FAQs

How do I clean the feeding set?

Wash the bottle, teats, and cleaning brush with warm, soapy water after each use. Rinse thoroughly.

What kind of milk replacement should I use?

Use a milk replacement formula specifically designed for the animal you are feeding (e.g., kitten milk replacement, puppy milk replacement).

How often should I feed my animal?

Feeding frequency depends on the animal's age and needs. Refer to the milk replacement formula instructions for guidance.

How do I know if the teat opening is the right size?

The milk should drip slowly from the teat when the bottle is inverted. Adjust the opening until the flow is appropriate for the animal's sucking strength.

What should I do if my animal is chewing on the teat?

Withdraw the bottle if the animal starts chewing on the teat instead of sucking. This can damage the teat and is a potential choking hazard.

Can I use this set for adult animals?

No, this feeding set is designed specifically for young, newborn, and growing animals.

How do I store the feeding set?

Store the cleaned and dried feeding set in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Animal is not sucking on the teat.

Adjust the teat opening to ensure proper milk flow. Ensure the animal is in a comfortable position and gently encourage sucking.

Animal is gagging or choking.

Adjust the teat opening to reduce milk flow. Stop feeding immediately and consult a veterinarian if necessary.

Bottle leaks.

Check if the teat is properly attached to the bottle. Ensure the bottle cap is securely fastened.
