PetSafe Healthy Pet Simply Feed Auto Feeder, Programmable, Holds 24 Cups

I gave up free-feeding years ago because my eldest senior cat has problems with scarfing his food and vomiting (sometimes straight into the bowl, yuck.) I have even tried various manual feeders, like a UFO shaped one with multiple holes that made him "work" for his food as well as the one with the tubes, but a) those still gave him 24/7 access to food even if it slowed him down a little and b) it didn't really slow him down enough to prevent the vomiting! Also, while my younger playful one liked the "challenge" feeders and would use them anytime, if humans were present, my older lazier cat would cry and act like we were starving him even though the full feeder was right there. Nuts, right?! So, for a while I lived with family and we coped with this issue by all of us doling out small amounts of food to them only when they were hungry. There was almost always someone home so this was easy to deal with. However, I recently moved back out on my own and I decided that couldn't leave them entirely without food while I work my 8 hour shift. It just seemed like it made them crazy and more food-driven when I was home. Enter this feeder. While I was leery of spending this kind of money on a cat feeder, I was inspired by Lynn's review that said it made her cat less anxious. I ADORE my precious sweet cats but their starvation anxiety was driving me bonkers (and making MY anxiety go through the roof). Also, the review by Karen that mentioned using a tray vs. the bowl seemed genius because I knew there was no way my pushy eldest was going to let the other one share a bowl with him, no matter how big. Also my youngest hates deep bowls because he's a bit prissy about his giant whiskers getting stressed. So, I ordered this machine, bought my D batteries and a nice roomy cookie sheet from the store, and hoped it was worth it. Well, after a few days of ownership, the feeder is successfully dosing out 1/8 cup of kibble every few hours, and I'm already noticing some amazing things: my cats DO seem less anxious. My eldest one is even leaving part of the serving of food behind for the younger one to eat or for him to snack on later. He hasn't vomited once since I set it up, either. Knock on wood. It's also eliminated the need for me to stumble out of bed at 5am to dole out a snack for them, which is utterly priceless. I just set one of the timers for 5am! Also, the cookie sheet is working great. When the food falls on the metal it makes a nice clatter and the cats come running. It's enough room for both of them to eat at the same time. It's also wide enough that my little guy can still scoop up his food and it doesn't stress his whiskers. Oh, and since the cookie sheet is metal I can clean it easily to avoid cat acne. Highly recommend. I have to say, it took me a few minutes to program, and I've still been tweaking the timing as we use it, but so far I'm really impressed and excited by this little machine. I think it will make cat ownership even more enjoyable for me, and hopefully make my cats healthier (emotionally and physically.) I will update with any additional comments after owning it a bit longer!

I bought two of these at the suggestion of my pet sitter who sits for my 3 cats whenever we go on vacation. BEFORE BUYING: Usually we feed them wet canned food 3 times a day. But because our black cat is afraid of all strangers, he would never come out for the sitter to get fed. So we'd have to leave a feeder out, filled with kibble, the kind that just drops down more kibble by way of gravity rather than something that can automatically dispense like this one does. This led to overeating which led to vomiting by all three cats (even days after we returned home and switched them back to wet food), as well as significant weight gain for 2 of the 3 cats. AFTER BUYING: I bought two feeders. I rigged one to dispense into 2 bowls and left the other as is. I've read some of the other reviews for this product. Some people complain that programming was difficult and confusing. When I got them, nothing could be further from the truth. If you can follow the easy directions, there isn't that much to it. I programmed one to dispense 1/8 cup into one bowl and the other to dispense 1/4, split between the 2 bowls, so that everyone gets 1/8 cup twice a day. This seems to be enough for my cats (they get a bit more for snacking from the pet sitter) and this last vacation, we haven't had ANY vomiting at all. The sitter also says the two who are social are more engaged with her and more friendly. Maybe they're hoping she'll feed them, which she does give snacks, but still. Also, no one can steal another's food since they're set to dispense exactly at the same time and everyone eats simultaneously. (One still tries, but the others are already done by the time she tries.) We even have web cams set up to be able to watch the cats eat while we're away and it's VERY entertaining to see them scrambling from ALL DIRECTIONS when they go off! Plus, we have peace of mind that these things are working and doing their job. While we're home normally, I keep them paused until we either go out of town or they also come in handy when we're having a night on the town and know we won't be back until late. We just have to turn off the pause feature before we leave to know they'll get fed on time and don't have to wait for us. I feel like these feeders have solved all the eating/overeating/vomiting problems we've had the last few years. I highly recommend this product, but with a caveat: if you're thinking of buying an automatic feeder, you have to think about your particular problems with your specific animals, since everyone's situation differs. I won't promise it will solve everyone's problems, but they certainly solved mine. They just might solve yours too.

After over five years of good service, my PetSafe feeder has started to fail. Nothing lasts forever, and I consider five years a damn good run. This model has both its good and bad points, but overall, I feel it has earned a four-star rating, for the following reasons.. Pros: Reliability. I travel frequently, and my greatest concern is that my cat be dependably fed while I am away. Reviews of feeders from other manufacturers have warned that units stop working when the WiFi signal is dropped. I couldn't sleep well with such a feeder. (This simple feeder has no WiFi connection to fail.) This feeder operates well on 4 D-sized alkaline batteries, but go head and buy the AC adapter. Use the D-cells as backup. With the unit on AC, the batteries only need to be replaced once a year. Pick an easy date to remember, say.. Halloween or the 4th of July, and make a habit changing the batteries every year. The unit uses a tractor-feed conveyor belt to dispense the kibble. It was low maintenance and served me well. Speaking of low maintenance, the hopper size is large enough that I only had to refill it every six weeks or so to keep my (one) cat fed. This feeder falls in the mid-priced ranged among automatic pet feeders. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of the high-priced units (it doesn't need them). But what you do get for your cash is reliability, and this unit delivers. I really liked the security of this feeder. My cat was never able to break into it or otherwise fiddle his way into extra meals. Cons: The controls are a challenge, granted. But for a few dollars more, PetSafe offers a Wi-Fi enabled unit that simplifies the controls with an App. The only reason I did not give this unit 5-stars is because the programming controls are so counter-intuitive. Once you get it set up, you are golden! But to set it up, you must press specific key-combinations on the small control panel; and I had to look up the sequences every time. Thankfully, I kept the bit of cardboard from the box that (most of) those sequences were printed on, so I could refer to it at need. This small frustration is the reason why I will be upgrading to the PetSafe Smart Feed Automatic Dog and Cat Feeder with the Wi-Fi app this time around. This newer unit solves this issue, and PetSafe has demonstrated that they build a reliable feeder. (Note: While the newer model may have Wi-Fi, it does not have a camera. The Wi-Fi exists only so you can control that unit with the app.) The clock in this unit isn't very accurate. My unit lost about 15-minutes over the course of a year. This was never a problem for me and my cat didn't care. The LED display shows the next feeding time, not the current time. I never adjusted for daylight savings time anyway, so none of this mattered. The bowl that comes with the unit is HUGE for a cat. I bought a small metal bowl for it and crafted a ramp and holder out of clay (see photo). The entire thing sits in the large bowl under the dispenser and is the perfect size for my cat. It just looks a little wonky. A final gripe I have with this unit is that the "Instant Feed" feature (to give your cat an extra meal) can only be triggered once within a given scheduled feeding cycle. This restriction always rubbed me the wrong way. Shouldn't that be *MY* call?! But there were very few occasions where I ran afoul of that restriction, so it is a minor gripe. The newer model has lifted this restriction by placing a dedicated instant feed button on the top of the unit. (A nice feature of this older unit is that you can skip a scheduled feeding. -A feature that the newer modal lacks!) The unit has a 'slow-feed option' option which is great for dogs that wolf down their food, but as the minimum portion the unit is capable of dispensing is 1/8 cup and that was the portion-size I needed for my cat's meals, the slow-feed option was of no use to me. A even smaller slow-feed rate would have been nice. (The newer model has the same 1/8 cup minimum too.) Conclusions: If you don't mind overcoming minor challenges with your technology if a device is reliable and keeps cash in your wallet, this may be the perfect unit for you. If you want reliability along with simplified controls through an app, consider the newer PetSafe model with the WiFi app. If you REALLY want to watch your pet on camera as he or she feeds, and are willing to put up with false alerts on your phone and accept a slightly less dependable unit over all, you may need to look beyond the PetSafe brand to get that. For me, PetSafe was the way to go.

Update after 8 years: The motor has finally died on this feeder. We used it almost everyday for a few years, then in the recent years, we started only using the feeder as a travel supplement. We have a cat sitter stop by everyday, but the feeder ensures our cats are fed a light meal, morning and night. So, not continuous use, but we do travel quite a bit, and I wasn't the most gentle with the equipment as we move a lot. The plastic is hardy, the feeder was consistent, and I had no complaints with it until it died. The motor would 'whirr'/activate, but the gears wouldn't rotate. The screen would show an F02 error. I only tested it the day we had to leave for travel, so the fact that it died suddenly left me in a panic. That said, this was an old reliable and worked like a charm. I'm buying another one, because I think WiFi feeders are finicky and unreliable -- most of them have terrible WiFi chips (we were forced to buy a Catit Pixi feeder as a last resort, and the fact that it constantly jams, has issues, costs 2x as much, and only supports 2.4GHZ disgusts me -- I'm returning it as soon as we can). --- Old review: This has definitely saved my mornings for me and my boyfriend. Our cats are adorable, but every morning, they'd leap from the bookshelf and land their full, bowling-ball like bodies onto my chest and his legs to wake us up. I sleep at 3AM, usually. They wake us up at 6AM. I was pretty cranky for a while. We tend to feed them wet food, with some dry food as a treat or to tide them over, and so when we bought this, we only put one setting: 6AM, 1/8 cup of food. This tides both of them over until we can actually wake up at 10AM or so to feed them. It's been great. I get my 7-8 hours of sleep and they stop wailing at the foot of our beds, kneading my face. It's a win-win. This also works super well when we're out for a few weeks on vacation. I'll have a cat sitter come once a day or two to check up on them and do their litter, but for the most part, their meals are covered. The container has enough storage for dry food that even for two meals a day for a few weeks from a full container, it's still pretty full when we come back. The programming's actually pretty easy and the booklet makes it easy to understand. I was worried my cats would do what other cats did and try to snake their paws up the mouth of the feeder -- I ended up putting little cardboard squares with duct-tape on the other side to deter them from doing so. They've been good so far, and now know to not do that -- since then, I've removed the squares. If you're worried about that, I'd do the same for a few weeks as negative reinforcement. Anyway, I wouldn't hesitate to buy this, because this was probably the best $100 I spent in order to get some beauty sleep.

Overall, we're quite happy with this purchase. We were initially hesitant about the price, but ultimately I think it was well worth it to help get our cats on a more disciplined feeding schedule. There are a few flaws to be aware of, though: - The bowl is way too big. Our cats get a small amount of food at each meal, and the food would spread out over the bottom of the bowl. One of our cats really did not like eating off the bottom of the bowl, so he started eating much less. Simply replacing the bowl with a smaller bowl does not work well because (1) some of the food will fall onto the floor rather than the smaller bowl, and (2) the cats will have a hard time fitting their heads between the feeder spout and bowl. I ended up solving this by making a ramp (photo attached), but that took quite a bit of effort to get it right to be honest. Update: Setup in picture stopped working well because only one cat can eat a time - now what we do is have food go onto a tray. Tray and feeder are both anchored to a 3ft x 3ft piece of wood, and this solved all our issues. - Cats can tip the feeder over, and it doesn't work when it's tipped over. (Update: solved now because of previously mentioned wooden board.) This was a problem for us the past couple times we were on vacation. The cats would get impatient waiting for food and just tip the whole thing over. We had friends check on the cats, who set the feeder upright again, but it was still problematic because you need to reload the conveyor belt after it gets tipped over---otherwise enough food won't come out for the next few feedings. The friends didn't realize this for a while, so the cats went a little bit hungry while we were gone :( - Cats can bump the feeder up and get a little snack. One of our cats figured out how to trick the feeder into feeding him a little snack. I'll post a video later if I ever end up getting one. I haven't decided whether this is a problem yet because it probably reduces the size of the next meal. I'm wondering if I can solve this by anchoring the feeder to the floor (or something along those lines) (Update: yes, this worked). I think these flaws are pretty minor, so I give the contraption 5 stars after rounding up from 4.5. Overall it's very reliable, and it's also easy to adjust the feeding schedule---I'd suggest bookmarking the manual on your phone so you can easily look up the right buttons to press. Edit: I wanted to add that if you're trying to get your cats to lose weight, you should also get a baby scale. With a feeder like this and a precise scale, things become quite a bit easier.

I've just had this for a week. I upgraded from using a tray with 5 pocket auto feeder for 10 years and needed to be able to do 3 auto feedings everyday over several days without having to refill pockets. Also having a narrower/smaller foot print vs the tray style feeder was a goal to save some floor space. The main reason I chose this feeder was it was a top seller and had a lot of great reviews. I opted to buy 2, one each for our two cats. So far this is what I found: 1. Easy setup: without having to reference the guides too much, I was able to make sense of the buttons and functions. It was easy to program and test. I found it useful from previous reviews that pointed out because it's belt fed, to allow several feed rotations before food comes out. Instead of waiting, I made the feeder rotate manually 3 times by pressing forward button and then resetting the time and just repeated those steps till food started coming out. The main reason I did that several times was to test the portion accuracy. I tested portions by using a measuring cup and for the most part, it's fairly accurate. 2. Seems dependable: So far in the week, feedings happen on time and portions are regular. I have them set to 1/8 of a cup each feeding. Nice that you can change feeding size. I can't see if portion sizes vary, if the machine would maintain that accuracy. It seems because it's belt fed that the best way is to maintain each feeding at the same portion sizing to have a more predictable output. So keep in mind that if you have multiple mixed portion feedings, you'll want to test it to make sure it is capable of doing so. I have mine running off of the batteries and and timed both feeders around the same time and they seem to remain in sync. My previous two tray feeders would always go off sync. One feeder had a faster clock than the other. Which made me have to reset every couple of weeks or else one feeder would fall behind by minutes. Not a good thing with a more aggressive cat and a passive cat. 3. Secure lid: I have one naughty cat that likes prying around for food but he can't get into this feeder even if he smells food in the feeder bin. Thankfully he's not a super smart cat that tries all sorts of tricks to get to the food like bumping the feeder. Others have found that their cats have figured out how to bump the feeder to have some food dispense. So far my cats seem to like the frequency of feedings and portions that they don't bother looking for more. They are 10 year old cats too so they've calmed down a lot since kitten hood. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied and feel safe enough to discard of the 10 year old tray feeders that I held on to just in case these didn't work out. One thing for sure is for the money, don't go out and buy the fancy wi-fi feeders with cameras that seem nice but have bad reviews. There's a reason this feeder has this many high rated reviews and why it's a top seller.

For this most part this works as expected (mostly got it for weekends when we didn't need a cat sitter, but could not trust our cat with portion control, or didn't want to bother a neighbor to come over more than once a day). Here are our issues after using for nearly a year now: For months we've noticed that the clock slows down really quickly (on battery, might need to buy the AC adapter...). We had our cat set up to get fed on the quarter hour, and it seemed like every week or so it lagged behind by another minute. We reset the clock, and already it's back to being about 9 minutes slow. Not a huge issue, but it gets annoying when our cat notices the lag and starts meowing loudly beside the machine by the time we've gotten into the kitchen. The overhang on the dispenser sticks out just far enough that when we use our cat's usual porcelain bowl, she has a hard time getting her head in there to eat. The bowl that this came with was way too big for her small servings, and is pretty loud when the hard food falls onto the metal surface. To allow her to fit her head below the dispenser to eat, we set ours up about 6 inches onto the bottom shelf of a coffee table we have against the wall in the kitchen. After a lot of trial and error "engineering", I made a funnel out of wax paper that channels the food down and into her bowl without letting the kernels ricochet and scatter all over the place. I wish this came with a little slide or something, to let the food glide out instead of dropping straight down once it gets out of the conveyor belt. Third issue was just in setting it up; it's kind of difficult to remove the top (there's a slide button but no grip enabling you to pull upward), and it's SUPER easy to accidentally pick up the main top part of the case. Do not do this, because all the food falls into the main compartment and then you can't get the top back on. I did this twice, and had to put my cat outside to avoid her going crazy while I dumped the entire machine upside down into a bucket to get the food out and start over. It was a big annoyance, but you can avoid it by being careful, and you don't have to deal with refills all the time. Just make sure to refill before the last of the food gets channeled into the conveyor / steps, because you could accidentally short a few of those portions. Hard to explain until you're setting it up yourself.

This is going to be a lengthy review. But if you have been researching automatic feeders as intensely as I had, you'll want to read this. It's been 5 months now since I bought this feeder and I finally feel like I know enough about it to write a legit review. I'm knocking on wood as I type this in hopes nothing suddenly goes wrong now that I'm raving about it...But, this feeder 100% changed my life. I know that sounds a bit ridiculous considering it's just a pet feeder, but if you have a crazy cat like mine who constantly thinks it is starving to death, then you will know what I'm talking about. First of all, my cat is on a strict diet because, well, let's just say she's big boned. My cat could eat, eat, eat all day and never get full. She also thinks 3 AM is the perfect time to yell continuously until I would feed her. That is when I stalked amazon reading numerous reviews on numerous different feeders until I came across this one. Yes, it is a pretty penny. But, WORTH. IT. Now, this thing looks like a Keurig. It isn't the most glamourous, but once you've reached the level of insanity with your fur child like I had, you'll buy anything. I read quite a few reviews saying it was a little difficult to set up, however, if you just take your time reading the instructions, you will figure it out. It really wasn't that hard. Let me also throw in that this does NOT come with a charger or batteries. I was not aware of that. You have to buy the charger separate or go out and buy some D batteries. I just went out and bought batteries and I've been just fine since *knocking on wood* So, once I had the whole thing put together and washed it out, this is where it took me a second to catch on. There is a track on the inside that moves to dispense the food like a conveyor belt. THIS is what you need to pay attention to. You always want to make sure the track is full of food. You want to fill the track, then put the insert part back in, and THEN fill that part up with food. If you don't take it apart to fill the track and just fill the insert bowl part first, the track will move without dispensing any food until it catches on to the food that you poured in. I learned that hard way when my cat would be unusually angry and chatty at 6 am but it was because the feeder was getting low on food and the track only had about 5/6 pieces per slot. I then had to remove the top, fill the track first, then fill the feeder with food and she was happy again. That is something I'm really glad I realized to watch out before before I left town for the weekend. She would NOT have been happy with me when I got home and I would've felt awful. Now, if your cat is a friggen kitty genius like mine is, he or she will quickly catch on that the food is falling from the hole in the feeder. I suddenly would hear a couple of pieces of food falling from the feeder when it was not time for the food to fall. Sure enough, my cat had her entire arm up inside the feeder knocking down pieces. Of course the inside of the feeder is just rubber and plastic so she wasn't getting hurt and cannot get hurt from it, but she was going off of her diet and I was not okay with that. So, I duct taped pieces of card board around the side of the hole that the food falls from and we no longer have that issue. Another thing I learned- use the bowl the feeder comes with. At first I didn't want to because it's just this ugly metal bowl and I had cute kitty bowls I wanted to use, but, my cat would push around the bowl after the food fell searching for extra pieces, and then by the time the feeder was going off again, the food kibbles were just falling onto the floor going everywhere making a mess. The bowl the feeder comes with attaches to the machine itself and is much harder for my cat to move. Duh, that's why they provided me it in the first place...but I eventually caught on. I have my feeder set to go off at 6 am, 6 pm, and 10 pm. I just divided up the amount of food I would feel my cat total throughout the day, and put it in 3 different time increments. You can pretty much have any measurement of food you want to fall and it will, I've measured. I BELIEVE you can set up to 12 different times for food to fall as well, so that's cool. Your cat will eventually catch onto the schedule of the feeder and know when it's about to go off. Cats are so smart. SO all in all, I LOVE this feeder. Everyone who comes over first looks at it like I'm insane, but then they see it in action, and immediately ask me where I got it. It is a life saver. There's nothing better than hearing it go off at 6 am, hearing your cat sprint to the kitchen to eat, and then have it come back to bed happy with a full belly. Again, just pay attention to the track on the inside of the feeder. Make sure it is always full when you notice the food level getting low. You'll be extremely happy with this like I am. *Knocks on wood*

Es muy práctico y de buena calidad, sólo me costó trabajo identificar el paso en donde se pone en línea el alimentador que fue muy sencillo solo apretando el botón del centro y el de la derecha al mismo tiempo pero en los vídeos que busqué no explican ese punto, y sin ese no entregaba la comida. Salvo ese detalle todo está excelente

+ einwandfreie und zuverlässige Funktion + Netz oder Batteriebetrieb möglich + großes Fassungsvermögen (1 Katze 2-4 Wochen) - kein Netzadapter im Lieferumfang Es gibt tatsächlilch keine vergleichbare Maschine die sowohl das Futter so sicher aufbewahrt und (vor allem) ausgibt und dann auch noch wahlweise mit Netzstecker betrieben werden kann. Leider ist der Adapter trotz des hohen Preises nicht dabei. Ich habe dafür einen 9V (statt 10V) Universal-Adapter genommen und das klappt prima. Passen tut auch der: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0083PAXC4/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_23?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A10M4JKGH5TIAB Nicht von dem in einer anderen Rezension hier geposteten Video erschrecken lassen: Der Kater kommt lediglich an ein paar Stücke die noch nicht runtergefallen sind und keinesfalls an den Vorrat der bei dieser Maschine wirklich gut gesichert ist. Die Menge die er mit der Pfote evtl. erwischt ist sehr begrenzt und kommt bei der nächsten Mahlzeit dafür weniger raus. :-) Es wird ein Gummi-Förderbad verwendet wobei eine Mulde des Förderbandes einer Portion entspricht. Natürlich kann die Portionsanzahl eingestellt werden. (Stufung der Menge daher etwas grob aber i.O.) Dieses Förderband macht ein Erreichen des Vorrates mit der Pfote wirklich unmöglich. Die vier megafetten D-Batterien (bei den meisten Geräten müssen solche verwendet werden) habe ich mir zur Sicherheit auch geleistet denn wenn der Netzstecker abgezogen wird geht die Maschine sofort in den Batteriebetrieb (und umgekehrt). Super bei Stromausfall. Auch eine Funktion die man ansonsten vergeblich sucht. Das Geräusch beim Runterfallen des Futters, das hier schon bemängelt worden ist, ist doch echt sowas von egal - da hört die Katze wenigstens von weitem wann es Mampfe gibt. (bei uns von Vorteil da das Gerät im Carport steht) Ich kann es wirklich voll empfehlen und hätte schweren Herzens einen Stern abziehen müssen weil das Ding so teuer ist - den Stern gibt es aber wieder drauf weil es echt das einzige Gerät ist, das es schafft so einwandfrei zu funktionieren und die Netzfunktion bietet. Denn ich hab keine Lust alle paar Wochen vier D-Batterien wegzuschmeißen und Neue zu kaufen. Der Preis ist wirklich enorm aber es gibt im Moment keine Alternative die diesem Gerät das Wasser reichen kann. Da bei mir der Ring für die Schale bei mir schon kapputt war, (gebrauchtes Gerät als neu verkauft - Wolffstore_GmbH - Teilbetrag erstattet) habe ich mir ein Brett mit Stoppern als Unterlage gemacht das die Schale am Gerät hält - das ging sehr einfach und ist bombensicher. Nach langer Suche habe ich dieses Gerät gekauft und bin sehr zufrieden damit. Ich habe mir viele Maschinen sehr genau angesehen. Alles andere was ich so gelesen habe scheint dagegen echter Schrott zu sein. Hierfür aber volle Empfehlung! Danke für's Lesen!

I wanted a feeder that would dispense food more than 4 times a day . this will do 12. the reservoir for food is at least 8 lbs of food . it takes about 75 % of a 12 lb bag of food. The smallest portion is 1/8 of a cup. I measured the output when I got it over a 24 hour period. very close to what i set on the feeder. This is done via a conveyor belt. each section of the conveyor is 1/8 of a cup. so if you program for 1/2 a cup the conveyor advances 4 positions to dispense the amount. very accurate. has a slow feeder option which works great . if you set it on the hour it wil dispense the food on the hour , five , ten and 15 minute after the hour. this is great as my dog gulps his food down and is prone to bloat. I bought the plug in charger , complete waste of money . 4 D cell batteries are good for a year. it has a tiny electric motor to operate and it uses very little power. best of all you can put it any where you want and not have to worry about power cords My wife was skeptical and said I like gadget. I was too but so far it has exceeded all expectations . very happy. oh one person commented that not all the food would slide down the hopper . I have not experienced this.completely empties the hopper every time.

petsafe is a great brand. this feeder in particular has made my life a breeze. i just make sure the food is topped off and let it do its job. my cats don’t beg me to feed them. they now eat regularly and thanks to the slow setting they don’t inhale their food. also helps that i keep the feeder far away from the kitchen; the cats don’t go on the kitchen counter as much anymore. tips: DO NOT throw away the instruction manual! you will need it when making modifications to the schedule 6-10 months down the line. trust me. i’m so happy i kept it as the set up is slightly tricky if you don’t have the manual.

De momento es la mejor tolva automática que he tenido. Los plásticos son de buena calidad y el plato és de acero inoxidable. Muy fácil de programar. Se pueden dispensar hasta 12 comidas al día. Muy útil cuando tienes muchos gatos como yo. Se pueden desmontar todos los componentes para lavarlos. Y lo más importante: EL PIENSO NO SE ATASCA NUNCA! El único pero que le pondría es que el aro que sujeta el plato es un poco endeble
