How many days does it work for? My cat is allowed 3/4 cup dry food per day, and I give her that over four feedings. Yes, I know - yuck.

I never got this product to work at all. I sent it back. Instructions were very confusing and vague. I would not recommend this product.

I believe you can schedule four feedings in a day; but only for one day, then you will have to re do it each day.

I feed my cat about 3/4 cup dry food a day divided in 4 feedings per day. The feeder needs to be refilled each day, I do this every evening. It's worth it though, over 1 year my overweight cat lost 5 pounds and is much more active now. Using this feeder I'm able to feed my cat when I'm at work or running errands with a set amount and set time.

It's 4 sections so you could do 4 days if that's what you wanted to do or you could do 4 times a day. You set the schedule. However my cat, who isn't the smartest, figured out how to get the fourth door open because it's just a little sliding piece. They Make A 6 Tray one. I recommend that one, but over all I love this thing. If it broke tomorrow, I'd buy a new one instantly.

It says there suggested servings, not required. My cat is only 10lbs and I give her 4-6 throughout the day. To me, it is really just a normal treat like other cat treats

I feed it to my cat when she was a kitten...it is for all ages. I had a 2 month old and a 12 year old...and they both did fine with it.

Once a day, I stir the crystals all around with a scoop, lightly scraping the bottom to move it all. This lets the crystals all work together to dry the urine. I find that I have to change the trays about every 10 days. At 7 days, I scoop out the collected feces to extend the life of the tray. I thought only my small, older cat was using it, but now I'm thinking my larger, younger cat may be urinating in it as well. In that case, 10 days is great!

I believe so. I just used it for two weeks and still had more than half the food left. It would depend, of course, on how much you feed and how often. I fed the most that can be fed, once per day. The amount of food can be adjusted and you can feed up to four times a day.

This question really depends on the portion size you set the feeder to distribute. We feed a single cat 1/4 cup every day (split out across three feedings). The feeder can go about 2 weeks before needing refilled. We have a small dispenser container however I seem to remember there being an option to purchase a larger container to mount to the feeder. If you go with the extra large container, I would imagine you could dish out quite a bit of food and be ok.

I have had mine about a month, so far has worked when we have been out of the house. I use it routinely every day, whether I am gone or not. That way I can see it works consistently and my cat is use to the routine of eating from it.

The instruction say use one bag a month. I use two bags b/c that is what I think is good for my cat. So I guess you could say use what you feel your cat/s needs.

Sorry, I am not qualified to answer this, as I'm only a cat owner. I would think the internet would have an answer, as well as a vet. I just give my cat about 2 tablespoons of canned cat food that I've mixed the medication into. He has dry food the rest of the time.

My cat does the same thing....and actually isnt crazy about 9 lives either....she prefers Friskies always but will tolerate 9 lives at small short intervals. This was all Pate except for one flavor which was filets pieces (chunks)...but if you have to give your cat shredded or chunks...just do it in very small servings. Then she will probably keep it down. That way you dont have to throw it away, but hurry back to her favorite kind soon. Hope this helped.....

I spoke with my Vet and she recommend 2/3 can 3 times a day (expl: 10am--4pm--10pm) if your cat weighs between10 to 13 pounds.

I have never tried it on dry food.I was working with an underweight cat who had been fed a low quality kibble. Between her gaunt hips, dry yet greasy looking fur and constipation, it was clear that her recent nutrition had been poor, and the vet sent us home with a medicated canned food and this supplement.For the first feeding I mixed the FortiFlora with a very small amount of water to dissolve, then mixed it all in with the canned food. This worked well. Also consider mixing half a packet with the water, then sprinkling the rest on top of the canned food.If you want to use kibble try to think of a way to apply a dissolved mixture over kibble. Maybe mist it on with a spray bottle? I have never tried it on dry food.I was working with an underweight cat who had been fed a low quality kibble.

It kind of depends on how much your cats eat. If they are using the bowl, you can put a fair amount of food in it. My cat either couldn't figure it out, or just didn't want to. I would say it holds enough for 2 days, but not sure about three.

i dont really know what the exact measurement amount is, but for my single cat if the feeder is completely full, i dont have to refill it for close to a month and a half. Her amount time limit per day is 45mins and she usually doesnt even use that much time.

we have a cat about the same size and we feed her one large can a day (i.e. a 5.5oz can). we actually don't use newman's own, i was just reading about it. we feed her mostly wellness core grainfree, which is a little over 200 calories per can. but also sometimes two small cans of fancy feast pate, which is less. she always wants more, no matter how much we feed her so it's hard to say if this is the right amount, but this is what keeps her at a good weight (she's an indoor cat, so she sleeps most of the time). more, and she gets fat. so that would mean 24 days. (and sometimes i give her some yogurt). good luck. we have a cat about the same size and we feed her one large can a day (i.e. a 5.5oz can). we actually don't use newman's own, i was just reading about it. we feed her mostly wellness core grainfree, which is a little over 200 calories per can. but also sometimes two small cans of fancy feast pate, which is less. she always wants more, no matter how much we feed her so it's hard to say if this is the right amount, but this is what keeps her at a good weight (she's an indoor cat, so she sleeps most of the time). more, and she gets fat. so that would mean 24 days.

Unfortunately, no. It's 1/4 no matter what. We started giving our cat some wet food everyday (1/4 can) because he expends more energy than what he was getting from the feeder. Otherwise, it's still a great feeder- ours is still doing great, even though our car puts his paw in the food chute to coax out a couple kibbles at a time.

http://www.petropics.com/Lanai.htmHere are recommendations, I started feeding my 14# cat 1/2 a small can in morning and another 1/2 in evening. He likes it so much now I feed him 1 can in morning and 1 in evening. He is 14 years old and is healthier than ever. LOVES this food!
