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.

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!!!

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). :)
