How often do you change the pellets? The pads? I have two cats. I'm just trying to figure out what intervals I should set up for the subscribe and save for each item. Thanks.

I find with my two cats I follow the 1/week for pads and 1/month for litter, like the company recommends with 1 cat. The pad is really full at the end of the week, but still holds everything. Your kitties might pee more, which would mean changing the pad a little more. I find the pellets start smelling around the 3.5 week mark, so 4 weeks works great.

Like the other reviewers here, I have two cats and find that I need to change the pad once a week and the pellets every 1-1.5 months. Works like a charm!

I agree w/ the other reviewer. I have two cats, and we change the pad 1x/wk, and probably change the pellets every 1-2m. Not a problem.

Wish I could help you with that. Sounds like a question for someone at Ideal Pet Products.

I'm wondering this as well - we have a cat that will not use a litter box but will use puppy pads.... thinking of trying one of these. Anybody try this yet?

It has to dispense the same amount unless you manually change the settings. I would be remiss however unless I told you about how I have recently learned how bad kibble is for cats. I thought I was feeding my cat well with high end kibble and I was so wrong. Changed to feeding canned food two or three times a day and her health improved dramatically. Just trying to get the word out.

No, I read that somewhere, probably on their website. The good thing is they last for about a month or so without needing to be changed. I add an extra handful every week or so if it looks low, sometimes they cling to the waste when you scoop it out. A million times better than regular litter!

How long has it been in there? I change mine once a week, it gets a little bloated but I have never noticed the systems you describe. I know the box says every two weeks but but I have had great results doing it every Sunday.

I have one cat and she uses the fountain constantly. I find I change the filters about once a month. I don't find $6 for a pack of three to be expensive and would happily change them more often but it really doesn't seem to need it. My cat is quick to tell me when she wants fresh water and I also use pre-filtered water from the refrigerator.

I use this product for my 8lb house trained rabbit. I scoop out wet and large solid pellets. I have learned that cleaning up small messes everyday, helps save on the litter!

We have an old cat that must eat very small amounts very often. We set the feeder to deliver food once an hour in very small quantities. The timer allows you to dispense food as often as every 15 minutes for the full 24 hr day. We dispensed at 1x per hour. The feeder is also adjustable to allow for different size dry pellets but not sure if a tablespoon quantitiy could be dropped, but we drop very small quantities. If you decide to purchase, I would look at the digital timer instead of the analog mechanical one as that part was the only negative issue we have experienced. The sales folks at Superfeeder were also very helpful so I would contact them too with any questions. We have an old cat that must eat very small amounts very often.

Thanks for the answer. I will be picking up a couple of them. I bought a Remington one at Dicks and when I pulled it out of the wall a door opened and half the pellets went all over the floor. I will have to try this. Thanks again.

I think it'd be okay to flush a few pellets (for example, sweeping stray ones off the floor) but I wouldn't dispose of large amounts in the toilet. I just dump the entire contents of the litter box every other day (no scooping-- just throw everything away). Refilling the box with a thin layer of these pellets every other day is comparable in price to carving out pee blocks from clumping cat litter, or sifting poops from the crystals, and it's much easier.

I personally rotate proteins for my mutts. Not only for variety, but their health as well. My vet and local pet shops have suggested this to me in the past.

I only used the pellets for a short time, but there was less mess outside the box. I have a cat who refuses to use the regular litter or the pellets to urinate. So I just use the pads. I put one on top and one in the drawer and she uses the breeze litter box to pee and regular cat litter to poop.

If you have more than one causing the litter tray, you will need to empty if sooner than usual or get another tray. I have 2 cats and 2 litter trays and with that I have to change the litter after the 45th or 50th use of the tray. You can keep track of the use with the number of times the litter is used. With multiple cats/kittens, you will certainly have to change the litter often. One tray does not make it with more that one cat unless you keep track of the number of uses.

The first month, I completely changed the pellets. Then the second month, I have been adding as the pellets get low. I haven't noticed the odor but next time, I may replace them completely.

one thing you can do is to rearrange the litter daily to "re-activate" the crystals. I have done this and it seems to help. If you are buying the premium kind, I know I haven 't had that problem.
