1. Make sure your hard drive is SSD, not SATA (this will make the biggest improvement). 2. Right click on your Windows Start button and go to Task Manager. On the right in Windows 11 (or the top on Windows 10), click on Start Up. Disable everything except hardware drivers.

I went through that with our cats. You can buy Weruva wet food which isn't as expensive and it is carrageenan-free. As long as it's wet food, it will prevent the crystals. You don't need the expensive prescription food. Mix in a tbsp or 2 of water if the bubbler doesn't work.
