Reviews and Ratings - Pet Care - Electronic Petfeeder By Staff Reviewer
Feed the right amount of food
By Staff Reviewer from Merrimack, NH on 7/24/2008
Pros:
Easy To Use, Effective, Gentle, Good Value
Best Uses:
Every day, Home
Describe Yourself:
Long-time Pet Owner
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
More and more vets emphasize the need to feed only the proper amount of food, the correct number of times a day, to help prevent pet obesity and diabetes. OK, but who is able to stay home and measure out food multiple times a day? This pet feeder is like a pet care assistant, helping you keep your pet happy and healthy, without a lot of extra hassle. Just program it, keep the food bin topped up and you’re set!

Better with larger food granules
By PetFeeder Reviewer from Pacific Northwest on 12/28/2007
Best Uses:
Short-Term Care
Describe Yourself:
Long-time Pet Owner
Pros:
---------------------------------
- Works as Advertised: Once you get it set up and programmed correctly, the feeder works as expected
- Good Length Power Cord: The power cord that's included is a good length so you don't need to place the feeder in front of an A/C outlet
Cons:
---------------------------------
- Difficult to Program: The timer that's included with the feeder is difficult to program. The instructions are useful but left a lot of unanswered questions I had to discover through trial and error. The instructions could be improved.
- Unpredictable amount of food: I can run the feeder for a fixed amount of time several iterations and the amount of food that comes out can vary each time.
- Works better with larger food granules: We use ours with cat food and the granules are on the smaller side. Because the cat granules are small, I can make more food come out of the feeder just by shaking it (but the cat doesn't know this yet)
- Need to fill the feeder with extra food even for short term use: Because the feeder relies on food falling into the chamber, you need to keep a lot of food in the storage bin so that there is food that falls into the bottom chamber where the corkscrew spins to send food out to the tray. We end up having to put more food into the storage bin so enough is available to fall into the bottom chamber.
- No way to dump food from storage bin: After putting more food than necessary into the storage bin (see point above) it becomes necessary to dump the food out of the storage bin and there is no easy way to dump any food out of the pet feeder. You can turn it upside down but there is a grating that makes it hard to dump any extra food in the bin.
