DOGNESS Programmable Automatic Dog & Cat Feeder

I purchased this December 15, 2020 by January 25th it stopped working. The recording works to tell my cat it's food time but, it stopped dispensing food. I cleaned it out three times to make sure the food hadn't jammed the mechanism but it won't work. I'm very disappointed in this machine considering the cost. I'm an avid believer in you get what you pay for but, that obviously didn't work this time. I do not recommend this item. The ease of setup and programming is pretty easy but does not negate the fact that the machine is not working less than six weeks after purchase.

One of my cats felt that two portions of dry food and one of wet food per day was not enough (she was the type who felt that a full bowl all day was preferable). She learned how to stick her paw up the chute and push on the levers to let more food down. Of course, she taught the trick to the other kitties! That model had flimsy levers that broke off, until, finally, there was just a chute. I bought the Dogness feeder to replace the old unit and was pleasantly surprised at its robust design. I also like that it can be completely disassembled for cleaning. I found it easy to program, and it accommodates food with freeze dried bits. This is a great unit for smart pets!

I love the product but was given a navy feeder when I ordered a black one. It it working well so far, but I would have liked to get the right color!

I love this programmable feeder. My cat has been waking me up way too early to be fed. He is also overweight. I have his feeder rationed out to the same amount of food, but it feeds 4 times per day in smaller doses. Easy to program, just like a coffee pot. I use the smaller portion wheel and it works great!

This was easy for me to program and came with clear directions. The food portions are small enough to be very precise in the amount of food dispensed at each given time. The motor is actually pretty quiet and it works well with the smaller cat food.

Easy installation my cat loves it and you can program machine to record your voice!

I bought this programmable feeder to use when I was out of town...it’s now the feeder for my cats everyday. I had tried another feeder first, but it didn’t work with my cats’ smaller kibble. This works perfectly. It is a little difficult to figure out feeding amounts, converting the machine’s units into half cups and cups. Just takes a little playing around with to figure out the correct serving amount.

I was looking for an automatic feeder for my cat as I was leaving on a 2 week vacation, and didn’t want my cat sitter coming x2 a day. It actually worked great! You can set up 4 meals per day and the number of portions to dispense.

I was leaving town for a few days and did not want to have my daughter come over and feed my two cats every morning and night.They have been put on a special diet by the vet, they needed to lose weight (So do I). This DOGNESS Programmable Automatic Cat Feeder was the perfect answer. It lacks instructions on programming but the difficulty level is about the same as programming a Automatic Coffee Pot. It also has a large container for food. (about one weeks worth, at 3/4 cup or 5 gms a day total) I have been checking the amount of food being dispersed during the evening feeding and it continues to deliver the correct amount of diet food. I have only had this for two week.

I don't use this feature, my cats figured out with in a day the sound of the food being dispersed and come running for their morning and evening meals. … more

It would've been great if it didn't stop working after a couple months.
