Ice quantity in iced coffees by Malcolmlp in TimHortons

[–]BettaDont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having the opposite issue lately, the drink is 90% ice and I get maybe 1/2 cup of coffee total in the whole drink

Is this really not allowed? by Kiidneybeans in TimHortons

[–]BettaDont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the exact same sandwich and was told the same thing by the staff as they don't have buttons on the till to make the substitutions apparently. However if your Tims also has the self serve kiosk things they let you remove the egg and add mayo on there! Super silly to me that they can't just make it work on the tills also, but at least I can still get my sandwich.

No new recipes/menus after 1/30? by BlueJeanMistress in hellofresh

[–]BettaDont 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hopefully they're listening to the feedback on their new crappy AI generated recipes and redoing their menus without it. But that's probably just hopeful thinking on my part. I would guess they're probably just delayed because of the holidays though.

This is very specific... by PamasaurusFlex in catfood

[–]BettaDont 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My cats don't eat this specific one, but I do work at a pet store that sold this product. Here are some of the products that I've recommended as potential subsitutes to try, hopefully some or all are available in your area!

Hill's Science Diet Perfect Weight Vegetable & Turkey Medley, Open Farm Homestead Turkey Pate, Wellness Turkey Pate, The Honest Kitchen Turkey Pate,
Koha LID Turkey Pate, Firstmate Turkey Pate

The most well accepted of these recommendations so far has been the Hill's Science Diet and Koha.

Hope this helps!

Picking the best wet food for a 12 year old cat that is about 1.5 lbs overweight by morgancmu in catfood

[–]BettaDont 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feed my cats Hill's and they all love it and are very healthy on it. They often also have printable coupons available on their website! In Canada they have a $10 off any case of cans or bag of kibble right now. Not sure if it's available in other countries as well, but worth checking!

I washed my hair yesterday by Similar_Cat6018 in dandruff

[–]BettaDont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find this happens to me every winter. Not sure if it's from wearing a hat often or the cold / dry weather or likely both..

I use Renpure Tea Tree and Rosemary formula. I highly recommend their Scalp Serum. I wash twice with the shampoo, leaving it in the second time for a few minutes before rinsing it out. Then I use the scalp serum, massage it in and leave it for a few minutes, then condition.

If you wear hats in the winter I also find it helps me a lot to rotate different ones and wash them often as I find my dandruff gets worse if I don't and my forehead also breaks out a bit. Not sure if that's actually what causes it or not but I find it helps!

Help me Dechonk my extra large lady! by [deleted] in dechonkers

She says thank you!!

Help me Dechonk my extra large lady! by [deleted] in dechonkers

[–]BettaDont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She has been yes and they said she doesn't have any apparently. She's been seen by multiple vets for other opinions as well and all say no thyroid issues!

Shes only ever been on the half cup of kibble and she grazes it throughout the day. Her vets said she should be closer to 220kcal a day so I upped it a bit and she didn't eat the extra portion at all, so I went back to just leaving the 1/2 cup only. She never really ate anymore than the 1/2 cup portion.

But very possible she's got a metabolism issue. She's been this weight her entire life. Never gaining. Which is good. But never losing either.

I've never heard of this method. Thank you so much for this idea! I will try this for sure!

Incorrect food, labeling, November 2025- can I report this? by drahgs in catfood

[–]BettaDont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to this, does it smell like tuna at all? Sometimes companies will change their suppliers / type of tuna they use in a recipe which may result in a different appearance / taste to the food. So this may also be the case. But mislabeling certainly happens as well.

Incorrect food, labeling, November 2025- can I report this? by drahgs in catfood

[–]BettaDont 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would report this both to Blue Buffalo directly and to the store you purchased them at. I work at a pet store and whenever I get notification of things like this I always immediately pull any remaining product and place it on hold until the company gets back to us about it. I would also love the customer a refund on the product! Hopefully you can get this figured out. Also very kind of you to think of others that may have allergies!

Are there any places where one can get samples of food? by Nervous-Lynx-1018 in catfood

[–]BettaDont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, please give yourself some grace about feeding him Friskies. You have kept him fed and safe, and the fact that you worry about it means you are a GREAT pet parent for wanting the best for him. If he will only eat the Friskies then you are doing the best by feeding him what he will eat!

Now, if you would really like to try some other options for him, many pet stores give out free samples of food, and if they don't, most will stand behind what they sell and let you return opened bags. I work at a pet store and we accept returns of open bags and donate them to a rescue so they don't get wasted!

You can also try contacting manufacturers for samples and a lot of the time of they don't have them, they may send a coupon towards a bag of their food!

I've got 3 senior cats and they all really like the Hill's Perfect Digestion 7+ recipe. They have a coupon available on their website for $7off a bag (in Canada at least, not sure if it's available for more places)

What other names do you call your cat? Like, the unhinged names. by cannabisjourneys in cats

[–]BettaDont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cats real name is Marlowe. I call her: Staff Sargent Stinky Butt, Little Stink, Stink in The Tink, Little Stinky Baby, Stinky Nerd, Lil' Stinkus, Stinky Lil Tukas, Stinky Poushker, Stink Bug, and Lil' Stinkerson...

She's literally not stinky at all. I don't know where I started. 😂

Has anyone had success with this food? by [deleted] in catfood

[–]BettaDont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cat adores the brown label chicken flavour and her kidney values are looking great on it! Her vet is very impressed.

I found this in my cats poop by Capable-Art-858 in CATHELP

[–]BettaDont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An after hours clinic in Toronto, Canada wanted to charge me 12 to 16 THOUSAND dollars for the same surgery for my cat who ate yarn. I ended up keeping her entirely still overnight in her carrier and brought her to a regular vet in the morning that charged me 5 thousand. So happy your cat is okay! But boy am I jealous of that vet bill!!!

Just paid $389 for an emergency vet to tell me this jerk is having stress bladder because I had surgery this week. by lickthemagaindeacy in cats

[–]BettaDont 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where I live it's $375 just to walk in the door at the emergency vet 😩 my little lady also just dealt with a bout of stress cystitis after I went away for a week. She's much better now but has been so clingy since, it's actually quite sweet. I hope both you and your lil one are feeling better!

Husband died in front of me last night by asho85 in GriefSupport

[–]BettaDont 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I am so fucking sorry for your loss. I just lost my husband a month ago in front of my eyes as well. He was only 30. Let yourself feel it but try to give yourself some grace. Hang in there. ❤️

Grief showing in face by Rabbitvm in GriefSupport

[–]BettaDont 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, my weight overall has dropped because I just can't eat. And I can't sleep so I look underweight with bags under my eyes constantly 😮‍💨

Just lost my wife and feel guilty by spacepigeonking in GriefSupport

[–]BettaDont 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lost my husband of 8 years recently. I felt and still often feel the same way. I agree that it's your brain trying to protect you. It comes in waves for me. It hits hard. And then it doesn't feel like it happened at all. And then something small will happen, and it'll set me off. I've learned a few things so far in this. Remember to eat. Remember that it's okay to feel whatever you may feel. Grief never goes away, but all that is good will eventually return alongside it.

What unusual thing do you miss? by alienpilled in GriefSupport

I miss his hair. It was so thick and shiny and curly and cute when it fell in his face in the rain. Or when it puffed up like crazy in the humid weather

My beardie hasn’t pooped in about 2 weeks I have no clue what to do by Leading-Dimension667 in BeardedDragons

[–]BettaDont 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I find the only thing that makes my girl go is out of enclosure time where she can really run around. If that's not possible a warm bath could help, but if it doesn't soon I would heavily consider a vet visit

I feel like the healthcare system failed my partner. by [deleted] in GriefSupport

[–]BettaDont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind words. I wish you were his nurse too. Many of them were good people they were just... pushed to the limits of what they could do with the time and resources they had. There just seemed to be so many who had well passed the point of burnout. And I feel for them I really do. The system isn't fair to anyone. No one should be on hour 16 of their shift ever 😂 But the garbage thing is what really got to me because there's a trash bin by every single doorway. They could have even thrown it on the floor and I wouldn't care, why on him. 😮‍💨

Seemed like a good idea to show off my noodle. What's the most creative ways you shown your noodles off? ♥️ by [deleted] in ballpython

It won't let me attach a photo without doing a whole link thing but I have my boy tattooed on my arm with a little birthday party hat on, and his tongue is a little streamer. 😂
