The right tool to feed your cats while you sleep or have to be away from home at meal time.
I love these feeders! I have two, plus an extra four cold packs. I can set up the next day’s breakfast before bed and they’ll get breakfast on time even if I sleep late. The same works for their dinner, which they can eat on time even when I’m gone for an evening meeting. My cats tend to hide when a stranger is in the house. With these feeders, my pet sitter can come in, clean and fill the feeders, and leave. The cats can then feel comfortable coming out of hiding at meal time. If you plan to use them, use them all the time. That way the cats learn to expect the compartments to open on schedule.They are easily programmable to fit your schedule. 5 compartments mean you can leave one empty and have up to 4 meals ready to be delivered at appointed times. The removable feeding trays and cold packs are easy to clean, tough plastic. They are powered by 3 ordinary AA batteries, so you don’t have to worry about a power outage while you are gone. Mine have been running for 14 months on the first set. Get an extra set of cold packs so one set can be in the freezer while the other set is in use.I think they make another model with 3 compartments for those who only want to load 2 meals at a time.Even when I was home, my cats used to wake me up at 6 AM on a Saturday morning to feed them. Now they’ll let me sleep. What a blessing!

My cats love it.
Works great and simple to use. Make sure the zero on the the food tray lines up with the zero on the bottom part. There’s not any numbers on the other compartments just the zero. How ever it does show what direction it turns. Im very happy I found one my cats will actually eat out of.

Worked for my cat but best if using dry food
This worked for my cat when she is indoors for the night or when we’re gone for the day and she’s outside. However, if you use wet cat food, it can get messy and ants are attracted to the food. I think it’s better for dry food. It is easy to figure out how to set and reset the timer and easy to clean and store also.

This Automatic Feeder Saved My Life
I know I am being dramatic, but this automatic feeder saved my effing life. I switched my cats diet to wet canned food because I heard the horrors of how dry food not only leads to obesity (my girl cat is overweight) but also can lead to urine crystals for male cats (male cat is 5). Once I learned this and found out the urine crystal issue will either kill them or cost a $5,000 surgery I KNEW I had to switch to wet food.Anyways, I did so and it was hell at first because my male cat Joey kept waking me up in the middle of the night while I was sleeping because he would want more; he is nocturnal after all. I would wake up 2-3 times every night at around 2, 4, and 5am just to open up a can and get a plate out for him. It was DESTROYING my sleep and every day at work I felt like a zombie or like a mom of a newborn baby. I am only 24 so I was like I was NOT ready to be a mom like that except for 2 cats. Anyways, one night after extreme lack of sleep I thought to myself that there MUST be some sort of robot to do this for me, given that it is 2021. And indeed, there are multiple brands of automatic wet food feeders!I tried another one before this, but this one is by far the best option simply because it has ICE PACKS and that is what gives it the ability to keep food cold & fresh all night long during a nice typical 8 hours of sleep. So, if you’re doing this while you sleep for 8 or so hours, here is what I recommend:Put the first meal in right as you go to bed, for me that is 11:30pm. I refrigerate the next (2) meals, which go off at 2:00am & 3:30am. The final (2) meals I freeze, which go off at 4:50am and 5:50am. I didn’t create these times, my cat decided them and I am rolling with it. After enough nights your cat will have a perfect internal clock and memorize these times naturally anyways. For freezing the last (2) meals, make sure to take the wet food out of the can and put it into some other bigger container so that it is easier to take out. Taking out frozen meat from a can would obviously be difficult. I freeze the meat for just 1 hour and by the time it is 4:50am and 5:50am, it thaws out for my kitties. I also refrigerate the meat for 1 hour as well. And this is all with the icepacks also during their job too.Lastly, at first my cat Joey was scared sh*tless of the feeder because it MOVES automatically and one time his face was in it, eating, and it moved and he just freaked the eff out. So for about 10 days he would be too scared to eat from it, he would wake me up every time he was hungry and I had to coax him into trusting it. Basically I would take a spoon and put a little bit of the food on top of the feeder. He wasn’t afraid of the top part, so he ate it. Then he’d realize there was a whole PILE of meat within the opening and it was just INCHES away from where his face just was, so I think his kitty brain realized, well I guess this must be safe after all. So after about 10 days of coaching him and helping him remove his fears of this moving machine, he is no longer afraid at all and absolutely loves that feeder.Now EVERY time the feeder goes off he runs to it, without any fear at all, and eats his heart out. Same for the girl kitty. Thank GOD for this feeder, it saved my sleep and therefore saved the quality of my life. 10/10.

Great, well-made product. Works best for single dog.
I really like this product. This product is amazingly well-made, well-designed, and easy to clean.. It’s easy to fill, easy to program and has a great variability. I tried the ice packs for a day, and it kept my food, cool, and fresh for the dogs. I also got the addition of the stainless silver inserts, and would highly recommend them. They are individual stainless steel inserts, and it makes it much easier to fill, rearrange in the holder, and clean.It did not take my dogs long to learn to use it, or what the turning sound meant.When you have multiple meals in the container, they can smell them, and my dogs were very curious about trying to get into the other meals. My dogs are small. If you have large dogs, they might be able to break in.My only CAUTION is, this may not be good for multiple dogs. I have two litter mates. They get along very well. However, this caused them to exhibit food aggression. The primary problem is no matter how you set the clocks, the units do NOT open at the same time. That made my larger of the two siblings be able to get to one unit, eat the food, and then go guard the other unit until it opened 15 seconds later. So, the smaller of the two dogs didn’t get food. (I was very careful, and had both units programming at the same time; hitting the buttons on both units at the same time, to make sure they were synced.) After resetting it multiple times, I had to give up. If your animals occupy separate rooms when you’re gone, you would be fine.So, despite the fact that I couldn’t use them for my dogs, if you have one dog, or if you have 2 dogs that are not particularly food motivated, they would probably work fine for you.

This is great. I only need it for a day now and then.It’s battery operated so if the power goes, my cat gets fed.It has cool pads so I can leave wet good in there.The basins are wide enough for comfort I think, and they’re easy to clean.Practically it only conceals 4 meals- but that’s all I need.Many of the fancier ones were huge or gimmicky- this is simple, low profile and resistant to my HassleCat.The only thing is that the cold packs have started to buckle a bit. We’ll see how long they last.Very happy with it overall

Avevo già preso la stessa ciotola da tre scomparti per dare da mangiare al gatto di notte ed evitare che venisse a svegliarci (obbiettivo in parte raggiunto visto che la fame è solo uno dei tanti motivi per cui un gatto viene a svegliarti 😂), abbiamo deciso di prendere anche questa per avere qualche giorno di autonomia in caso di un week end fuori casa.Che dire, si confermano i pregi della precedente, ottima fattura, plastiche resistenti ma non rigide (tollerano senza problemi qualche colpo/caduta), sistema di selezione degli orari molto semplice seguendo le istruzioni (ci sono quattro orari che possono essere impostati tutti all’interno della stessa giornata oppure si può impostare un solo orario per quattro giorni o due orari per due giorni). Le batterie durano davvero molti mesi. Compresi anche due “ghiaccioli” da mettere in freezer per mantenere il cibo fresco, se la usate per più giorni non basterà se fa molto caldo, consiglio di congelare anche la pappa prima di metterla nella ciotola.
