insert the fittings. Connect the four leg pieces to the central disc fitting. Ensure they are properly aligned.
3. Step 3: Adjust and tighten screws. Calibrate the length of the four legs to achieve the desired bowl diameter. Use a flat screwdriver to tighten the slotted screws securely.
4. Step 4: Install non-slip and anti-noise silicone pads. Apply the provided felt stickers to the four upper edges of the stand where the bowl will rest. This ensures a snug fit and prevents metal noise.

Once assembled, ensure all connections are secure and the stand is stable on a flat surface before placing a bowl.

3. Operation and Adjustment

This dog bowl stand is designed for versatility, offering adjustable width to accommodate various bowl sizes. The height of the stand is fixed at 7 inches, suitable for small to medium-sized dogs.

Adjusting Bowl Width:

• The stand's width can be adjusted to fit bowls ranging from 6 to 8 inches in diameter.
• To adjust, loosen the slotted screws on the central disc, slide the legs inward or outward to match your bowl's diameter, and then re-tighten the screws firmly.
• Ensure the bowl sits snugly within the stand to prevent movement and noise during feeding.

Key Operational Features:

• Stable Structure: The 15-degree tilted legs and anti-slip feet ensure the stand remains stable, even with active eaters.
• Silent Design: Felt stickers on the four edges closely fit the bowl, preventing metal-on-metal noise during use.
• Disc in Middle: A central disc helps keep the bowl balanced and can prevent water from overflowing onto the floor.

4. Care and Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your Piskyet Dog Bowl Stand and ensure it remains hygienic for your pet.

Cleaning Instructions:

• Wipe the stand regularly with a damp cloth to remove any food residue or spills.
• For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used. Ensure to wipe dry immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the frosting and anti-rust coating.

General Maintenance:

• Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
• Inspect the non-slip feet and felt stickers for wear and tear. Replace them if they become damaged to maintain stability and silent operation.
• The metal structure is designed to be more durable than wood and resistant to chewing. However, regular inspection for any damage is recommended.

5. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Piskyet Dog Bowl Stand.

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Issue: Stand feels unstable or wobbly.
  Solution: Ensure all four legs are calibrated to the same length and the slotted screws are fully tightened. Verify that the stand is placed on a flat, even surface. The anti-slip feet should be fully installed.
• Issue: Bowl rattles or makes noise when dog eats.
  Solution: Confirm that the felt stickers are properly applied to the four upper edges of the stand. Ensure the bowl's diameter is within the adjustable range (6-8 inches) and that the stand's width is adjusted snugly around the bowl.
• Issue: Difficulty adjusting the width.
  Solution: Loosen the slotted screws sufficiently before attempting to slide the legs. If resistance is met, ensure no debris is obstructing the sliding mechanism.
• Issue: Stand appears to have rust.
  Solution: While the stand has an anti-rust coating, prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh conditions can affect it. Clean and dry the stand immediately after any spills. If minor rust spots appear, they can sometimes be treated with a rust remover designed for metal, followed by drying and potentially a protective coating.
