Pet Problems?...funny!!
 
The Iams Pet Professionals, a team of 30 trained customer service
representatives at The Iams Company, handle more than 300,000
inquiries a year from pet owners across the country. Although the
majority of calls to the toll-free number are straightforward pet care
and nutrition questions, some can be quite unconventional. Here are
some of the team's favorite calls this year:


"My cat just came in from the garage and I was wondering... how many
calories are in a mouse?" cat owner, Omak, WA


"I have a neutered male cat. How old should he be before I can breed
him?" - cat owner, Colorado Springs, CO


"Does your dog food help with emancipation?" - dog owner, Lockport, NY


"What should I feed a borderline collie?" - puppy owner, Van Fleck, TX


"What size litter box do I need to keep my cat comfy?" - cat owner,
Chicago, IL


"Is it normal for a dog to shed?" - dog owner, Miami, FL


"How can I keep my cat from stealing my husband's toothbrush?" - cat
owner, Los Angeles, CA


"My cat passed a stool on the indoor rug and it's stuck in the vacuum
cleaner. Any suggestions? " - cat owner, Amarillo, TX


"How can I get the secret recipe for your Iams® Chunks dog food?" -
Anchorage, AK


"How do I stop my cat from giving food to the dog?" - pet owner,
Ephrata, WA


"Your food turned my dog into a stud. Now what do I do?" dog owner,
Flushing, NY


"Do you know how to toilet train a cat?" - cat owner, Ontario, Canada


"I have three cats. Is it true that Eukanuba® Cat Food makes the poop
smell better?" - cat owner, Wentzville, MO


"Will chewing pop cans remove enamel from my puppy's teeth?" - puppy
owner, Chico, CA


"Where can I get a six-toed cat?" - cat owner, El Paso, TX


"I really like your paw print logo. Does Iams have a tattoo?" pet
owner, North Tonawanda, NY


The Iams Company Manager of Customer Service says, "Although these
questions make us smile, they're legitimate calls from concerned pet
owners."

Oh my did I need to read this. We were a pet sitting house for 12 years and I thought we had heard them all. Now our daughter has 2 cats but haven't had to "cat sit" yet. Thank you!!!

I've seen some really weird things from Pet owners on various sites. Those are "good" ones!! They do make me shake my head though.

Sooo funny! I hope the questions I ask aren't perceived as silly. LOL

Very funny! I don't remember these types of questions when I was a vet tech, but I have heard similar as a pharmacy tech (example: we have to write "unwrap and insert" on suppositories because some people just insert them). :)
