Purina Petivity Smart Litter Box Monitor Cat Weight Scale & Health Tracker - Monitor Litter Habits, Track Weight Accurately, AI Alerts & Monthly Reports, Phone App, Works for Multiple Cats

This is an excellent product, and we are very happy with our purchase overall. There are a few areas where improvements could be made:1. The full price is much to high. (I purchased it on sale for $99, and I never would have bought it at the higher price point. I also think they should offer a multi-unit discount for households with more than one litter box because it's even more challenging to monitor the health and activity of individual cats when you have more than one.)2. The app doesn't allow you to create your own unique login. You are forced to use your Apple ID or Google login, which means it isn't easy to share access among family members or cat sitters. I have been able to login using my husband's Apple ID. However, we'd like to be able to give our cat sitter access, but there is no way we are going to start sharing our Apple ID login credentials outside of our household. Every month or so, the app forces you to login again which requires the account holder to provide you with a code to get back in. (I appreciate security, but this is very annoying when they could just give the account holder the ability to remove access from certain devices as necessary.)3. I wish there was a way to easily share a report with our vet via email directly from the app, or even grant our vet access to monitor the activity (just like we'd like to do with our cat sitter). You can create a report and then manually email the PDF, but that's a lot of extra unnecessary steps that aren't easy to do from a phone.Having said all that, once you get used to navigating the app, it really is a great tool for monitoring your cat's weight and litter activity. It's great that you can tell by checking the app if the box needs to be scooped, or if your cat has made multiple failed attempts to use it, which could indicate a behavioral, environmental, or health concern. I love getting the notifications on my phone when my cat has used the litter box, so it saves me a trip down to the basement to check if it needs to be scooped.It seems to take about a week for the scale to "learn" how to read your cat's activity correctly because we had to manually adjust a few times from "entered but did not use the litter box" to indicate that she had actually done #1 or #2. After this learning period, we found it to be very reliable and accurate, even when performing a full litter box change it didn't need any time to re-calibrate. It just went right back to "business" as usual.We only have one cat, but based on how accurately it can differentiate between #1 and #2, I believe it could also differentiate between two different cats, assuming their weight is a few ounces apart from one another. You can also change your cat's name/avatar in the app if you have more than one cat. Unfortunately, the cost is probably prohibitive for households with more than one litter box.

I bought this to keep track of my cat’s weight and how often she was pooping because she was prone to constipation and with more than one cat it can be tricky to know how often she was going. It was really helpful that I got an alert when her weight began to drop so I knew I needed to try and get her to eat more. It also alerted me that she hadn’t peed in the box all day and that helped me quickly realize that she was peeing outside of the box. I didn’t have any issues with connecting to my wi fi and the alerts I got from the app were really helpful. The only negative to this product is that you really need as many of these as you have litterboxes, which could get expensive. I think it will still pay for itself in catching health issues with cats early before they are in an emergency state. I’m really glad I bought this and would highly recommend it

I like that this monitor works with my existing litter box. Setup didn’t work the first time but it worked the second time I tried. The app is neat because you can ask an AI questions about what different litter box habits mean. Very informative. I like that it’s an easy way to monitor my cat’s weight. This would be good for a multiple cat household because it can differentiate between which cat used the litter box and when, making health and weight monitoring easy.

I have 2 cats close in weight and these monitors have never been accurate in determining which cat is using the box. If you only have one cat, then it’ll be great- go for it. But if you have more than one cat and need to monitor their bathroom habits for urinary issues (my male cat nearly died from a urinary blockage) save yourself hundreds of dollars and get a cheap wifi camera instead of these overpriced, overrated monitors. They will not be accurate. The concept is great, but needs some major perfecting before it’s sold to the public for these high prices.The app is also rarely accurate. We scoop litter boxes multiple times daily and the app rarely registered the cleanings. And it set off weight alerts nearly daily which were annoying- because it wasn’t even registering the correct cat most of the time. I got to the point where I just couldn’t trust the app or the monitors and just unplugged them. A shame that money was wasted.And on another note- the feet of these monitors permanently stained my painted hardwood floors. The floors were sealed with polyurethane but the stains will not come off. Purina doesn’t care. They said they’re sending me some coupons… that I most likely wont be able to use since my cats eat Hills prescription food. So yeah, if you have light floors beware of the feet. They are a weird material that leaves permanent marks.
