C300 Automatic 3 Meal Pet Feeder with Digital Timer (366) - for Cats or Small Dogs, for Wet and Dry Pet Food, Meals up to 0.73 lb Each, White

EDIT: Although I still love this product, after eight months it has become unreliable. Sometimes it opens almost all the way and stops, sometimes it doesn't rotate and open at all. It also is opening much much slower than it used to. The batteries are new. Something has gone wrong and I can't figure out what. It's never been dropped or come in contact with water. The clock works fine all the time ... it's just that I can no longer feel confident my girl will be fed on time if I'm not here to open and change the dish if it malfunctions. I hate to spend the money to replace it if there's a chance of the same outcome. Still leaving it as a 5 star hoping mine is the exception. ~~~~~~~~ PERFECT solution to feeding my food/treat motivated miniature poodle. She's on a prescription diet and eats 3 smaller meals daily. Sometimes I can't be home when she needs to eat and this makes both of our lives better. When her internal clock tells her it's close to meal time Piper will hang out near the feeder and the second she hears the gears start turning, she's ON IT (did I mention she looooves food?) It's very easy to set the timer and you can adjust it anytime you need to. This one has two timers as well as a digital clock on it. There are 3 compartments ... one is open/uncovered for first feeding and two that are safely covered until the timer rotates the compartments. The compartments will hold a good amount of food for a cat or smaller dog. This model won't accommodate quite a cup of kibble though, so probably won't work for a large dog. There are 3 pieces to this feeder not counting the freeze pack. It's very well made and quite sturdy. I bought an extra ice/freeze pack because sometimes I forget to pop it in the freezer in the evening. I recommend doing that unless you only feed kibble, in which case you won't need the freeze pack at all. All in all, this has been a life changer for me.

Decent feeder. I use this on weekends when visiting my long distance boyfriend. One dish is open before the first timer for meal one goes off. Once the meal is opened at its set time, it stays open until the next schedule feed, which is good for cats who graze. Sometimes my cat eats all the food and other times not. But he does this I think because I’m not there and he likes when I’m around to eat. The cooling feature, works so so. I don’t mind leaving it not cooled as he eats canned food that isn’t cooled normally and it sits out for a bit while he grazes.

This little feeder has been one of my best Amazon purchases ever! I bought it to portion control and to keep my cat from waking me up too early for his breakfast. Not only did it get him on a feeding schedule for life, but it's still working perfectly after 6 years. I purchased a second one for a new cat we adopted because I knew the first one held up so well. It's easy to use, easy to clean and best of all it's MADE TO LAST.

UPDATE: My kittens have used both of these a ton in the last few months and have never opened it up again. This leads me to believe it was user error. I love these feeders and they always work. Changing my vote to a 5/5. Original review: I guess before I start the review, I should mention what kind of cats I have. I have 2. I feed them a completely raw diet only and that makes it difficult to always be there to feed them 3 times a day. They brothers, but their breeds are a little different. One is American Shorthair, Siberian, and Turkish Angora. The other is American Shorthair, Siberian, Ragdoll, and Maine Coon. The Turkish Angora is insane when it comes to food and treats. Now the review, I want to love this product, I really do. I had hoped to put Freeze Dried treats in the compartments for almost all occasions so if I was out of town I wouldnt have to deal with Frozen Raw Food. The timer is awesome, I was able to eye sync it to the time on my phone, the mechanism is great as well. Where the product fails is the enclosure. My Turkish Angora was able to either flip it over and pin the machine against something and PRY the top off. Yikes. Clearly they are both a little too healthy and active. If the manufacturer could make the pins that you have to open the top harder to open I would appreciate it. Maybe make the indents that stick out longer so there's more grab. Besides that this is pretty good and if you have a cat that is not drunk for treats or food 24/7 I would highly recommend it. I will still use mine, as maybe this was just a fluke. Hard to say when it was the first day using it. I will update the score if it never happens again in a few months.

Let me start by saying I could live with out this. We had to by two at the same time and it felt like a huge outlay. But with young cats on a more frequent eating schedule, than a full grown one. As they are fans of wet food, the sealed units are brilliant abs they do eat the food even at the end of the day. This has meant we can go for a long day out, or an evening out and know they have their food at regular intervals, on their normal schedule. Once the cats are older and we can leave them over night, we know they will still keep to their eating schedule, with fresh food. It is easy to set up. Read the instructions - I may have jumped in and it took me a little longer to get it right. The freezer packs are great. The dishes go in the dishwasher, so easy to clean. The main unit is easy to wipe down. The unit is rather big, and very different from the normal food dish arrangement, but ours get on with it fine - our boy cat is a sensitive soul and struggles with change, so I try and leave a few biscuits in one of these so it smells of food and he associates it with meals. It can be a little bit noisy when the dish moves round - but I’ve noticed it does act as a call to food, so that can’t be bad. I would really recommend this if you have cats who need an early morning feed, or if you have a change to your routine but want your cats to stay on theirs.

Se siete tormentati dal vostro gatto che alle prime luci dell’alba vi salta sul letto, avete trovato l’oggetto che fa per voi. Avrete almeno 5 minuti di calma, più il tempo per la pennichella post prandiana. Inoltre vi permette di erogare il cibo se siete fuori casa per lavoro o impegni. La ciotola è fatta davvero bene, materiali robusti e a prova di scassinamento. Si può anche fissare ad un pannello per evitare che il gatto sposti la ciotola. Facile da programmare e da pulire. Non è proprio immediato capirne il funzionamento, avrei gradito che mettessero delle frecce per aver chiaro il senso di rotazione e anche il numero dello scompartimento a vista dentro la ciotola, ma sono finezze. Ho notato che a volte il meccanismo si sfasa, forse perché il gatto ci mette lo zampino…. e quindi il settore dello scompartimento non è ben allineato con l’apertura. Di solito basta farla ruotare per rimetterla a posto. Utile il ghiacciolo da freezer per conservare fresco il pasto, sarebbe stato utile averne anche un secondo da alternare.

Fast delivery and received exactly what was described.works very well and l don’t have to get up in the night to feed my cat a snack.so l get a good night sleep. Thank you very much Would recommend this item

Really disappointed as I bought this because I thought it would dispense all 3 meals. You can only automate 2 of the 3 meals so one of them has to be manually put in which defeats the purpose of having 3 separate slots. It was supposed to help for when I have busy days but it feels more of a hinderence.

Je l’utilise depuis 3 semaines quotidiennement pour donner un traitement médical mélangé à de la nourriture toutes les 4 heures à un gros chien. Facile à programmer, à nettoyer, pour le moment il fait son taff, mon chien a ses médicaments même quand je suis absente. L’appareil grince un peu quand le compartiment tourne et mon chien a vite assimilé ce bruit à de la nourriture. Le compartiment est suffisamment grand pour qu’il puisse lécher la compote que j’utilise comme camoufle-médocs et l’appareil est suffisamment lourd et stable pour que le chien ne le bouge pas quand il lèche énergiquement. Mon chien a bien essayé au départ de trouver un moyen d’atteindre la nourriture à coup de crocs mais le coté rond et lisse ne lui a pas permis de trouver une prise. Pour le moment, je n’ai pas eu à changer les piles. Même si c’est un peu cher pour ce que c’est, je ne regrette pas un instant cet achat qui a joué un rôle essentiel dans la nette amélioration de la santé de mon chien.
