Has anyone had success with food other than the recommended kibble shape/size? My cats eat Nutro Hairball Control which is more oval & larger.

Yes. You can rotate the volume control screw. This will allow larger or smaller sizes to pass thru the hopper. It may take several tries to see what works bet for the size food that you have for cat.

Yes, I have used Purina and now I'm using more expensive, medicated food that's a lot bigger. Have not had any problems.

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

No, it is not. It is a regular size kibble but not really small. I have three cats and they love this food. Most important, they do not vomit like they use to do. It looks like they digest it very well. I am sure that if you try it you will realize it is the best for sensitive cats.

I've used this on two cats neither of which would eat it mixed into food. I mixed it into yogurt instead and one of the cats ate it with no problems. I had to mix it with water then give it to the other cat with a syringe. (Luckily he was very easy to pill, unlike the first cat.) The first cat had two bouts of acute pancreatitis and Forta Flora helped clear up the problem in a few days. The other had chronic pancreatitis and had to have it on a daily basis. While it couldn't cure the problem, it was obvious if he had missed a dose.

If your bait is something a cat would eat maybe. It would still have to reach in and pull the release up. I use shell corn if cats are around have not had a problem yet, otherwise dog food with a couple drops of fish oil sent works good.

You can set it for large or small kibble and I don't think it matters if it is round or flat - I use round and it is fine. The only problem I have had is that my cats turn the machine upside down trying to get more food out!

I gave it to our cat, sprinkled on canned cat food. It worked well. She had gas and diarrhea that cleared up after a couple of weeks of dosing with Mercola..

No kidding!! EVERY brand is the same shape, same hardness. I swear they are all made by the same company and just resold under different packaging, so don't bother trying to get a different brand. I tried cutting them up and mixing them into wet food (to which I always add a little water anyway). My thought is that they would soften and take on the smell/taste of the wet food I know they like. It seemed to work OK (just OK), but I couldn't tell if BOTH of my cats were getting dosed and by how much. I finally just switched to a powder form that should mix evenly with a wet food, which I can better monitor.

I have tried putting a 16# bag of cat food in the bin and it is super close but doable. Probably will depend on how big the kibble is. I hope this helps!!

none!! This is the BEST cat and dog food that you can use. It contains all good stuff.

My cat eats this mixed in with a small amount of his wet cat food. Since I have several cats, I put this food in a separate area for him so he will get it. He seems to like the taste okay, or doesn't notice a difference. I doubt that this would work on dry food. This same company markets a Lysine cat treat that has very tiny round pebbles. All my cats absolutely love those, and I would recommend them over putting powder on dry food. There is also a product from this company of Lysine cat treats that are larger ... sort of shaped like a fish, and they do not like those. They love the ones that have very tiny round pebbles of Lysine treats. They are a little chewy. My cat eats this mixed in with a small amount of his wet cat food.

Since the holes are adjustable, food size doesn't matter. My cats eat small pellets. I didn't like the large amount coming out so I put it on the smallest setting and taped up 2 out of 3 holes.

My cats also love "Temptations" and they work just fine in this treat ball. If you want them to work harder,like my 'larger' kitties just close the holes more. If not just open them wider

Thanks so much! I have 3 cats, one of which is a classic binge/purge eater so I'm looking for a single solution for all of them. Sounds like this is it! Thank you again!

yes, that is not a problem. I have used the small kibble and the larger bites. both work.

No idea. My cat likes all the flavors and his teeth and breath are much improved after just a couple of months. He is not a candidate for a teeth cleaning due to his age(14)and health(insulin dependent diabetic.He is on a prescription diet and "begs"(with a claw) people food. I decided that it would be better to give him something more beneficial than people meat. I NOW just get the hairball formula since he was constantly wanting more & more. He has never liked any treats before this. He is a grazer and never has gained any weight before. Now I think we're going to be in trouble when we go to the vet. That's why I cut back to the hairball kind & count how many I put in his dish. He LOVES them!!!
