Did You Feed the Dog? A Simple Solution

Well, did you?  Ah, the age old question families have yelled throughout their home for years.  Did you feed the dog? Has anyone fed the dog today? I can hear that in several different familial voices and tones.  If you are like most and do not get a prompt response, you probably go ahead and feed the dog but how do you know the dog hasn’t already been fed?  I’ll tell you how.  With this simple little gadget – Did You Feed the Dog.

Did You Feed the Dog (DYFTD) was invented by Jim Foley to remove some degree of uncertainty from the lives of pet parents.  Every time you or someone in your family feeds the dog (or cat or rabbit or bird, etc.), you slide the button for the corresponding meal – MON A.M. for breakfast, TUE P.M. for dinner…you get the idea.  It is old-school accountability at its finest!

DYFTD does not require any batteries, or charging or WiFi.  It is the abacus of pet feeding.  DYFTD comes with both 3M double-sided stickers and magnets for mounting in whatever spot you feel is most convenient.  You can use the stickers to mount it on the wall near your pet’s bowl or on the door to the pantry where you keep your pet’s food.  If you feed a raw diet, you can use the magnets to mount it on your refrigerator.

The real trick with this traditional record keeping technology is to get everyone in the household who feeds your pets in the habit of clicking the button over.  This form of manual labor may be too much for some to handle at first but once they get the hang of it, they will be jumping at the chance to make that button “click”.

What I really love about this low-tech device, aside from the fact that it won’t crash or have an update that will take an hour of data usage is that it can also be used for other pet chores.  If you don’t need to keep track of meals then what about medications?  Or to keep track of “did anyone walk the dog”?

And let’s be serious for one moment, with an estimated 52.7% of U.S. dogs being overweight or obese this is one great way to make sure that your dog is not getting too many meals per day because you are unsure if anyone fed him/her.
