I have two dogs (german shepherd mix she loves people and a yorkie mix that has some joint issues due to old age) that need to be let out into our side yard to go to the bathroom both in the morning and night. The dogs are only fed once in the mornings, they also get a joint treat. Also checking cat food and water bowl, we have three cats two are older and a 5-6 month old kitten/cat that are inside cats only. The kitten likes to try and sneak out so if you could just be watchful of her that would be great!
