PetSafe Simply Feed Automatic Dog and Cat Food Dispenser, Portion Choice, Slow Feed Option, 5.6L Capacity

This has been such a game changer for us a family. We have two cats and were forever having to ask neighbours to pop in over weekends when we were away to see family. This pet feeder has changed all that and means we can nip away for weekends safe in the knowledge that the cats will be fed at their normal meal times and we won't continue to take our neighbours helpfulness for granted.The feeder itself is about the size of two large cereal boxes put together and bowl is large enough for two cats to feed from at the same time. We use James Wellbeloved dry food in our feed and a full hopper lasted for about 2 weeks. You'll also need to purchase 4 D Cell batteries which the manufacturer states will last approximately 1 year of constant use.Setting up the feeder was rather simple, the instructions were clear and simple to follow. The only onerous task was to work out how much food to dispense at each meal time as different cat food weighs differently. I got round this my weighing a number of portions dispensed and then worked out from that how many portions required to feed our two cats at their meal times. (for us it was 4 portions per meal time). The slow feed option is really great, especially for our two cats as it means that the meal time is spread over 15mins so it gives ample time for both cats to eat the correct amount.Cleaning of the parts is easy enough and the lid has a decent lid so curious cats or dogs shouldn't be able to lift it off, also the machine is heavy enough not to be knocked over.This is a fantastic feeder that will pay for itself over and over again as we will not have to pay for expensive boarding for our cats when we are on holiday.On a side note look out for this on amazon warehouse deals, we managed to get ours, not in an original box mind, for 70GBP. A steal if you ask me.

We have two cats, one who is currently still growing, and another who was gaining weight. We researched automated feeding options that would help us track the amount of food they were getting, and decided to purchase this model.It has been over a month and we are happy with the decision. It holds a lot of food, isn’t easy to break into or knock over, and isn’t hard to program. You can schedule up to 12 meals, and these are not difficult to reschedule if you need to adjust the amount or time (which we have done a few times already).The cats find it easier to share and eat when the food falls to a flat surface, so we didn’t connect the bowl and instead used it as a water dish.Our cats were previously free-fed and have taken to the schedule well. Our older cat is no longer gaining weight, and it’s amusing to see the kitten run to the food before the rest of us even hear the motor.Overall, this is exactly the solution we were looking for. While it isn’t the nicest looking machine, it works well and has been dependable.

We've had this for about a week now, and it's been an absolute saviour. Both myself and my other half sleep really badly, and take a long time to get back to sleep when woken up and so having the cat automatically fed a little bit before he would usually try to wake up and bother us is amazing.The timer is spot on, and although the measurements in in 1/8 cup increments, if you can work out what you'd usually feed a cat through the day, weigh that, and then weigh a 1/8 cup portion from the machine, the calculations are simple if your cat eats all the things in sight like ours does.Couple of observations we've had - firstly, the biscuits make quite a loud dinging noise when they hit the bowl if it's empty, which for our cat was utterly terrifying to begin with, if he was in the kitchen. It does work brilliantly to summon him from the bedroom in the morning though!If you use your own bowl, and have one of those sloping ones to try and help with flat faced cats/whisker fatigue, it will serve as an excellent slide to send the biscuits on the floor for you to step on, or the dog to eat.. so worth keeping that in mind.The 1 thing I took a star off for though - there is an Alexa skill that can be enabled, but doesn't work with the UK Alexa accounts. Although we have timers available, my wife being visually impaired would massively benefit for asking "she who must not be named" to feed the cat if it was needed. Other than that, this thing is worth every penny.

Item arrived super quick, even though I didn't pay extra for delivery. The unit itself is essentially a big plastic box with a conveyor belt and little buckets that deliver the food and drop it out in set quantities. Programming is fine if you follow the instructions and you must prime the thing each time the hopper runs empty. Went away for four days and the cat was fed twice a day without fail. I now leave the unit on and use it daily as it regulates the exact amount and times of feeding. It is expensive for what it is, should come with batteries for the price and time will tell if it is reliable and durable . That said not having a fat moaning cat wake me each morning and the cost saving of not putting the cat in a cat home when away on holiday I am totally satisfied. As the food drops onto the metal dish it makes quite a noise and the cat has learnt this means food, initially she was scared of it.

Easy to set up compared to my previous PetSafe auto feeder. Unfortunately, the dish is a little big for my cat, but I like that it is metal, which is much healthier because it is easily cleaned and does not collect bacteria. An adapter with a smaller dish designed for cats would be a welcome addition. Overall, it is a great addition to the PetSafe line of products.

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.

parfait , j ai un malinois, vous pouvez programmer n'importe qu'elle dose en gramme de croquette , plusieurs fois dans la journée si vous le voulez et cela tous les jours .Pour ma part le réservoir me fait une semaine .

Väldigt simpel och smart design som gör att jag alltid litar på att katterna får mat. Vi hade en icke-Wi-Fi anslutna varianten innan i många år innan vi skaffa denna och va väldigt nöjda.

Il prodotto è come da descrizione. Ha un prezzo più alto rispetto agli altri, ma è un'azienda che dal punto di vista tecnologico non si smentisce. In passato ho acquistato anche la gattaiola con il cip e il collegamento a corrente con cui mi sono trovata benissimo. Ho regolato tramite l'app l'erogazione 4 volte al giorno. Il gatto inizialmente era diffidente e me l'ha marcato, ma poi ho notato un netto miglioramento nella gestione del cibo da parte del mio animale. Utile per il controllo della dieta, tanto è vero che non si abbuffa più. Inoltre è molto comoda la notifica di avvenuta dispensazione del cibo, utile per il controllo a distanza. Unico neo non dovuto al servizio Amazon e né per l'azienda, il blocco del prodotto in Dogana, ho dovuto chiamare più volte l'azienda e contattare il servizio Amazon. Il prodotto è poi arrivato fortunatamente nei tempi previsti prima delle vacanze.
