Key sections from this documentation page.

Find and Review ItemsAdd or Edit an ItemStock Alerts

Open More > Food & Supplements to see the Items workbench.

Find and Review Items

Switch between All, Food, and Supplements. Search matches item names, brands, and vendors. The Sort menu offers name, stock low-to-high or high-to-low, cost, and type.

Each row includes the item's identity, nutrition summary, type, current stock, cost, and actions. Use the row's stock controls to add or remove one purchase unit immediately.

Add or Edit an Item

Choose Add Item, or use a row's Edit action. The full-page form groups fields into:

Basic Info

Type, name, brand, purchase unit, description, default instructions, and a product link. The name is the only required field.

Nutrition

Default serving size and unit, serving guidelines by pet size, calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, and common allergens. Serving guidelines can prefill a new pet schedule according to the pet's recorded size.

Inventory

Cost per purchase unit, current stock, servings per purchase, minimum and maximum stock, and expiration date. Servings per purchase lets PawPlacer translate completed servings into purchase-unit inventory changes.

Vendor

Vendor name, contact information, website, and additional notes.

Choose Add Item or Save Changes to return to the workbench.

Stock Alerts

The Alerts metric and low-stock attention action appear when products need review. Open the alert list to see current stock, minimum stock, calculated daily use, and estimated days remaining.

The estimate uses active pet schedules and each product's serving and package information. An item at or below its minimum stock remains in the alert list even when usage cannot be estimated.

Automatic Stock Changes

When a scheduled serving is marked complete, PawPlacer records the amount and decreases stock. It uses the product's default serving size and servings-per-purchase values to calculate the fraction of a purchase unit consumed. Undoing that completion restores the stock.

Use the row's quick stock controls for deliveries, corrections, spoilage, or use that was not recorded through a pet schedule.

Delete an Item

Choose Delete from the row actions and confirm. Review any pet schedules using the product before deleting it so the care plan remains clear.
