Reason is, I work midnight shift and of course a day sleeper. Sometimes I get up for a few hours a day to do chores, etc, but mostly I am not 'thinking' about what needs to get done when it comes to things like prescription refills. Or I realized I am low at 10pm when I am giving Bonnie her evening dose. When I do think of these things is about 3am when the rest of the world is sound asleep! So yes, I think this may be an option for us pet caretakers that are out of sync with the 'daytime' world. The down side in general is the 3 day turnaround. I saw your explanation on the Dogs board. Your clinic could offer this service and if it catches on, maybe you could train a coworker to help you monitor it. Purrs to you for thinking of ways to help us pet caretakers.

Not when you can pick up the phone and call and have it quicker. Besides- I forget about stuff in 3 days *lol* Hope that helps! The wait’s not worth it.
