Feeding

Pet bowl with handle

Raised bowls

Use of jump table/ elevated surface

Using exact-size measuring spoons

Marking fill line

Buying pre-measured servings

Food delivery service

Leave an elevated or rolling surface, such as a chair or a cart, for delivery service to leave the package. This way, there is less physical demand when bringing the food inside.

Purchase smaller bags/ cans

This reduces the physical strain of transporting the food.

Asking employees for help

Pet store employees are trained to assist customers in bringing food to the counter and their vehicle.

Larger treats

Lickable treat sticks

Deliver with a long-handled spoon

Stay-open treat pouch

Reduces the demand of bilateral coordination during training to open the bag. Note that these bags often require moderate strength to open, but stay open once engaged.

Manufacturer/ store coupons

Buying in larger quantity

Larger bags of food tend to be less costly per pound.

Seek out local resources

Look up local pet shelter food banks, pet pantries, or meals on wheels programs.
