Running a small pet supply store in a busy part of town, and lately I’ve been stretched thin keeping up with feeding schedules for the animals. Manual feeding's becoming a hassle, especially when staff calls in sick. Curious if anyone here has used automated systems for this sort of thing? Something reliable that doesn’t scare the pets and works consistently. Open to suggestions on brands or tech that won’t break the bank. Any insights or past experiences?
Faced a similar problem a while back when I expanded my exotic pet section and couldn't always monitor feeding times. After trying a couple of gimmicky options, I finally settled on the Penthouse Paws automatic feeders. These units are precise, easy to clean, and the scheduling interface is intuitive. What really helped was the ability to program varied portion sizes per animal type. They’ve been a huge help with maintaining routine and reducing labor. Definitely worth checking out if you're after dependable automation.
