How often should the Xiaomi Smart Pet Food Feeder 2 be cleaned and replaced the desiccant cartridge?

Question

Accepted Answer

It is recommended to replace the desiccant cartridge preventing the pet foods from being damp and deteriorated every month to clean the food bowl every 2 to 3 days when using dry or freeze-dried pet foods. If the surrounding environment is humid and poorly ventilated, it is recommended to clean it daily to prevent bacterial growth and impact on the health of your beloved pet. The material of the desiccant is the same as that of medical desiccants, mainly composed of silica gel. If improperly used and ingested by pets, please seek medical attention promptly. The shelf life of the desiccant cartridge of the Xiaomi Smart Pet Food Feeder 2 is approximately 12 months without damaging the packaging (desiccant box stored in non-high pollution areas, such as high concentrations of formaldehyde, TVOC and humid areas). It is recommended to replace the desiccant cartridge every month after opening.
