2) Place food in the bowl of the Portion Control LeBistro®(only for a period of time to allow adjustment)
3) Keep food in the pet's current bowl. (only for a period of time to allow adjustment)
4) Once you have observed your pet eating from the Portion Control LeBistro®, remove their old feeding dish and begin using the Portion Control LeBistro®.
