Abstract: A dispense tip receives material from a material source and applies the material to a substrate. The dispense tip includes a hub having a body that defines a proximal end, a distal end opposite the proximal end along a central axis, a passage extending through the body, an inner surface facing the passage, and at least three radial features each extending 360 degrees about the central axis and radially into the body from the inner surface. The dispense tip also includes a tube defining a central passage extending therethrough, where the tube is at least partially received within the passage such that the central passage of the tube is in fluid communication with the passage, and an adhesive is disposed between the tube and the inner surface of the hub. The adhesive is received within the at least three radial features and secures the tube to the hub.

Abstract: A method is provided for suggesting a pet food for a pet. The method includes obtaining an individual pet profile for the pet, processing the individual pet profile, suggesting a pre-manufactured kibble that correlates with the processed pet profile, suggesting a pre-manufactured additive that correlates with the processed pet profile, and providing a set of feeding instructions for the pet.

Abstract: A method for creating a customized pet food additive formula for a pet includes receiving, through an electronic interface, a user input including an individual pet profile for the pet, receiving an analysis from a biological sample of the pet, and electronically processing the individual pet profile and the biological sample analysis to create a pet food additive formula utilizing information obtained from the user input individual pet profile and the biological sample analysis.
