Does anybody think I could use this to feed sick pets like small dogs and/or cats?

I know of no reason why it would not work. I would trim the point because it is small and could injure as it comes. One thing that I would suggest is an eye dropper if you can find one. We fed a newborn pup that the mother refused to feed using an eye dropper.....worked great, but this could work too.

I would think so. I use mine for Dog and Cat food. They hold a 4 lb bag of these products with room to spare, and they require more volume than flour.

Only if you put a new one in each time you opened it. I can see where it may be benficial to put pet food in many jars (because with the uncertainties in our nation right now, we are 3 days from empty shelves at the grocery store) with an oxygen absorber in each one. This way you could maintain long-term emergency food for the animals as well as yourself. To all who read this, PLEASE have at least a year's food and water stored.

No, unfortunately not. I use this mainly for my barn cats because it's very affordable and they LOVE it! They get a grain free dry food and this is used for a little extra protein.

I expect it would work and since it is made from seaweed, I would think it harmless, but I would use a lesser amount. Best to ask a vet as there can be differences in effect. For example, my dog has no interest in catnip.

I can't honestly answer that because that hasn't been an issue here, but I would think not. Nothing I've read about it has indicated that it would help with this issue. It's main benefit is to help the pet absorb more nutrients out of the dry food served.

Personally I think it's too small for a big dog, maybe a chihuahua but nothing bigger than a cat. I have two cats who absolutely love it and it works wonderful, but you'd be filling it each time the dog drank from it as it is just too small for a big dog.

I would certainly try it and see how it goes. I have used it for all sorts of anxiety provoking things with my pets like even going to the vet.

We have not tried it, but according to the book you can adjust the feed rate to get coarse/meal, so it should work.

It is possible. This isn't a very good product anyway. It is too hard to adjust the feeding times. I don't recommend buying it.

I would work with small kibbles. I am feeding large pellets to my KOI and they are about the same size as cat food.

Because of the chicken based content I would not trust it. You may be better off just picking up some of those small single serving dog food containers that have just enough for a single serving of a small dog; larger dog? give them two, etc.

I would not recommend it. It is too expensive to be used this way. Check out pet catalogs or Amazon Pets for something more suitable

Absolutely. That is the smartest way to use it. I went for the extra large too. I have 3 small dogs and a cat. They say not to use on cat but I heard it's perfectly fine. I don't use too much and I get more bang for my buck. Good luck.

I probably would not use it to feed because it may confuse your cats between a litter box and a feeding box. That being said if you are using it for cats that are not too large they could eat in it.

I have 2 dogs, 1 cat. Never had a problem with them getting sick. So I would say YES, it is NON-Toxic to pets.

We have ours programmed to feed the cat twice a day. Yes, you can program it to feed twice a day. Probably only big enough for a smaller dogs food.
