Cat Mate Pet Mate C500 Automatic Pet Feeder with Digital Timer for Cats and Small Dogs [White, Grey]

This product met all my requirements; easy to use, easy to clean and reliable for feedings of wet food at set intervals. I have a small dog with digestive issues and she requires small feedings of wet prescription dog food several times during the overnight. It has not failed to deliver during the 2 months that I have been using. The ice packs are a necessity when trying to keep the food fresh in the compartments and they stay cold for many hours. I like how easy it is to fill at night and clean up the next morning with the plastic tray where the food is kept. She has not been able to get into the covered compartments with the one piece lid and has not been able to cover it up with her crate fleece when her stomach is telling her food is a bad thing because of it's size. I do have a large sized crate and there is enough room for our 8 lb dog to lie down comfortably and for this unit to sit in the corner. This close setup also lets her know when the next compartment is being rotated so she can eat. It does make a small noise when rotating and may wake some people if used during the night in the same room. I have learned that the batteries can jar lose if for instance, it drops off of the top of the crate, where I keep it during the day. However setting it up again is simple. 5 compartments are available (1 immediate feed and 4 timed feedings.) I do not have a dog which chews and those who do may have to weigh whether their small dog would chew up the plastic lid trying to get at the food in the compartments. My dog sniffs earnestly for a few minutes trying to get at the food when I first put it in the crate and then lets it go. This feeder has saved my sanity in that I no longer have to set alarms to get up to feed her during the night. Great product at a great price. I hope the longevity of the rotating mechanism is equally as good.

Works great but very very loud

Excelente para lo que necesitaba. Mi gato requiere una mezcla muy específica de comida y porciones exactas por peso, y este comedero me permite prepararlo todo con antelación y cubrir hasta 24 horas sin que yo tenga que estar presente. Funciona perfectamente y es muy fiable para un control preciso de la alimentación. Como pequeños inconvenientes: las hormigas pueden entrar, así que conviene tenerlo en cuenta si tienes ese problema en casa. Además, el reloj no es totalmente preciso y parece atrasarse alrededor de un minuto cada pocos días, pero no es un gran problema y se ajusta fácilmente. En general, muy satisfecho y totalmente recomendable si tu gato necesita comidas planificadas y medidas con precisión.

Fonctionne très bien Bon rapport qualité/prix

Easy to use, good sized food trays, easy enough to clean, the icepacks are a nice touch and it's been very reliable so far. No more being woken up early by hungry cats. I find you can also freeze food in the trays as well as using the ice packs to get a couple extra days worth of feeding. Makes it very useful for trips that might last around 4 days (depending on the weather). Took a while for the cats to get used to food magically appearing without having to meow at me, but they figured it out eventually.
