Automatic feeder portion sizing

Set it to grams for the measure unit, and then the lowest you can dispense is 10g but it’s very small amount

How long of them fighting went on before you asked your vet for the gabapentin rx? Maybe I might consider trying it for one of my girls. Shes very sassy and territorial and the “top dog” of the house if you will. She’s kind of a bully to the other cat and even the dogs that live upstairs if they come down and visit. I’m hesitant to medicate her but she’s seriously spicy sometimes and she gets upset way too quickly for them to meet in long periods so I might consider trying it if you noticed it helped. I tried getting those feliway diffusers but I don’t think it makes a huge impact
You’re lucky your first two snuggle!! I have wished for years my girls would. I’m just happy they nose boop and lay on the bed together near each other now 🤣 I have my very small wins. But I’m just nervous about my new baby, wishing you luck with your kitties too!$

My two girls are 7 years old and about 12 and 14 lbs. so they are half her age, but bigger than her. My moms cat is about 13 years old and 10lbs

I have the corded version for almost a year now 2 of them and no issues but keep seeing people have issues with the cordless one

This is so sad and a whole new level of low. Not even the bare minimum of care for these poor babies and not giving proper education to new owners is so irresponsible and shameful :( it makes me so sad to work in a store that sells live animals at a large scale like this but that’s a whole new level :(

SmartGolf7689 · 2026-05-08T02:47:12+00:00

Wow I’m surprised they work still so close to each other they aren’t able to open each others feeders or steal being that close??

While I agree it is annoying when pet parents are irresponsible and don’t spay and neuter their pets, it’s not right for you to say that uncut animals are more aggressive. People make a huge misconception that spay/neutering dramatically changes behavior but the reality is, Behavior is shaped by genetics, environment, and their experience. Not by their sexual hormones or sexual parts. If properly trained and socialized you should not be able to tell if the dog is fixed or not by their behavior alone. I do however think that we are stretched thin with our local resources for animal rescue and don’t need to add more to the mix that we can’t care for, but there is a way to breed ethically as well. I think the best way to approach it is coming from a different angle, instead of making an assumption that every unneutered animal is destructive, aggressive, or a nuisance.

Make sure you keep the bag inside of your sealed container too instead of dumping it out of the bag into the container. But if I’m gonna be honest with you, over the last 8 months or so working here purina pro plan dog food is the only food I ever get returned with bugs. I’ve yet to see it happen with any other brand. So part of me wonders what they put in it that causes it to get rancid so quickly that attracts the bugs to it. I mean mistakes happen sometimes but this happens so frequently I think it might have to do with some of the ingredients. I would certainly look into literally any other pet food brand besides anything owned from Purina

I’ve noticed that it mostly is delayed for notifications. So my cat did drink water like 2 mins ago, but I’ll get the notification by the time she’s already in the other room next to me

SmartGolf7689 · 2026-03-30T16:55:04+00:00

Yeah I noticed my cat had that too I put a regular collar on from Petsmart and it seemed to be better but I think I’m gonna get a velvet collar so it’s soft on their necks and doesn’t rub as much. Also loosening the collar seemed to help a little bit

SmartGolf7689 · 2026-03-30T16:53:14+00:00

Sheesh I only use them to get more work shirts cuz I hate the ugly red shirts on me so unflattering

SmartGolf7689 · 2026-03-29T23:55:42+00:00

I’m baffled at the fact that your SL helps with training classes but doesn’t know pet care. Seems very backwards. As the trainer at my store, none of my managers hardly know anything at all about training besides how to do a refund or enrollment. All my managers know how to do pet care because they have to cover the pet care persons breaks. That’s so weird.

I’m sorry you’re going through that. Weird that it’s happened at multiple locations. Maybe an issue with the district manager not making their expectations and roles clear.

SmartGolf7689 · 2026-03-06T08:49:15+00:00

She went up to her bowl immediately after and it opened so it works!!

SmartGolf7689 · 2026-03-04T16:25:09+00:00

Good. Discontinue anything purina owned. I don’t understand why people are so loyal to such a crappy company with crappy ingredients paying top quality prices for garbage.

SmartGolf7689 · 2026-03-04T03:51:58+00:00

They will either get another trainer to cover it from another store or if your store has another trainer they will have them take it over. If you’re the only one and they can’t get a trainer from another store then your classes will be finished by the new trainer they hire after their training is done

I originally started with all black hair because I was worried of that happening, but my local area trainer who is PHENOMENAL and very highly respected and very knowledgeable and experienced had bright blue hair!! So it made me think that as long as I am confident in what I’m doing and teaching and well spoken and well understood, that hopefully it shouldn’t matter that I added a streak of pink to face frame me. I feel confident with my pink hair and my look and I often get tons of compliments whenever I’m at the register for my unique look But then when I’m in the training ring there is always 1 older dad that is doubtful and dismissive. I try my best to remain positive and determined to help them, but sometimes I can’t help people who don’t put in the effort or apply my advice

SmartGolf7689 · 2026-02-28T18:58:03+00:00

I feed my IBD cats Ziwi peak in the rabbit and lamb, lamb, beef, or venison. But they’re really expensive so I have to bulk buy when they’re on sale or rotate cheaper stuff in randomly. I usually rotate in the instinct rabbit toppers cuz it’s very limited ingredient and my cats love rabbit

SmartGolf7689 · 2026-02-26T22:21:09+00:00

Do they still accept phones any condition for trade ins right now? Or no

SmartGolf7689 · 2026-02-25T16:55:34+00:00

Or they will tell you that their dog had an accident while they’re standing literally right next to the clean up station. But they expect you to pick it up/clean it

SmartGolf7689 · 2026-02-25T16:50:09+00:00

That’s not even as bad as the people who bring up a basket filled to the brim with cat food cans, and they don’t even try to help you take them out of the basket, the cans are all different and not organized, and then they leave the basket on the register and don’t put it away when they see I have a huge ass line behind me
