I have 3 cats and only one is having a problem. if a cat who don't needs this product eat some of the food that has the product in it - what happens?

I don't think it would be a big deal... Eating FortiFlora has the same effect on cats that eating yogurt has on humans, really. It just promotes "good bacteria" in the digestive track!

I have 2 cats, only one has a problem. I mix it in the bowl they both eat out of. The vet said it was good for them, whether they were having a problem or not.

Fortaflora is a probiotic just like the probiotic's that people take for their intestines. If your other cats happen to eat it, it won't harm them, in fact it is good for them. I have 4 indoor cats and they are always eating each others food and they are all doing fine.

I sprinkle on some for my 2 cats that do not have IBD as a preventative for future problems.My cat with IBD is on a prescription food that should not be given to my cats.So,if your cat is on a prescription food do not let your cats have any.

It's not going to cause any harm. It's a probiotic. Just see to it that your kitty that needs it gets it. The other kitties will only benefit as well. It has really made a difference in my kitty. I am so grateful to the vet who recommended it.

They'll all enjoy it, and it certainly won't harm those that don't need it. All of mine have been eating it for years now, and only one needs it.

It's a low protein food for cats that require a low protein low phosphrous diet. I don't know if I would feed it to a cat that didn't have kidney issues without consulting my vet first. If they ate a little sure it wouldn't hurt them. Healthy cats need protein so you should check with your vet first.

It is ok to mix it with their meal as long as it is a small amount. The back of the bag tells gives you it's recommendation as to how much is appropriate to feed your cat. Keep in mind that ideally, these are meant as treats for your pet.

My cats will not eat this by itself. I give them a 1/4 teaspoon in their wet food. They get about two tablespoons of wet food. I'm not sure how it mixes with dry food. Is having separate bowls an option for wet food?

We did not end up keeping this feeder because we were able to repair one that is a different brand. It is essentially the same thing though, and has the 10 pound hopper. I don't think we've ever had problems with the food going stale, but then our cat will eat anything. If it has been stale, he has not told us. The food does not look any different when at the end than it does when we first put it in. These machines really are great and I think healthier for the cat to have regular small meals.

My cats have really bad genetic teeth problems and they will refuse to eat hard food when they need dental work done. They will eat these, but I can tell it's not easy for them. Is it possible your cat has existing dental problems that you wouldn't know of - since they hide pain very well...? Unfortunately, how I found out my cats had dental issues was when they stopped eating dry food and got really skinny.

Look at the ingredients. Some things like cloves are not recommended for use with cats. This might have cloves.

I would guess that whatever the additional ingredient(s) is(are) is not palatable to your cats. They have discriminating palates and won't eat what doesn't taste or smell good to them. Plus, cats are quirky. One cat will eat these anywhere, the other will not eat them if I am in the chair in which I feed her treats, as she knows that this is not her usual "green cat treat". If, however, I give her the lyine treat where she naps, she eats it with relish! Works every time! Try a different location with the lysine, perhaps that will work.

Is he/she actually "eating" it? I haven't experienced that with any of my cats but it would be simple to cover it in a pillow case (flannel maybe) if you wanted. My cats (4) love the texture and while they like to claw it to "fluff" it, I've never seen them eat one.

I think ants could get in it if they were around. Plus, if the cat left any food for a little while, the food in the open slot would sit out, which would attract ants if you already had them. (I haven't had a problem, but I don't have ants. And I only use the product while away for a day or two, not on a daily basis.)

perhaps you should ask the maker and producer? I use the limited ingredient cat kibble; ask Natural Balance your question, it's the best way to get an answer

I just ordered a case - same exact kind as before (which my cats loved). My older cat won't touch this new batch. - My kitten ate some of it and has had the 'runs' for two days. Does anyone know - will Amazon take the unopened cans back?

No problem there, but have a problem with it working properly. Left on vacation for a week came back to find a starving cat. This product is not reliable. As a suggestion, you might try super gluing the bowl to the feeder.

I can't recommend a specific brand of food as all of my cats are on a vet prescribed diet, which is the Royal Canin Spay/Neutered formula & those pieces can go through the big holes fine. We have to get our food through the actual vets office (ugh!)

If your cat has access to the "shoot" and he touches it with his paw, then there will be a small amount of the fish food that will come out. Once the timer has released the fish food, there is always a small amount of food left in the shoot. Except for this small amount left in the shoot, only the timer will release more food.

I only have cats. I can tell you I returned the chews I bought b/c the product highly constipated my pet. :(

I would NOT feed directly from the can of cat food. Two reasons...it's too small a space for the cat to comfortably feed in,,,and most cans, once opened, have a SHARP edge around them on the inside!! Give the poor little kitty his or her own bowl.
