PETLIBRO Automatic Cat Feeder Dog Food Dispenser Auto Timer Pet Feeding Tray, Low Food & Motion & Sound Alerts, 4L Basic PLAF004

Had this product for about a month now and so far I love the quality and works as it is intended too. It's easy to set up a feeding schedule and the dispensing is accurate (I use Orijen Small bites and it's perfect size) does not jam or over flow. Bought this as several attempts to try and make feeding time less stressful on myself and my rescue Shiba who was apparently attacked in the shelter during feeding time and developed a lot of PTSD and crazy quirks from it (sometimes he thiks his tail is another dog and he will attack it during meal times). I tried to feed him from a regular bowl but I have been bitten for getting too close and then he would follow me around as if i was a threat to his food and would try and eat it all. I then switched to a gravity bowl feeder which helped keep me out of the picture and was less stressful for both of us... issue was the food never ended and he was over eating an it now a bit chunky. I recently took him to the vet and learned he has a luxating patilla and a bit of arthritis in thag knee and that he had gained 3 lbs since I rescued him! He is not a bit dog and I felt bad so I bought this to get his weight down in hopes it would keep him from over eating. SO FAR SO GOOD! He no longer associates me with his food bowl, he no longer attacks his tail when he is full and then thinks his tail is going to eat it and so he forces himself to keep eating. He no linger guards uneaten food. I dont have the voice activation set up but the food despenses loud enough he just jumps up to go check it out and their is no anxieties attached it's been a huge relief. He now doesnt feel the need to guard the bowl of uneaten food from people or the cats because he is comfortable eating the serving and then it's gone. I'll have to give it more time before updating my review on Mako's progress because of the product. So happy i went out and bought the fountain water dish since the cats love to drink from the dogs gravity water bowl but they keep jamming it and making a mess when playing in the water. Comes Wednesday and I'll have to make a review on whether it's a better option for the cats who see to struggle finsing the water until they splash in it and see it move or despense. *Update* been a year and a half and the products have not had any issues and still work as intended. My dog knows when his food will despense... he is a medium sized Shiba and I buy the Orijen small bites and it's perfect. No more stressful meal times! The water dish is used by all 3 pets. My cats love it and so does my shiba. I do have to refill it everyday with 3 pets using it but I don't mind... just means the water is fresh. Worth the money.

Update-2 years later: I have had this for two years now and there have been no problems with jamming, malfunctions, etc. The battery back up is excellent and has worked great during power outages. Even when I take the batteries out and disconnect from outlet to clean, the clock and settings resume perfectly without having to be reset once reconnected to power sources. One issue is that if it is not cleaned regularly crevices in the shute, in the part that rotates to portion the food, etc can develop some mold as even the dry kibble has some moisture/oils. I take it apart and clean it about once a month. The other issue is that after I take it apart and wash everything, it has to dry ABSOLUTELY completely or else more mold will develop. I live in an extremely humid environment in the summers and it can be very hard to get it completely dry-especially the parts with multiple crevices and nooks and crannies. I've learned to dry it with a hand towel as much as possible, then let it sit for several hours, tap the pieces that have nooks and crannies on my hand repeatedly until I no longer feel droplets coming out, let it sit again and test again for moisture before reassembling it. However, even though this is a pain, the feeder is absolutely worth it in my opinion. I still have someone come by once a day when I am away to check on the cat and make sure the feeder it working ok (and clean the litter box, etc) but I no longer have to have someone come more than that. Although I have read other reviews where people mention that their cat has learned to tip it over to get the top off, my cat has not bothered it. Original review: I bought this several months ago for my obese cat who can't be convinced that he will get meals reliably and eats all of whatever is put before him rapidly and then barfs it up. I've been able to program it to dispense small amounts of food 6 times a day and he is slowly losing weight and mostly satisfied. The only problem has been that the directions for taking the inner piece out when cleaning are incorrect and could damage the feeder if followed the way it is printed. I found an excellent YouTube video which showed the proper way to do this. It also matters which way it is reassembled... again seems vulnerable to breaking if not done properly. So the printed directions which come with the product need revising/correcting. The hopper holds nearly a month's worth of food. No jamming so far. The display is easy to program (the directions are clear and accurate for this feature) and the clock maintains the time even when there's no power from either battery or electricity. For some reason, my batteries have run down even with little to no use while the unit is plugged into the electricity socket. I have recently put in new batteries in case there was something wrong with the first set so hopefully I can see if this is a problem with the unit or not. I do need the batteries to stay charged in case of power outages. I still have a pet sitter come once a day if I am gone more than a day to make sure everything is ok.

The overall product seems like great quality and came as advertised. We have used it for about one week and while the cats still need more time to get used to it, it has worked perfectly set up to our schedule. The instructions were easy to follow and we were able to set up our feeding schedule in minutes. The voice recording feature is cute but can't say that our cats really respond to it yet. We have noticed that the hopper fullness/dish fullness sensitivity sets off the warning on the screen very easily, but it is not too hard to fix that to make the alarm go away. The brightness of the light on front (blue or red depending on status) is really strong and I wish there was a way to turn it down or make it less bright. It only functions as an alert feature for humans and not pets and it seems like its right at eye level for our cats - I do wonder if it bothers them. The portion size is good and you might have to test with your pet food to see exactly how much comes out. The hopper full of food does not actually lock and is really just a cover, but it fits snugly enough that our mischievous cat hasn't figured out how to get it off. Overall I'm satisfied and I hope this product lasts us a long time.

I bought two of these automatic feeders; one for my cat’s food and one for his treats. Programming them was super easy, and I’m running both on batteries so I don’t have to keep them plugged in. 1 year in and they’ve been awesome and have worked flawlessly so far. It gives me a lot of peace of mind when I’m away or on vacation knowing my indoor/outdoor cat can come inside, eat on schedule, and not miss a meal. They also look really nice sitting in my home — clean design and easy to keep tidy. Definitely worth it.

This arrived today badly packaged, no instructions and even worse it has been obviously used as the bowl is dirty and the storage area has crumbs from the cat biscuits clearly visible. It will be going straight back. Seeing as I paid full price, I’m actually appalled at its condition!

One of our indoor cats would always wake up up around 4am wanting to be fed. He would knock stuff off our chest of drawers. Now we have an automatic feeding time for 4am & 6am I dont even have to get out of bed so early anymore and hes stopped knocking stuff off to get our attention for bickies haha worth every cent! Cute how you can record your voice too. Highly recommended!

Convenient easy toilet up and use, and most importantly easy to clean.

Mooi en goed katjes moeten er nog aan wennen

Lo compré hace años y todavía sigue funcionando a la perfección. La batería le dura bastante tiempo así que no hay riesgo que tu mascota se quede sin comer si se va la luz. Es fácil de lavar.
